I really don't think Clinton's main goal was to demonstrate that Donald Trump is a sexist. She's already used his own sexist words against him in television ads and interviews and the Miss Universe did sign up to be judged on her looks. The beauty pageant winner has a lot of controversy in her past and probably isn't an ideal surrogate for Clinton, though the fat-shaming bit may have swayed some undecided women voters.
I think Clinton baited Trump with that old news at the end of the debate more to prove her point that Trump doesn't have the temperament to be President and can be baited easily, which is not something a lot of people feel comfortable with in a President who'll be expected to deal with all kinds of tough people and situations and make measured rather than reactive decisions. If that was her goal, she sure has succeeded.
