Subtle but Very Smart Moment from Hillary Tonight

[Doctor Jack]

About 10 minutes in, after the moderators (if you call them that) asked about Trump's sexual assault tape and Trump went on a 2 minute rant about Bill Clinton and the women that he brought with him tonight. Her brilliant counter-attack was to not respond at all. So many people around the internet, including here said "she needs to say this when he brings up Bill" or "here is what she must say" but the total lack of any response was drastically more effective. She immediately went right into how the video is horrifying and the groups that Trump demeans for his own gains.

She is so good at dealing with bullies and assholes. I can see why Obama asked her to be Secretary of State.

1. Agree.

Bill isn't running for President. Hillary is. I'm glad she pointed out that under Bill we went from a deficit to a surplus. And that real incomes went up. That's all she needed to say.

I was appalled by Trump's behavior, in which he never stated a policy proposal and turned every question into crazy run-on sentences & attacks. The guy is miserable, has complete disdain others. A bullying racist sexist jerk. Who would be horrendous for the country because underneath all his bluster he's only offering miserable failed right wing 'solutions' from twenty years ago.

I'll watch the last debate October 19 and then hope to never listen to him again unless it's a concession speech.

3. I will probably watch the debates again after Hillary wins

It will be like watching footage from the Normandy Landings. Probably very nerve-wracking for someone in 1944 to watch but today we can see such things as being the beginning of the victory in Europe.

2. Yep, this was the last and nastiest weapon he had

and it bounced of like it was a nerf ball. He can continue to slime her, but he's out of any serious material

4. And my guess would be that there's more tapes

of him bragging about assaulting women, and they will surface soon.

It's so weird.

The worst thing of all - his proposal to lower the top rate from 35% to 15%, which would blow up the deficit - barely gets any coverage. But I hope most voters understand how horrendous that would be in terms of transferring wealth only to the top 1%!

6. Oh, I bet the stuff they haven't relaesed is much worse

KKK level racism

5. Exactly she's ahead and avoided taking his bait.

His only chance is to drag her into the gutter, and she simply needs to look poised and presidential and give substantive answers on policy, which she did.

He came across as unstable and was swinging wildly hoping something would land, but most of it was his typical fact-free garbage.

7. These so called debates are a farce.

A lying clown gets to rant largely unchallenged even when beyond extreme.

Threatening to imprison his opponent and throwing her in jail? Judge and jury, eh?

He is a moron.
