Trump on Saturday threatened to bring Flowers to the debate in reaction to the Hillary Clinton campaign’s decision to invite Mark Cuban.

Flowers took to her Twitter to accept Trump’s informal invitation, but Trump’s Vice President Mike Pence was quick to say that Flowers would not be at the debate.
The mogul’s campaign director, Kellyanne Conway, said on Sunday on CNN that the possibility that Flowers might be in the debate audience was suggested so that Hillary Clinton knows that the two candidates may invite people whose presence might adversely affect their opponent to the Monday contest at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.
Flowers, who nearly derailed Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential bid when she revealed the two had had a long affair, confirmed her attendance with the New York Times and Buzzfeed on Sunday.
This is why the Clinton campaign wants moderators to fact check Trump in real time.
“All that we’re asking is that, if Donald Trump lies, that it’s pointed out”, Mook said on ABC’s This Week.
At a primary debate, Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly rattled off a list of Trump quotations and then asked, “Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president, and how will you answer the charge with Hillary Clinton, who is likely the Democratic nominee, that you are part of the war on women?”
Cuban, a billionaire reality TV star who has previously criticized Trump, will reportedly sit in the front row.

In 1992 during Bill Clinton’s Presidential campaign, Flowers had come forward to claim that she had a 12-year-old affair with him. Fact checkers found that over a five-day period, Donald Trump lied once every 3 minutes and fifteen seconds. He recently described Trump as “dangerous” and offered $10 million to have a debate with him. “They started this one by saying that they would give a front row seat to Mark Cuban”.
