Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton responded on Thursday to Donald Trump’s insults about another female candidate’s looks by saying she “would love to” debate the real estate mogul if he becomes the GOP nominee, according to The Boston Globe.

Trump had mocked Republican rival Carly Fiorina in an interview with Rolling Stone published Wednesday.

“Look at that face!” Trump said, about Fiorina. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next President?!”

He has also made instulting comments about actress Rosie O’Donnell and a remark about Fox News host Megyn Kelly that many interpreted as a comment on her menstrual cycle.

Clinton took a thinly veiled jab at Trump to an audience at a “Women For Hillary” campaign event Thursday in Columbus, Ohio.

“There is one particular candidate who just seems to delight in insulting women at every chance he gets,” Clinton said, according to the newspaper. “I have to say if he emerges, I would love to debate him.”

    HRC should imagine a quiet sit down with the invisible current and past Mrs. Trumps for a current events discussion…and she could use this device with a variety of issues/situations.

    Here’s a suggestion for Hillary from a supporter. You should start taking on Trump directly and harshly, anointing him as the Republican Candidate Presumptive. Just do it. Over and over. Day after day. This is not only the right thing to do, but it will both show courage that Republicans can’t muster and it will ignite support for you among Democrats. It will also force the press to start writing about something other than your email. Yes, let’s make this into a Hillary vs. Trump presidential contest and let’s do it now.
