Hillary really needs to not fall into the Diane Chambers trap.

If she gets caught up in the 'debate' as traditionally defined...it could be as disastrous for her as it was for Jeb Bush. Though Trump will not be able to attack Hillary the way he did Jeb...there will be still be some similarities in how he baits her into winning 'the issues' while capitalizing on the way she comes across in doing so. He will play the victim here.

The Jeb route of appealing to logic will make her look like Diane Chambers. The Rubio route of slinging mud won't work cause Trump is better at that than her (or anybody else). I think her best approach would be to mirror Kasich. Be the adult in the room and stay humble. It's certainly not her forte....but it's the only way she can approach this with some damage control in mind. Can she be disciplined enough to not attack Trump intellectually? He will set the bait. He will provide multiple opportunities. He will purposely say outrageously stupid things. He will tempt her to call him stupid....and if she calls him stupid she will be calling the viewers at home stupid. That will be Trump's goal.

Can she help herself? I couldn't lol.
