Currently, an NBC/ Wall Street Journal poll has placed Clinton a 6 point lead, 43 per cent to Trump’s 37 per cent, among likely voters.
As Trump campaigned in the battleground state of Virginia, Clinton stayed close to home in NY while preparing for Monday night’s opening debate.
The text of the editorial, which The Times said precedes another later piece devoted exclusively to Trump and what it views as his shortcomings, explains why one of the most influential US newspapers has renewed the support it already provided to Clinton during the primaries. “Bombast, well, does anybody expect anything different?”
Both campaigns have already fired salvos on that front, trying to shape the lens through which people view their candidate’s performance. “For years she’s been doing this and she’s done nothing”. Trump, however, “is new to the format”.
“Unlike the primary debates, where there were multiple candidates on the stage and therefore we heard from Trump periodically, in a 90-minute debate where he’s going to have half the time, he can’t fill all of this time with one-liners, with self-praise, with the glib attacks – that will wear thin”, McKinney said. “Getting through a debate while maintaining your demeanor and not becoming unhinged should not be the standard”, argued Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri.

“The best case for Hillary Clinton can not be, and is not, that she isn’t Donald Trump”, the board wrote, before citing its reasons why Clinton is better suited to the presidency than her opponent.
Ever since, debates have become a fixture of USA presidential elections.
On Jan. 20, one of these candidates will become president. The biggest surprise might be if there is no surprise from Trump. “He is smart, understands the issues and understands the back and forth of political debate”, said the source who confirmed Reines’ involvement for Fox News. But I certainly don’t think you want Candy Crowley again.
Televised presidential debates haven’t been around all that long.
The Times’ endorsement is not a surprise ― it has endorsed the Democratic nominee in every general election since 1960.
Prove he can be presidential. Watch the first presidential debate at 9 p.m. ET. Their research suggested that while they did reinforce voters’ existing preferences, they rarely caused them to change their mind.
Multiple polls show that her use of a private email server without approval while secretary of state has deepened voters’ mistrust of her even though she has since acknowledged it was a mistake. The debates now drive news coverage well beyond the 24 hours before and after the event, itself.
With Trump, though, you must always account for the unexpected.
Sometimes debates are campaign turning points.

The debate will be divided into six segments of approximately 15 minutes each, with two segments apiece on the following three topics: America’s Direction, Achieving Prosperity and Securing America.
