Trump should say the truth. Truth will shine a burning light on this criminal cockroach.

If she makes it that blatant that she’s crooked, then he could say “See, that’s why I call you crooked” :)

I’d call her Mrs. Clinton. That’ll irk her.

No. He should not do any name calling. Just call her “my opponent” and stick with all of the facts. Let the people decide.

I agree. I think a good mential crutch for him would be to think, before each answer, “I am the president, and what I say has to work for all Americans.”

I don’t think he will. I think she’ll sling insults and he’ll simply talk policy.

I answered that survey and said no to that question. My advice to him was: No personal attacks (no matter how deserved) and don’t make yourself look like you have a hair trigger.

I think Trump can handle himself just fine.
If he would have listened to everyone else he would have ended in a tie for dead last with Kasich and Graham.

NO, he should insinuate and use the tacit approach - people will read between the lines.

It isnt necessary.

This inst the intra-party show of the past spring/fall.

This is where you play it sharp, cool, and straight.

Prove that she is crooked during the debates. No need to use the word.

This is where Donald really needs to practice - he needs a real command of the facts and be like a machine gun. A Trey Gowdy or Ted Cruz debate style would crush the hildabeast.

No. It destroys all the gains he’s made in the past month. And it don’t believe that is being too cautious. It’s being smart. He’s won this thing. He needs to go the winner route now. Polite but firm and tough.

This is the answer. Stay presidential and professional and never show anger during a debate. Knowledge and truth are very powerful flaming arrows to liars and deceivers when it reveals them for the snakes they are.

NO!

She is a TARGET RICH environment.

No accomplishments in 35 years EXCEPT personal enrichment
Failure as Secretary of State
Washington Insider who will never change
Will say anything to get elected

If he gets personal she will become sympathetic.

What disturbs me is that as soon as she has a ####ing pulse again, she stabilizes or gains a little in the polls.

We have a country full of ###holes and all of us know there’s the tiny chance that 50 percent are @@@holes.

I’ll be glad when this whole ####ing thing is over and Trump is announced the winner.

Donald Trump should not do any name calling on the debate stage. He can lay out all of the facts about the Clinton Foundation, etc., explaining why she is crooked, and let the voters come to the conclusion that she is “Crooked Hillary.”

< but really savage her on immigration, terrorism, emails, dishonesty and corruption at every opportunity

With specific facts. I have seen debates where the debate was lost simply because they had really not done their homework and spoke in generalities. Now if he mentioned that military was told to stand down several times by Clinton on the date of the attack and names the officers who she gave the commands to and the states that he contacted these officers to verify this information and relates what thy told him....she's toast.

< “Trump should bring up Bill’s affair’s.” But that leaves the door open for her to bring up his. Probably shouldn’t do it.

Yep don't throw stones in glass houses. It will make you look very bad
