In reply to the discussion: When Trump insults Hillary or Bill during the GE Debate [View all]Chan790
(20,176 posts)In a GE, it would be a bloodbath. It could only help her there though...people tend to like honesty as a change of pace from pols, even when they're saying honestly terrible things. I can't say like Hillary Clinton, but I have to respect that she does actually understand something most Democrats seem to not understand: Politics is bloodsport. If she's not responding now, I have to assume she's saving her ammo until she can nail him at point-blank range in a head-to-head fight.
Let him attack her...then respond not to rebut his attacks but reveal his greater malign complicity in what he's accusing her of.
"Oh yes, everybody knows my husband is a incorrigible flirt, but those prostitutes Donald is always surrounding himself with are like leaving candy lying around for Bill."
Whatever he attacks with...rebut it with his complicity.
If he accuses her of being a crook, rebut he'd know since he tried to bribe her. Low energy? That's because she's not into cocaine like the Trumps. Frigid? A lesbian? (These are the kinds of bombastic inanities I can see him resorting to) Her sex-life is not a qualification of office, but she sees why a serial-philandering pervert like him would want to talk about it.
Break out the purse-mouthed impression she did of him on SNL on a debate stage and it's all over...she'd be mocking him to his face and he'd utterly lose it. $50 says he'd call her a c*nt on national TV from the debate stage.
It doesn't matter how much the moronic end of the GOP likes him...his candidacy won't survive that.
