(I'm a back bencher as HRC and her team discuss strategy - beating Trump)
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
"Joel, I've considered your suggestions. I've been waiting for the right time. This is the right time."
JOEL BENENSON
"Madam Secretary, today the door was opened. We need to charge through."
CLINTON
"Joel, let's get specific. Review the specifics."
BENENSON
"Madam Secretary, at every rally, we bring to the podium a person who was cheated by Trump University. The person will say how much they invested, and what they received - which is nothing. And this is the start that we build the speech on."
ROBBY MOOK
"In other words, I'm John Smith of Trenton, NJ and I paid $15,000 in tuition to Trump University. I wasted my money. It wasn't a school. I didn't get any credentials. I didn't even get a real estate license. And I want Donald Trump to give my money back"
JOHN PODESTA
"Great. Hillary, that resonates. I can feel a movement starting. At each rally, the audience waits for the speaker and together, the audience calls out "And I want Donald Trump to give me my money back."
JIM MARGOLIS
"Madam Secretary, it could become the rallying cry of the election. I believe the media would run with it. I could see massive banners behind you with the slogan. And you could work in "Donald, do the right thing, give them their money back" into the stump speech."
DAVID BINDER
"I tested a version of that. It polls well. Right up there with the casino bankruptcy. At two separate focus groups, they suggested that Trump's nickname be 'BK' as in bankruptcy and BK Trump for a nickname. Also, the focus group said anything that shows Trump taking away jobs - BK, fake university - is very powerful."
CLINTON
"OK. Let me be clear. I'm putting my foot on Trump's throat. I'm pressing Trump university, I'm pressing BK and I'm closing with "Donald, I'm going to add jobs - and you take them away."
"Great. I love it. What's next?"
MOOK
"Debate Prep - One hour in the main conference room. We're all set up."
CLINTON
"Perfect. Tape it. I want to perfect our new attack"
PODESTA
"The code name is heel. As is - heel to the throat. You are putting your foot on his throat and we're not letting up."
