How Hillary Clinton found her stride on gender
She did smile a lot last night--not forced. I think she wanted to laugh out loud at Donald and his sniffling idiot comments!!

New York (CNN) After 30 years in the spotlight, Hillary Clinton finally found the balance on gender that has bedeviled her throughout her career during the debate at Hofstra Monday night.
Demonstrate power, command of the issues and the ability to shred your opponent -- all while seeming (just) likeable enough.
Monday night's faceoff with Donald Trump could have been heralded as another historic first for women. But Clinton made no mention of a glass ceiling. There was no self-congratulatory nod to the fact that she was the first female nominee of a major party to take that stage before as many as 100 million people.
She wore red, a power color, but with a feminine cut that looked anything but severe. She was smooth and measured; flicking subtly to her gender with a quick mention of granddaughter Charlotte right off the top, but then didn't dwell on it.
She didn't lecture. She smiled (a lot) — even as he slid into his role of interrupter-in-chief.

Clearly Trump isn't afraid to double down on his past comments about women, even when his advisers have tried to steer him toward more substantive policy issues.
And Clinton is going to let that play out.
