On Saturday morning, Trump replied: “If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!”

Trump brought up Flowers after Mark Cuban – the billionaire owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and a Trump critic – tweeted that he’d been invited by Clinton’s campaign to sit in the front row at the debate.
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. A Flowers personal assistant told BuzzFeed Saturday that “Ms. Flowers has agreed to join Donald at the debate”.
Republican nominee for president of the United States Donald Trump continues to trail Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that was released on Friday afternoon.
Clinton’s campaign has said Holt should fact-check, while Trump has suggested he let the candidates duke it out themselves. “The best case for Hillary Clinton can not be, and is not, that she isn’t Donald Trump”, the Times’ endorsement read. Seventeen percent say they’re unhappy with what they see as her dishonesty and secrecy.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll stated that the two leaders, ahead of the first presidential debate, are locked in a neck-and-neck battle with just over a month to go for the elections. “Cuban being in the front row if his objective is to somehow disrupt the debate; likewise, if Mr. Trump was going to put someone in the front row to try and impact things”. “You know I’m in your corner and will definitely be at the debate!”

Cuban responded by asking Trump if he remembered comparing them to the Bobbsey Twins, upper class children from a popular book series.
She told Clinton campaign volunteers in Nashua, New Hampshire, that she would never have predicted that a major presidential candidate would base a campaign on scapegoating Mexicans, women and Muslims.
Trump has been criticised throughout the campaign for crass comments he has made about women in the past, including insults about their physical appearance.
If he reacts by attacking, Trump also risks losing women’s votes; he already has a harder time with women voters, and they make up 53% of those who turn out.
Mr Cruz said in Austin, Texas: “Any path we took, if I supported Donald, if I didn’t support Donald, the criticism was going to be there”.

Trump seems unwilling to train with a Hillary stand-in. Fifty-seven percent say Clinton is qualified to be president while 47 percent say Trump is.
