Yeah, that should 100% be the strategy, especially given the town-hall format. Let Trump twist, absolutely desperate to get out some attacks on Bill, and don't give him an opening. Eventually he's going to burst, and when some young woman asks him about her college debt, he's going to respond with how she should really be terrified of the 42nd President sneaking into her bedroom in the middle of the night.

Clinton is solid at town-hall formats; she can relate to someone, show she understands their side of it, show her own deep knowledge on the topic, and then pivot to her narrative. Trump at the best of times has a hard time relating, or showing an understanding of remotely obscure topics, and he's just going to try to pivot hard to attacking Clinton personally on every issue, and it's going to look absolutely awful for him.
