"Your husband cheated on you, Secretary Clinton. Explain that, please."

I mean, there is no 'rung' on that topic with which to climb. Where do you go from the starting point?

Trump, Jr. said he was proud of his father for showing restraint on this, but it's a losing subject to bring up.

My mom refers to this as the cat having verbal diaherria because it happens at random when the cat gets annoyed.

Trump has the same problem. He randomly says stupid things whenever he gets annoyed (such as being handily bested in a debate by a woman).

Okay let me fix that for myself.

He randomly says things that are even more stupid that the stupid things he regularly says.

It's always the woman's fault, you know - her husband wouldn't have cheated on her if she'd been an adequate wife. And on top of that, Hillary had the nerve to say mean things about the other women!

But it's perfectly ok for men to cat around and then dump their wives for someone younger and more attractive - something that Bill C. did not do, but that Trump and his minions Giuliani and Gingrich did.

I can't think why Trump would want to go there. But please proceed.

The answer is yes.

And I've been asked things like:

"Can a judge travel faster than the speed of light?"

The answer remains yes - because the determination of whether the judge did travel faster than the speed of light is up to the court to decide.

The first thing a conversational bully seeks to do is to pull you down to their level, and have it out there.

It is certain that she has a carefully scripted reply which does not sound like "I'm rubber you're glue" because then it is simply accusation-trading.

I would imagine she is well prepared to deliver that reply, and take the higher ground.

Is Bill running for president? Does any of it have anything to do with Hillary being president? Of course not.

So when and if Donald goes there, best way for Hillary to handle it is to not engage and get in the gutter with him. Simply move on as she did in the first debate.

I actually want Drumpf to go there and show his ass.

I think Donald is constantly reality testing to see what he can get away with it is like any criminal who constantly breaks the law because he has nothing to lose.
