The freaky tweetfest came two days after Cuban, who endorsed Clinton earlier this year, announced he had accepted her campaign’s invitation to sit in the front row of Monday night’s debate at the university.

“Gennifer Flowers will not be attending the debate tomorrow night”, Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate, said on “Fox News Sunday”. “Cuban being in the front row if his goal is to somehow disrupt the debate; likewise, if Mr. Trump was going to put someone in the front row to try and impact things”. Mook said Clinton would challenge Trump at the debate “to reveal what his plans are”.
Cuban has had an ongoing feud with Trump for years and has been trolling the candidate throughout the campaign, primarily on social media. In early September, Clinton led Trump by five points among likely voters and in early August, she led by eight points.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are in a virtual dead heat in their bitter race for the White House on the eve of their first head-to-head presidential debate, a new poll showed Sunday.
The Clinton campaign issued a statement Saturday night in response. That’s well within the poll’s 4.5 percentage point margin of error.
Donald Trump likes to boast about polls, but only when he is ahead, which he is getting to be in some new ones and closing the gap in others just in time for this election’s most spectacular face-off, the first presidential debate on Monday.
His campaign was in complete disarray shortly thereafter as aides tried to reboot him, urging him to stay close to script and not get himself into trouble with stray remarks – such as the one that made him look like he was inciting violence against Clinton.
The executive director of the Commission on Presidential Debates, Janet Brown, also came down against moderators fact-checking during the debate, telling CNN’s Brian Stelter on Sunday, “I think, personally, if you are starting to get into the fact-check, I’m not sure what is the big fact, and what is a little fact?”
“All that we’re asking is that, if Donald Trump lies, that it’s pointed out”, Mook said on ABC’s This Week.
Most voters (53 percent) who do not see Trump as qualified to be president, while 58 percent said he lacks the temperament to be an effective president and 55 percent said he lacked the world knowledge required for the job.

“This adds a circus quality that is not helpful when Trump, more than anyone else, needs to appear to be a credible and plausible president of the United States”, Mackowiak said.
