If Gennifer Flowers comes to the debate and Trump mentions her

I think Hilary should make a pitch for the "family values" crowd with something like this:

I know why you brought her here Donald, but let me tel you this:
Unlike you, I worked to keep my marriage intact, I worked with Bill
to stay married through some very hard times. I employed what I was taught as a child about forgiveness. I practiced the true family values that your party always pays lip service to.
So yes, I aknowledge Gennifer no ill will, wish her the best and pray that this 3rd marriage of yours is
lasting.

totally went against Bill Clinton after the discussion about oil slicks (or should I say oral sex). My grandmother asked my wife and me about why were they talking about oil slicks. We had a tough time concealing our laughter.

I wonder how she would feel with Donald Trump discussing anal sex on national radio.

Remember, they've hidden her from the media since her bullshit plaigerized RNC speech.

It'll be very effective I think

...then HRC should say, "I'm one of millions of women whose husbands were unfaithful. You're laughing at our pain and pouring salt in our wounds."

HRC shouldn't criticize Trump for having two divorces. So do lots of people.

It's a presidential debate; it's no place for such ridiculous stunts. But ignoring it, or by acknowledging FLowers' presence with a pleasant nod or comment when/if it comes up in the debate discussion, she maintains her dignity and makes Trump look absurd.

This is high school shit. Participating would give it validity and she would make herself part of the circus. I hope she just ignores it or chuckles at the absurdity.

The best thing Hillary could do is ignore her. Trump WANTS Hillary to mention Flowers. If Hillary ignores her, Trump loses that gambit.

She could mention that everyone is different in the way they handle troubles in their marriage.

Some folks choose to honor their marriage vows, work things out and make things work.

For others, it's just easier to go out and get a new spouse.

By inviting Flowers, Donald just proves what a lowlife scumbag he truly is. This is a perfect case of blaming the woman for her husband's infidelity. It will hurt him big time with women voters, a demographic where he polls terribly. I hope Hillary doesn't take the bait, and let this blow up in Don's face.
