In the debates Hillary is a worst case scenario match up for Trump


Trump is a bully and a vile sexist and there is nothing better for making his type look weak and pitiful than putting him up against a very strong, intelligent woman in a head to head debate. His sexist antics went over great in the GOP circus but on a National stage with rational people watching and tuned in, he will be walking into the perfect storm. It could end up a complete and utter disaster for him. His sexist antics will create backlash, boos and he will look like a fucking piece of shit up there. I was a Sanders supporter and Sanders would have squashed him like a bug but I think Hillary is a much more difficult match-up for someone who is a sexist, racist pig.

Trump is a cruise ship insult comic.

He will be destroyed, and likely back out after the first debate and essentially take a knee in the race.

one of the few times what he said didn't go over well was when he called Carly Fiorina ugly.

in that kind of scenario. Fiorina looked a little meek when she shot back at him, almost like her feelings were hurt and when he said she was beautiful she didn't say anything when she could have done a knock out blow. Hillary would not let it stop there, she would continue to beat him down by saying he wasn't being sincere and perhaps ask him something like, "Does demoralizing women give you some kind of sick pleasure?" Hillary won't show any mercy or look at all impacted by his childishness. She is a much stronger person than Fiorina and I think it will show. She is the type of strong women who can put a sexist in his place naturally because she is simply built strong.

No doubt he won't have nearly enough knowledge to rationally answer or rebut on the issues. He will just go off on a blustering riff.

In 2008, I found it tough to watch her debate Obama because for all of his strengths, she was a much better debater than he was back then. Then in July or August of 2008 she did an interview on one of the talk shows as a surrogate for Obama and I recall thinking "wow, it's great to have her on our side now."

Just about any Democrat could wipe the floor with Trump but I don't think anyone is better than Hillary to do that. Except maybe Elizabeth Warren, because she really knows how to get under his skin.
