Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be together on stage for the first time on Monday.

The Trump campaign also sent a letter to supporters on Thursday asking them to take a preparation survey and answers a series of question before Monday night’s debate at Hofstra University in New York, US. She also narrowly tops Trump when it comes to filling Supreme Court vacancies, as well as another of the billionaire’s signature issues: handling global trade.
Clinton often reminds her audiences that she was with Obama during the raids that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden in 2011. Instead, it’s a contest of character and demeanor. Well theysay she’s practicing for the debate. While neither campaign is saying much about how they’ve been doing that, it’s become clear their methods are as different as the candidates themselves. It’s the latest attempt by her campaign to use Trump’s words against him and is similar to ads aimed at voters in battleground states, including veterans and people with disabilities.
Even when it comes to what may be Clinton’s greatest weakness, the perception that she is dishonest, Trump fails to perform much better: 71 percent say she’s only slightly or not at all honest, while 66 percent say the same of Trump.
Ultimately, debates are performance art. Body language matters.
Brett O’Donnell, a debate coach who helped President George W. Bush in his 2004 debates and McCain in 2008, said Bush did not put in the necessary work for his first debate against Democrat John Kerry that year and it showed.
Clinton is an experienced debater. “Because she’s been our secretary of state, because she was part of a national security team that revived the hunt and wiped Osama bin Laden off the face of the earth”.
Sixty percent of registered voters say he does not respect “ordinary Americans”, according to the poll. And those high expectations are bad for Clinton because she has the more hard job on Monday night.
“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy”, Trump said.
But as poorly as voters may view Clinton, they think even less of Trump.
“But New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Clinton supporter, pointed out that what Trump was proposing was a wholesale repudiation of the humanitarian, civic and legal values for which the United States stands – a factor that could give some voters pause when they consider handing the White House to Trump”.
Hosted by Norwegian TV personality Fredrik Skavlan, the talk show is produced jointly for public service broadcasters SVT of Sweden and NRK of Norway. The Commission on Presidential Debates already has announced the somewhat cryptic topics for the first debate: America’s Direction, Achieving Prosperity and Securing America. Gender communications research shows that men, when they are aggressive, are received positively.
Trump offered no apology for the ongoing attacks on Obama and sought to lay blame on Clinton for the so-called “birther” issue.
Clinton has slimmer edges on filling Supreme Court vacancies, 39 percent to 34 percent, and handling worldwide trade, 40 percent to 34 percent. That may be a double standard, but that’s how voters perceive it. Voters like a happy warrior, particularly if the candidate is female.
Speaking on CNN’s “New Day”, Mook said Clinton wants to “restore bonds between communities and law enforcement”. You can’t win an election, in a debate but you can lose one (See: Gore, Albert or Bush, George H.W.).

“We should also launch an intelligence surge to help identify and thwart attacks before they can be carried out”. And in a race this tight, they will matter a lot. At others, he’s said the people he would nominate would share similar qualities to those on the list.
