Clinton pulled back on a kill shot for a reason: Keep Trump on the ticket

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/clinton-pulled-back-kill-shot-145130698.html

Trump, who himself faced a rape allegation from ex-wife Ivana Trump and now faces one from a woman who was 13-years old at the time the alleged act occurred (Trump has repeatedly denied the allegations) argues that Hillary Clinton is worse than he is because she attempted to smear and intimidate Bill Clinton's accusers, though the evidence for that smearing and intimidation is thin to nonexistent.

Trump also spent the debate wandering around the stage and regularly crowding Clinton's space and glowering over her shoulder like a stalker. When asked by a Muslim-American in the audience how he would deal with "Islamophobia," Trump repeated the debunked claim that witnesses saw "bombs all over the apartment" of the San Bernardino terrorists and failed to report it. There is no evidence that anything like this ever took place.

potential Publican cross-over voters. She never deflected any of tRump's charges by pointing out the blame any Publican actually bore.

The appearance of a series of highly-produced Publican-for-Hillary ads the very next day made the strategy clear.
