Hillary Clinton needed just 2 minutes to destroy Donald Trump for his Russian TV appearance and while she was at it, Clinton reminded everyone that she is the only serious, experienced, capable candidate for president.

Watch here via Sarah Parnass of The Washington Post:

As Clinton was leaving the stage, she was asked, “Senator Clinton, do you have a response to Donald Trump appearing on Russian-funded television?”

The former Secretary of State stopped with a half turn, smiled and shrugged in a who knows what that crazy guy will do way, and then showed why Donald Trump is going to wish Clinton wouldn’t take any more questions from the press.

The press laughed with the Democratic nominee as she basically rolled her eyes at Donald Trump’s antics. Yes, the world is laughing at Donald Trump. The Republican presidential nominee.

Smiling easiliy as she turned back to the microphone, Clinton said what most people who are paying attention to this race are thinking, “Every day that goes by, this just becomes more and more of a reality television show. It’s not a serious presidential campaign. And it is beyond one’s imagination.”

Clinton easily made a fool of Donald Trump.

Clinton explained that Trump is praising Putin and approving of Putin’s wish list, yet he isn’t even aware of what Putin has already done, “We have a candidate for president praising a Russian autocrat like Putin and throwing his lot in with him, in the way that he has approved of his wish list and not even really understanding what Putin’s already done like invading and occupying Crimea.”

“We are living in challenging times,” Clinton continued. Then she showed why it’s important to know things that Donald Trump doesn’t even know he doesn’t know, by pointing out that Putin’s regime has aggressive tendencies not just for us but for our allies and friends as well as our values.

“No one who wants to assume the responsibility of being president and commander-in-chief should be making the kinds of reckless and dangerous statements and identifying with a regime that has some aggressive tendencies towards our interests, our values, our friends and allies.”

Handling the late question with deftness that shows an unparalleled readiness for the job, Clinton finished with this, “So can I say I was surprised? I’m not sure anything surprises us anymore, but I was certainly disappointed that someone running for president of the United States would continue this unseemly identification with and praise of the Russian president, including on Russian television.”

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how it’s done. This is how you respond to a seemingly easy question with an answer that lays out the stakes for the American public and the press, and clearly dispenses of Donald Trump because he’s a reality TV show fool, not a serious presidential candidate.

This Hillary Clinton is the one Donald Trump can’t beat. He’s not even in the same race.
