Clinton’s going to beat Trump regardless, but I sure wouldn’t mind her getting exposed for the craven politician she is. There are still some people in the world who actually think she’s honest and principled and that it’s all a right wing conspiracy to discredit her. These people intellectually belong more in Trump’s camp than Clinton’s. ---

> [@adaher](#): > > I hope Clinton attacks Trump on the wall, given that she voted for a border wall in 2006. She has already explained her position in one of the debates with Sanders. It is not like Clinton believes that people should just be able to walk across the U.S. - Mexican border freely with no security: [Hillary Clinton: We Have Secured The Border, Now Let's Get on With Immigration Reform | Video | RealClearPolitics](http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/03/09/hillary_clinton_we_have_secured_the_border_now_lets_get_on_with_immigration_reform.html) > [@](#): > > “We have a secure border,” she urged. “There’s no need for this rhetoric and demagoguery that still is carried out on the Republican side.

You know, it is just fantasy… If [Donald Trump] cared to know anything about what the members of Congress, like [Sen. Sanders] and I have done… Where it was neccesary we did support some fencing,” she explained. ---

It’ll be interesting. . . I’m sure he’ll call her a liar; the only question is “How many times?” And think the biggest unknown is how Hillary will respond to Trump. That’s really the wild card. She’ll want to appear strong without “sinking to his level.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-vs-clinton-debate/749994.md?page=2)
