WASHINGTON: Hillary Clinton has as much experience as any Democrat in debating Donald Trump. The 2016 campaign, when she was her party’s nominee, included three of the six general-election debates Trump has participated in. Those faceoffs went a long way toward shaping the country’s vision of what he would be like as president. Trump, of course, went on to win the 2016 election – an outcome that still haunts Democrats.
“The consensus was that I won all three debates and I was well prepared,” Clinton said when asked about her old debate coach, Karen Dunn, who is now helping Kamala Harris.
“He (Trump) doesn’t answer the questions. He doesn’t come with any specifics,” Clinton said on debating Trump.
When asked if she’s spoken to Harris on how to approach the debate, Clinton said, “She should not be baited. She should bait him. He can be rattled. He doesn’t know how to respond to substantive, direct attacks. The more he can be exposed – he’s not a strong leader. He’s not a stable leader – the more people will have doubts about him. And that’s what this debate is meant to do.” nyt
