When the Donald said if he was president he would lock up Hillary, I wish Hillary had said:

[Bill USA]

[font size="+1"] "That's all we need, an insecure child-man as a dictator, tearing up our Constitution."[/font]


.... Another Caligula (little boots)...


I think Hillary should take off the gloves with the Donald and just state matter of factly his total lack of confidence is what drives his transparent attempts to appear 'strong' and 'manly'. ..."In other words Donald, you're faking it."

This is relevant, because this is definitely NOT who you want getting the 'nuclear codes'.

This would cause the Donald to go berzerk on tv (in the next debate).

1. Hillary did the right thing by just smiling

She let it just hang there and the media picked it up and is hitting Trump every day. Hillary went high when he went low

[Cha]

3. I totally agree with you, awake. So does the President.

President Obama
✔ ?@POTUS
Just like Michelle says, when they go low, we go high. @HillaryClinton went high and showed why she'll be a POTUS for all Americans.

4. Thanks I had not seen that

[ProudProgressiveNow]

5. I am sure she played a mini chess game...

in her mind.... he would answer.. blaa blaa... she would reply... he would bla... blah.. until he went BELOW the gutter....

As you said, she did the right thing.

[Bill USA]

6. did she 'blow it' when she said: the Donald "lives in an alternative reality"?

8. No,

I thought that was a great response..... hard for him to respond to that... I am sure she gamed out that comeback......

.. as in ... How can/will he respond?

[Bill USA]

12. So she can come back at his ridiculous, ignorant comments then. IT's not a total ban then?

[ProudProgressiveNow]

13. As long as she picks her spots... nt

[Bill USA]

15. which is all that I am saying.

[Bill USA]

9. If she had said that, he would have gone berzerk. .. Donald's Demise.

He would have had trouble controlling himself to not say something really ignorant and to come back with something reasonably rational. He might very well have lost his battle with his childish self and said something extraordinarily crass - hysterical attack on Hillary - and very unpresidential.

[bettyellen]

19. Yet she's been getting him to do all that without any petty insults.

[TexasProgresive]

2. I think the winning strategy is, "When they go low, we go high."

Sec. Clinton is about winning hearts not zingers. Although she has made a few wordless zingers in the debates by smiling and laughing at the worst the Rump can shat out at her.

[Lunabell]

7. Thanking our lovely FLOTUS for this advice.

Amazing lady. Love Michelle Obama and starting to feel warmly about Hillary.

[GoCubsGo]

11. She reminds me a little bit of a cat who toys with a bug before killing it.

Except that she's getting the bug to pull off its own wings and legs after she swats it.

[bettyellen]

10. Nope. Women don't get away with talking smack like that.

I know you probably meant well, but she knows what she is doing. And that means letting her surrogates say shit like that.

[Bill USA]

14. what you don't realize is that an intelligent assessment of the Donald's behavior and comments

would be received quite differently than that which was given to Donald's outrageous, baseless, ass-hole type comments. When he said "if I were president you'd be in jail" >> not an exact quote -- that is clearly ignorant, childish, boorish, and not at all reality based (the Director of the FBI, counselled by the FBI attorney's said there was not a case for indicting her). She is capable of making a comment/criticism of something he has said, without showing anger, but delivering it with level headed equanimity..

I think given the number of unanswered outrageous, baseless charges Trump made against her, people would recognize she was right to make an assessment of his behavior/speech, that it shows Donald's predilection for totalitarian solutions. I think people would feel she was well within her rights to make an assessment of the Donald's behavior (how many interruptions did he make?) and accusations.

Note I am not advocating a litany of comments like this, from Hillary.

No, I don't think people would see her responding to his bullshit, as inappropriate at all. I think most would applaud her for it.

[bettyellen]

16. A woman calling ANY man "an insecure man-child" would be horrible. Name calling is not an answer.

Men can get away with this shit, a woman is ALWAYS held to a different standard and she is already outside that.
Trust us woman who has worked in the trenches for thirty years. You guys have no clue how many times we've hit those land mines- what you're suggesting would be to have her start a name calling contest. Nope, nope and no fucking way. Dumb idea.

[Bill USA]

17. persuasion by derision huh? What compelling logic your last two sentences display & such erudition!

She would be saying what is obvious to most people.

[bettyellen]

18. See how well it's going over- LOL. You didn't think this through.

Also- you just "derided" me.
I get it- it's much harder to take coming from a woman.
I know how it works. So does Hillary. That's why she's been walking on a razors edge this whole time. Most men are totally unaware of it, but women talk about how well she is doing it all the time.

[Bill USA]

20. It's not going over with you. Do you count for more than one person. A sample size of 1 is not much

much of a survey.

Nice having a free discussion of ideas with you. So glad you are not one of those persons who think there is only one position on an issue and that they have it. LOL!
