RE: Debate Book - for tomorrow's prep

I think this is a great approach. We should pick just a few of these numbers for her to learn, but Joel’s basic idea here – I’ve gotten more votes than Trump, and Sanders has not – is excellent. If current #s hold up through Saturday races how about something like this: Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have both talked a lot about how many voters they’re turning out but so far I’ve won 10 states, and I have won 700 thousand more votes than Donald Trump and Sen Sanders has 1 MM fewer votes than Donald Trump. I think Sen Sanders would also have to acknowledge that I have not outpolled him significantly among African-Americans & Latinos, but among all voters over that age of 30, who total 83% of all Democratic votes cast, I beat Sen Sanders by 2 to 1 or 1.4 MM voters. I have also won our primaries in key swing states like Virginia, Iowa and Nevada and about 8 states Sen Sanders has won fewer voters than either Trump or myself. The point is that winning in Nov. will take building a strong, diverse coalition. We are going to have to do what both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama did to win – appeal to and actually turnout the diverse coalition of voters we need to win the presidency. So far, it’s fair to say that my message, my campaign is doing a much better job of building that coalition and actually getting our voters to the polls. …… Dear all, Here is the Debate Book -- this document is exactly what HRC currently has in hard copy. (We swapped in updates for about 5 sections this morning; the rest of the book was printed for her on Wednesday). Also attached are a few additional background pages that HRC asked for yesterday. The yellow highlights on the table of contents are the sections we told her to focus on. Kristina and I will bring 7-10 hard copies of those questions, to Detroit tomorrow. One thing that HRC asked for a good response on, is Bernie's claim that "he is the one who can beat Trump, because he is still doing better than her against Trump, in national polls." She wanted a smart reply -- whether it is saying that polls always change; or pointing to other polls; or whatever. Do people on this chain have any good ideas about that, as she will likely bring it up tomorrow? Finally, below are a few final things Kristina and I are running down, for prep tomorrow. She also wanted some good Trump hits, and we've thought of the fact that he opposed the auto bailout, and Trump University. Please let us know if you have other ideas. Thanks so much, Sara and Kristina • Sunday – remind her that Sunday is Bloody Sunday • New riff on – problems Detroit are not just due to trade • 2-3 Trump hits – he opposed auto bailout, Trump University • New answer on -- Bernie will be Trump/polls • Corporate tax point • Pull trade stats (deficit, surplus) • Examples of his Wall Street pivots/mentions – specifics
