That is sure the way this sounds:
Democratic strategist David Axelrod on Saturday suggested that Hillary Clinton skip her third and final debate with Donald Trump.
The former White House adviser to President Obama responded to Trump’s call for a drug test before his next debate with Clinton later this month:
Drug testing?!? You have to wonder if @HillaryClinton will/should reconsider next debate, given the depths to which this has sunk. — David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) October 15, 2016
I think this is a message to Trump, to back off on the drug issue. If Trump keeps pushing it, Hillary will just back out of the debate. It makes it look like quite the Achilles heel. In truth, it really is, because she has something huge wrong with her. Even if she won the election, I doubt she would last a year. It would be a fitting ending – dying, and in doing so revealing one last big lie to all of America.
At this point, the only question is do you could bring the drug issue to the fore innocently by getting hackers to pull her medical records, or is it better to just use it as an amygdala hijack in the debate.
It would be nice if something scandalous and stressful emerged that forced her to come out and address it Monday or Tuesday, so she had to take a hit, and reduce its effectiveness on the big night.
