The third and final presidential debate is next Wednesday evening. I have some serious advice for Hillary Clinton, which could ensure a win on November 8th; pretend Trump is not in attendance.
Hillary must ignore his attacks, answer the questions intelligently, and refuse to lower herself to his level. She must show strength, courage, and force him to become completely unhinged. Hillary must remember that “it’s never smart to wrestle with a pig; you get dirty, and the pig likes it.”
She knows that she is much more intelligent that Trump, and playing his game would only be harmful. Hillary already demonstrated to the American people that she can stand toe to toe with him in the second debate, and no longer needs to prove that fact.
We know Trump’s principle attack will be on Bill Clinton. After nearly two weeks of revelations that he sexually abused women, Trump will attempt to make the issue all about the future “First Gentleman.” Trump is a bully; and nothing more. We’ve heard it at his rallies when he promotes anger, hatred, and even violence. Bullies want attention, and if he can’t instigate a fight, he will become frustrated and reveal his extremely weak temperament.
I sincerely hope she, or someone close to her campaign reads this; it’s the truth and I know I’m right. The one thing we know is that Russian hacking of Podesta’s e-mails will be the second focus of Trump’s tirades. So far, they have proven to be nothing more than ‘business as usual’ in politics. Hillary must also ignore any inference by Trump that they are damning in any way, and drop the subject.
This debate could be a defining moment in this historically long campaign season. If Hillary is ‘presidential,’ and Trump is Trump, this could be the final blow to his ambitions. If she falls into his trap, the election could once again be in doubt. This is the strangest and most despicable campaign season in history. For our nation’s future, I hope Hillary wins, and I will never stop telling the truth until it’s over. That said, I am fed up with writing about all the horrible things which have occurred in the last 16 months. I have not been proud of my country and disgusted with our nation’s politicians. The candidates have displayed poor judgment, racism, bigotry, homophobia, Islamophobia, and hypocrisy. The right wing has proven that it has no interest in the betterment of the lives of the majority of Americans. Supporting Trump is a crime against our nation’s people. If he is the standard bearer of the Republican Party, we don’t need them.
Save our country by spreading the truth; please re-post. Thank you.
