When Hillary debates Trump, what will be her strategy? Or, what would you prefer to see? [View all]

Will she be the same fact-based and "wonky" candidate we saw when debating Sanders... calmly pointing out the differences, explaining policy and goals, and letting the facts speak for themselves? (It really worked well for her and clearly voters could see her as being more presidential.)

Or will she go on the attack? Will she try to get Trump riled-up so that he loses his cool? She's already got him beat on the facts and the details, so will she do anything that flusters him so that he gets angry and looks (even more) foolish?

Go, Hillary! Beat Trump!
