I can't believe some have bought into Trumps debate bluff

17. This highlights a problem that women and minorities face when having to deal with microaggression

We have to carefully consider every option for responding to it - do we deal with it head on or just ignore it. If we confront it head on, we're accused of overreacting, whining, etc. If we ignore it, we're criticized for not going on the attack. And we have to figure this all out in real time while we're trying to do our job.

In Hillary's case, she had to choose whether to ignore him or do what you suggested. Had she turned around and told him to back off and sit down, the reaction would have been "Wow. She sure overreacted. She really let him rattle her. She should have just ignored him." She ignored him and people say she should have confronted him. And she had to make that decision on her feet, in real time, while she was trying to answer a debate question.

it's a no-win situation we're put in.

So while you wish she had done something different, I don't think it's fair to criticize her for making the choice she did in that moment and for accusing her of missing an opportunity. That's very easy to say from the sidelines.
