    Now, in all fairness to Secretary Clinton -- yes, is that OK? Good. I want you to be very happy. It's very important to me.​

    What he should have done was address her casually, and perhaps even a trifle dismissively, as Hillary, after which an exchange along the following lines would ideally have ensued:

    Hillary: Really, Mr. Trump, I think I've earned a little more respect than to be addressed so informally in such a formal setting.

    Trump: By all means, I should treat you will all the respect you've earned - speaking of which, Crooked Hillary, when I'm President, job one for my AG will be to secure criminal indictments and convictions of you, Obama and your worthless husband. Now getting back to trade policy [...]​

    Delivered with calm assurance, rock-steady eye contact, and not a care in the world for her reaction, it would surely have rattled her; and with any luck, before the next scheduled debate, she'd be in a coma or assuming Earth temperature.

    And what the hell's up with that promise at the end to support her if she wins? Why in hell would any American worthy of the name support that Stalinist witch under any circumstances?

    OK, so yesterday he ended up doing something close to what I suggested - kind of a spur of the moment deal, might have had more effect had he taken care to set it up. Regardless, he needs to find a way reiterate it early on in the final debate.
