I posted this suggestion prior to the first debate, in anticipation of a Donald Trump attack on Hillary about the past issues concerning Bill Clinton.
First off, Bill didn't get away with anything. He was impeached after lengthy interrogations. He was humiliated in public. All the accusations were adjudicated. Hillary doesn't need to rehash that, defend that, or relive that.
Here's my suggested response for Hillary when that topic comes up tonight.
"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!"

(92,060 posts)right back at them is the way to go with something like this:
"Mr. Trump, you are running for President, and throughout this campaign you have made racist and sexist remarks as part of that campaign. It is disgraceful, an unworthy of someone wanting to be President."
Then she should proceed to explain why she is running for President, and what she will do

Then hrc Clinton can bring it back to how they've worked on their relationship and succeeded
Doing this respects the Juanita and brings out the fact this is already ON RECORD
