Clinton executes debate plan: Annoy Donald Trump
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump made a gracious entrance for the first one-on-one presidential debate of his life, exchanging pleasantries with his opponent Monday and cordially referring to her as, “Secretary Clinton.”
Then she began needling him.
Hillary Clinton sprinkled her presentation on middle-class economic policies with an occasional nugget of mockery: About Trump owing his economic success to $14 million he got from his dad, and his habit of stiffing bills to his workers, his refusal to release his tax returns, and evidence he paid no taxes some years.
She drew out his inner grouch.
