Lowering herself to Trump's level at any point would be a terrible mistake. That's probably her biggest challenge -- how to answer him strongly while always appearing presidential.

No matter how well she does, we can be sure that many in the media will try to spin dishonest equalizations to their audiences.

And just sticks to the major issues. I'm sure she will stay on topic and not go for trash talk.

If she chooses to. I just don't agree with that strategy. And I would think most Americans would want them to talk about jobs or the economy instead of about someone's hand size.

...and as the song says, it's a small, small world."

But I'm not on the zinger committee (and if I was, it would be about the nuclear triad).

would really throw him off, I bet, but I think it needs to be relevant, like on his relationship with the Russians, why Manafort had to resign, etc.

She will have some good responses. But will let him swing and miss first.

The media has a heart attack every time she makes a factual critique of Trump. They'd probably burn her at the state if she wounded his pride.

Because that worked so well for Marco Rubio.

She shouldn't sink to that level. Attacking him for racism is warranted. Acting like a 12 year old is beneath someone running as the alternative to trump. Don't stoop to his level.
