Hillary has to do something theatrical at the debate to get at Trump, trying to pound him with facts alone will not work.

Trump is first and foremost a showman. The person who resonates most with the audience will not necessarily be the one with the best policy positions.

Sadly Trumps unpredictability works to his advantage here. All he has to do is fluster her once or goad her into making an ill timed attack and its all over. Fuck reality, perhaps no debate has ever been more about perception than this one.
