More on debating a chimp on stage with a machine gun

This is a continuation of the post I did yesterday,

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028132858

But the analogy is so appropriate, that I believe Hillary must be extremely careful, and be on her toes during every second of those 90 minutes.

Donald Trump is so unpredictable, that even he himself doesn't know what he will say or do next. And what that means is that it's almost impossible for Hillary to rehearse, or prep for the reality of being on stage with him.

We all know that Hillary is smart, well-informed and as prepared to do the job of POTUS as well as anyone has ever been. But none of that will help her on a debate stage where her opponent is capable of, literally, anything.

So what is that "anything?" Go figure. He can make up any lie that pops into his head, he can step toward her in a threatening manner, he can storm off the stage and say the whole thing is a "setup," he can state as a "fact" that every word out of her mouth is a lie. Who knows what could come out of his orange face?

So here's my question. If you were one of Hillary's coaches, what would you be doing to prepare her?
