Assuming she gets one, she should use 1/2 of it to talk about herself. But she should use the other half of it to warn people that they will hear a flood of lies from Trump. That she won't have time to point out all the lies during the debate. But that her staff will be on social media pointing out Trumps lies in real time.
She should have an ARMY of fact checkers from her side flooding social media with truth in real time.

During the debate his lies should be exposed then and there, that is where they would have the greatest effect, and do the most damage. If you recall during the Romeny, President Obama debate when Romney was fact-checked, it was devastating to him. After the fact doesn't have the impact of realtime

Point out how corporations are siphoning wealth and opportunity away from all Americans, particularly the middle class. Less policy, more anger.
