It's good that Hillary is prepping for debates, and taking them seriously.

What I can't figure out is why they are leaking their debate strategies to the press. I like the idea of trying to rattle Trump into a meltdown, but I don't like the idea of telling the NYT what points they are planning to bring up in order to rattle him.

Is it just inevitable that everything is going to leak to the press these days? Can't they get like 5 or 10 loyal people to work on the debate prep and have them all agree not to tell the media, so that Trump won't know their playbook beforehand?

...it could be psyops to get the Trumpkins thinking "zig", when Clinton plans to "zag".

Trump is stupid enough to fall for that and then prepare answers for questions/accusations that will never be made.

Trump isn't doing any real prep, in comparison.
