Clinton Response to Trump Attack on Bill's Indiscretions During Debate

"Donald, I'm not a quitter. I never have been a quitter. Not in my public life and not in my private life. All these issues that you allude to were discussed and dealt with, in public, 20 years ago. I will not litigate them again in this election or in this forum."

"And, finally, Donald, I hope you won't be offended that I don't take marital advice from you!"

I'm sure she'll have something similar to say if he brings it up. That one's easy.

We don't want to hear her reiterating this-- once will be quite enough.

These are Americans who want answers to their questions about the most important issues facing our nation.

This is not the studio audience for the Jerry Springer show. If you want to engage in sleazy gossip I'm sure they'd love to have *you* as a guest."

Pivot to substantive issue like medical leave.

Don't insult Jerry Springer, as he is a big Clinton supporter.

Say something like, "this isn't a tabloid tv show", etc.

Note: I am not a christian but Hillary is sincerely one.

But, as we all know, Hillary has had lots of time to think this through, six ways past Sunday. She is a lot better prepared than we'll ever be. She's got this.

I strongly suspect that Hillary will leave her and Bill's religion out of the discussion unless Don-the-Con or one of his surrogates brings it up, in which case I'm certain she'll have an appropriately excellent response.

but anyone who wants to pass that along, or anyone from the campaign who reads it and wants to include it in any of her prep, feel free to use it without attribution.

All I want is a Hillary win.

Rosie's statement on the view about Donald being a poor moral compass would be a great kick - that's what set him into his irrational tirade against her back in 2007.

Whoa. That was beautiful. That is or could be ... Classic Hillary, on point with the most elegant wording a burn could have.

Edited b/c re-read op and realized may ne suggestion for HRC! I hope she says this or has said something like this.

... the Clinton campaign's demonstrated ability to come up with the right response to EVERYTHING, I'd hope that someone of them would read this post. Perfect!

No, I don't think Clinton comes up with all those one liners on the spot or by herself. I think she's got her mind on the higher road (thanks, Michelle).
