And yes, Hillary Clinton has more experience at these things.

“Based on the 13 keys, it would predict a Donald Trump victory”.
The appeal came hours after Trump threatened on Twitter to invite a woman who’d had an affair with Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, to sit in the first row at their first debate. In the run-up to the debate, both sides are turning to the age-old practice of highlighting the strengths of their competitor in an effort to minimize the impact of their own flaws.
Shifting terrain in three battlegrounds, the “debate expectations” game in full effect, and how historically black colleges and universities factor into 2016.
The Clinton campaign is trying to shape the battlefield by pointing out that Trump will be in his element on Monday night.
In an unusual example of humility Mr Trump watched a compilation of his own worst moments in previous debates, so he doesn’t repeat the mistakes. “He thrashed his rivals in GOP debates”, Brian Fallon, Clinton’s national press secretary, tweeted in August. But for Hillary Clinton’s debate prep, someone has to try.
Republican Trump and Democrat Clinton will face off for the first time in the first of three scheduled presidential debates on Monday at the Hofstra University on Long Island, New York.
That’s the context for the debate, a small Clinton lead nationally and several competitive state races with the map still more favourable to her. Trump responded Saturday with a threat to bring Gennifer Flowers, with whom Bill Clinton admitted to having a sexual relationship decades ago, to the event.
“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. But on ABC’s “This Week”, Conway said Flowers has a right to attend “if somebody else gives her a ticket”.
Master of horror fiction Stephen King says “Trump presidency scares me to death” Could the debate change the U.S. race?
Of course, this quadrennial charade makes no sense. Smith doubts that Johnson will poll high enough to be given that coveted spot in the two debates after the upcoming one. If a candidate is predicted to struggle in a debate but ultimately vaults over the low bar, surrogates and analysts will proclaim an upset win.
The decision was the latest play in a weird bit of gamesmanship between the Clinton and Trump campaigns over the debate.
“I talked to some Clinton folks”, he said.
“She has evinced a lamentable penchant for secrecy and made a poor decision to rely on a private email server while at the State Department”, it states.
Already, Trump has sought to work the refs, suggesting Holt would be unfair to him and arguing that moderators shouldn’t play the role of fact-checkers.
Politicians often exaggerate their records, obfuscate, say they did something great when it wasn’t so great. She tells CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday that “we don’t expect her to be there as a guest of the Trump campaign”. “We will be watching to see”.
Trump’s affinity for insults and name-calling quickly became a staple of his presidential campaign.
The debates will have one moderator who will select the questions to be asked.

The media bought into the idea that Gore was a rhetorical giant and Bush was a oratorical pygmy.
The New York Times is endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.
Gore’s failure to meet that bar severely wounded his campaign. This debate will follow the same format as the first presidential debate.
Trump is leading in Iowa and OH, two states Obama won twice. Bush pollster Matthew Dowd told journalists the MA senator was “the best debater since Cicero”, referring to the Roman philosopher and orator.

Who is going to win? The exchange showed how Clinton’s humor could be an effective countermeasure to Trump.
