Should
Hillary face-off with Trump on the Presidential Campaign Stage, she will be
confronting the preeminent school yard bully of modern times. He will not only
attack Secretary Clinton on her professional record, but will go after her
husband, President Clinton’s official and personal life. He will stop at
nothing to unravel her.
I understand
that Hillary is a strong and tenacious woman and politician whose international
experience includes dealings with those far more daunting and wily than the
likes of tough guy Trump.
Having had
experience with bullies as a child myself, a few tactics of my own come to
mind. Stare him in the eye and don’t flinch. Never back pedal or let him put
you on the defensive. Let his name-calling roll off your back as you continue
to stare him down. Don’t respond in kind to his accusations and slanderous
attacks—be prepared, no “Oh yeah, says who? Oh yeah?” Keep your focus on his
face and smile. He may shove you first. Then, let him have it. Throw your best
punch right between the eyes (metaphor- ically speaking, of course).
I gave this
advice to my son when he was the victim of a bully in junior high school. He threw
one decisive punch (and it was physical, for being underage he could not be
prosecuted for assault)) which sent his nemesis flying. And my son was never
bullied again.
Of course Hillary could always tell Trump—You’ve made a big mistake, Mr. Trump. This is one
woman you can’t intimidate or divorce.
