I seem to recall late night shows being positive about Clinton keeping her cool for an 11+ hour(which is almost 2x as long as Bill's BJ hearing BTW) witchhunt.
Sure, but a congressional hearing isn't the same thing as a debate, and the hearing actually was a waste of her time. Showing up to a debate and then acting like she doesn't want to be there is just going to make her look like an rear end in a top hat instead.

Somebody posted earlier in the thread that the most effective way to troll Trump would be for Hillary and DNC talking heads to start referring to him as a millionaire instead of a billionaire every time they are in front of a camera. I'm still torn on whether or not that would be more offensive to him than referring to his tiny hands, though.

Oh it would work. Trump's entire life is based off of pretending to be very rich and influential(to others and himself), despite being directly contradicted by his faults(mainly that he's incredibly cheap* and a lovely businessman).

If someone had concrete proof that he wasn't actually the rich socialite he pretends to be he would loving explode.

EDIT: And I don't mean normal CEO "lay off everyone because we did badly once and are still making tons of money" cheap, I mean "cashed a check for 13 cents" cheap. His one business strategy is "Tell people you're going to pay them then don't", and he only gets away with it because, again, he pretends to be rich and successful.

If you were the RNC right now what do you think would be a better move at this point:

1) Give Republican politicians/candidates the go-ahead to endorse or disavow Trump (whichever would play better with their supporters)
2) Officially disavow Trump and and focus all efforts on downticket races
3) Try to push Trump to drop out and replace him with a more palatable choice
4) Continue standing behind Trump and trying to salvage his campaign
5) Something else

He's actively retaliated against 2, 3 can't happen because Trump will absolutely not admit defeat, 4 is failing, and 1 will split the base no matter what they do.
