She highlighted Trump&#8217;s \u2063promises during past debates, such as his commitment to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. \u2062Wade, contrasting this with \u200bBiden&#8217;s\u200c approach to discussing\u200d rights and social\u200c issues.

Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPay attention to how the candidates talk about people, not just policies,\u201d Clinton wrote. \u201cIn my third debate with Mr. Trump, he promised to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. I responded that this would have real consequences for real women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She contrasted Biden\u2019s calm demeanor with Trump\u2019s writing: \u201cListen to how sincerely [Biden] talks about women\u2019s rights, the struggles of working families, opportunities for people of color and the courage of Ukrainian men and women risking their lives for democracy. Mr. Trump can\u2019t do that because he cares only about himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Focusing on the fundamentals<\/h2>\n<p>While CNN has vowed to cut the microphones of either candidate who interrupts the other, in the nature of debates, interruptions are still likely. Clinton advised viewers to \u201csee through the bluster and focus on the fundamentals at stake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She pointed to Trump\u2019s refusal to state whether he would accept the results of the 2016 election when he said \u201cI\u2019ll keep you in suspense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is not the way our democracy works,\u201d Clinton responded. \u201cLet\u2019s be clear about what he\u2019s saying and what that means.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said that was a precursor to Trump\u2019s refusal to accept the result of the 2020 election and the resulting insurrection attempt at the Capitol. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis time, expect Mr. Trump to blame Mr. Biden for inflation but avoid answering questions about his own economic plans. He has to deflect or lie because his proposals \u2014 tax cuts for the superrich, gutting the Affordable Care Act, deporting millions of workers and slapping across-the-board tariffs on everyday goods \u2014 would exacerbate inflation, raise costs for American households and cause a recession,\u201d Clinton wrote, noting that the Wall Street\u2019s Moody Analytics predicted the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/money\/2024\/06\/20\/biden-vs-trump-economy\/74077301007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>increased<\/a> costs for people under Trump\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n<h2>Picking between \u2018chaos or competence\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWhen you see these two men side by side, think about the real choice in this election,\u201d Clinton said. \u201cIt\u2019s between chaos and competence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She laid out problems plaguing Trump\u2019s campaign this time around, including his being convicted of 34 felonies and being found liable for sexual assault and financial fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton also addressed age concerns surrounding Biden, noting that Trump is just three years younger than the president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy contrast, Mr. Biden is a wise and decent man who is fighting hard for working families,\u201d Clinton wrote. \u201cYes, he\u2019s 81. That\u2019s just three years older than Mr. Trump. And his lifetime of service and experience helps him get things done that make our country stronger and all of our lives better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>She wrote that she believes, based on her understanding, that the election should be an \u201ceasy choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis election is between a convicted criminal out for revenge and a president who delivers results for the American people,\u201d Clinton wrote. \u201cNo matter what happens in the debate, that\u2019s an easy choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shared her insights on the upcoming debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, set for Thursday on CNN.
