I think the smart move for Hillary tonight is to not reference the latest Trump blunder.

Wall to Wall Trump "the sexual predator" coverage today, everyone knows about it, and the talking heads are doing there job getting it out there. He is severely damaged by this, there are calls for him to step down even from the Repub side.
She does not need to go there, she can be seen as rising above it, presidential if you will.
My two cents.

It's reportedly the 1st question, and Hillary goes first. Even if that changes, it WILL be in the lineup, and she WILL have to address it brutally. And she will.

has been based on a platform of racism and sexism

That is not worthy of someone running for President of the United Stated

I will be a President for all people, and work to unite people, not divide them

Hillary should directly call him out and tell him to his face what a rapey piece of subhuman slime he is. Politely, of course.

She's very good at laying traps for him to fall into.

I'm sure that someone in the audience will bring it up first. She can simply cite it as another sign of his unfitness for office.

He'll take it from there.
