Don't answer a fool according to her folly

Both Trump and Hillary are significantly flawed and so there will be a choice between slim and none.
With Trump versus Hillary, a verse(s) from Proverbs comes to mind that is applicable

Proverbs 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.
and immediately following
Proverbs 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

Do not sink to the level of a fool responding to him (or her)
Do point out their folly and wrong thinking and practice and point to the right way

Some suggested replies
TRUMP: I am appalled by my behavior and the innapropriate comments made on the Tape
Now Hillary what would you like to apologize for?

Some other approaches
from http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016...e-judo-heres-how-to-bring-it-to-st-louis.html

"For openers, she’s a criminal: a bribe-taker of unprecedented proportions.

Hillary and Bill Clinton have been running a racketeering operation – the Clinton Foundation – for 15 years. They monetized the Office of the Secretary of State, and now they’re looking to do the same for the Oval Office. Neither has a law license any longer, yet the couple earned not less than $8 million and as much as $28 million, every year since they left the White House, when they earned $359,000. That’s not counting millions in private jet travel and entertainment perks provided by the Foundation, and a $900,000 salary to Chelsea."

JayHawker, how do you square with Hillary calling women who Bill abused stalkers, trailer trash and erupting bimbos?
To me that's disparaging words to use for women who were victims of her political aspirations.

Am I wrong?

In the debates to come perhaps the presidential and vice presidential sides might consider

Proverbs 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.
(avoidance of follly harm to self)
and immediately following
Proverbs 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
(helping the other guy or gal out of folly harm)

It's a proverbial riddle how these work in ensemble.
