There is a skit from the old Smothers Brothers variety show that I still remember, a contest of two all time greats. It was short. Bobby Fisher... pawn to king's 4. Muhammad Ali... right hook to the jaw. Decision, Muhammad Ali by knockout.
I'm imagining the reprise. Trump talks... Hillary listens...
Hillary listening will be like Muhammed Ali's rope-a-dope strategy. She'll let Trump hang himself. All she has to do is repeat what he said.
There might also be something to be said for reality based campaigning. All that listening is well and good, but she has to get something out of it. She has to show she knows what people think the problems are, and show she's thought through some answers.
She's been doing all that for years; maybe nobody better.
