1. Refusing to shake his hand would be petty.

She's better than that.

[BlueStreak]

4. I agree. She should come out, shake his hand while ...

wearing latex gloves, because you don't know what those hands have been grabbing, and then put a big can of pepper spray on her podium, just to be safe.

[Raine]

12. Yup, no telling where those hands have been. nt

[Lifelong Protester]

30. I like your style!

[vlyons]

7. Refusing to shake is hand is uncharitable

As a Buddhist, I ask myself, "What would the Dalai Lama do?" Then I let that be my guide.

[Binkie The Clown]

2. Yes. She must show herself to be the civilized one, and not act like a petulant child.

That's Trumps role in the campaign.

[radical noodle]

3. She always needs to take the high road n/t

[cwydro]

5. Of course. But please call her by her title.

Thanks.

[indie_voter]

6. Yes. They go low. We go high. (nm)

[kerouac2]

8. Would show her diplomacy and self control...

before handing him his head and showing him the door...

[irisblue]

10. Aw hell no. A hand shake is a show of respect

In fact hell no cubed.

[underpants]

11. Again?

[jiminvegas]

13. She shouldn't shake his hand or respond to him

He doesn't deserve to be on the stage with her.

[Doodley]

14. She should shake hands, then look at the palm of her hand,

grimace with shock and disgust, and ask Trump if he wiped away his sniffles with his hand.

[Chemisse]

21. Or smile graciously as she douses her hands with sanitizer.

[Doodley]

22. LOL!

[MADem]

15. Yes, she is a professional, she's recently come off a strong course of antibiotics, and I'll

bet Huma will be guarding a purse that has some sani-wipes next to the hot sauce!

After all, that's a rather small hand--how many germs can there be on that little thing? She should initiate the handshake (take control) as she did so expertly last time, and, if she wants to be cheeky, give him the "two handed shake" and cover his hand with her other hand (one-upmanship) --now that would make me smile!

[onehandle]

16. Yes, but immediately afterwards she should pull out some Purell and clean her hands. nt

[Squinch]

17. SECRETARY Clinton should, yes.

[book_worm]

18. Of course she would or do you want her not shaking hands to be the story?

[underthematrix]

19. I don't think Trump will shake Sec Clinton's hand but I seriously doubt she will

go petty and initiate the diss. Afterall her presidential campaign has been stellar. She's going to act like the President-Elect no matter what he does or says. It's a town hall so both HRC's supporters and Trump's will be able to ask questions. I assume the ones from Trump's crowd will be disrespectful and inappropriate and have nothing to do with policy.

[liberalmuse]

20. I think she should do this instead...

[2theleft]

23. I was just going to post that pic...

Protect the P!!! Mandatory when in his presence...

[liberalmuse]

28. Weird body language from the women.

They may be subconsciously creeped out by his vulgarity and I don't blame them.

I'm a bit nervous for Hillary only because Trump is so totally off the rails. Not many people are used to dealing with that type of personality. She'll be fine, but I hate to see her or anyone subjected to this creep.

[complain jane]

24. With a glove on, yes.

[0rganism]

25. shaking his hand is pretty much required, latex glove is optional

not saying she shouldn't take appropriate precautions, might want to keep him at arm's length and away from her ... tic tacs.

[GulfCoast66]

26. Of course.

But from a distance and discreetly keeping her left hand in front of her...mid-region.

[deathrind]

27. Yes...

...and right after she should pull out a small bottle of hand sanitizer from her pocket and wash her hands...in front of everyone.

[mentalsolstice]

29. I think she should shake and shimmy!

[lpbk2713]

31. She should count her fingers after she does.

Don't trust him for a moment.

[Lifelong Protester]

32. If he pops some Tic Tacs

she should run like hell.....

[BlueStreak]

33. That would be very clever psych ops

if she took out some tic-tacs several times during the debate. She wouldn't have to say a word. The media goofs obsess on stuff like that. They would be talking about the tic-tacs for the next 3 days, 24 hours a day.

And each time they did that, they would play that Trump video again.

[Lifelong Protester]

34. I like it, I never thought of HER popping the TicTacs

but that would be even better.

[SeattleVet]

35. Shake with the right hand, while offering TicTacs with the left.

Just smile and say, "TicTac?" while flipping the lid open.

[Lifelong Protester]

40. Great idea!

[Warren DeMontague]

36. Yes, while deliberately keeping a good zone of personal space away from the guy.

Once they get going there is nothing wrong with asking him "So, how was your week, Donald?", though.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

37. Just keep him from putting his arm around her again

like he did at the first debate.

[milestogo]

38. If she does, she should wear a latex glove.

[csziggy]

41. Rather than use hand sanitizer AFTER Sec. Clinton shakes hands with Trump

She should put a big glob of it on her hand just before she goes out as prophylactic against Trump slime.

That way Trump gets a big glob of some unknown (to him) substance on his hand when he shakes her hand. As germophobic as Trump is reputed to be he will react and react badly.

[melman]

42. Yes

If she doesn't, that becomes the story. That would be a bad move.
