Sure but Trump needs it to be a sideshow rather than a debate. He has to continue to set the bar low for his performance. That's all this is about. Doing stupid things on the eve of the debate to lower expectations.
Couldn't Clinton take the opportunity to sit down one on one with the mother and discuss the grievance and steps that have been taken to try to ensure it doesn't happen again? At worst she continues to be hated by this woman (rightly or wrongly) but gets good press for being human rather than robotic. At best the mother softens her tone and Clinton gets even better press for being human and for the inevitable tantrum Trump will have while he insults the mother on twitter.
I think to me that is why the bullying ad is a good one for Clinton. It shows a more caring and human side of her that is not often on display. She took the question seriously, engaged the girl for further details and why it's important to her and gave a strong answer. That plays well with younger voters and mothers. It helps solidify the gap she has established in those demographics and motivates them to get to the polls. Well honestly, most of the Clinton ads have been good because rather than a typical attack ad which can take things wildly out of context, they are playing actual clips of things he says and does that are in context.
