And that’s exactly why Trump invited Flowers to embarrass Hillary and prove to voters what a corrupt, flawed and self-serving candidate she is.
But in a year when outsiders like Mr Trump and Mr Sanders have made a mark, Mr Trump’s best argument could be that he is a better agent of change than the former secretary of state and U.S. senator from NY, said Scott Reed, a veteran Republican operative who is now chief strategist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Trump will likely need to prove to voters that he has the policy depth and gravitas to serve as commander in chief.
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday that Holt should point out when Trump clearly lies, calling Trump a special case because he has lied so often.
“But the fact is that he has every right to defend himself”. But then, like Jackson praising a referee before leaning on him, he added, “But a lot of people are going to be watching to see if that’s true”. “But he will answer the questions”.
The commission “asks independent, smart journalists to be the moderators and we let them decide how they’re going to do this”, Brown said.

“We need to hear from these two candidates, and I hope and trust the moderators will just facilitate that”, Pence said on CBS’ Face the Nation.
To prepare for the debate, Clinton has been holding mock debate sessions where longtime aide Philippe Reines plays the role of Trump. She took several days off the campaign trail in the last week to prepare.
Outspoken Trump critic and owners of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, Mark Cuban, tweeted on Thursday: “Just got a front row seat to watch @HillaryClinton overwhelm @realDonaldTrump”.
