“Donald Trump’s answers are concise and they’re confident, and they’re pointed the way a leader – the way a leader answers questions, frankly”, she said on Fox News radio. In a bit that was more barbed than anything that happened during Trump’s appearance, Fallon handed Clinton a bag of items that Trump left behind: a bag of softballs (indicating that she would get the same treatment as her rival), a photo of Putin framed in a heart, and a CD of Pink Floyd’s The Wall. “We can not let this go on”, Mrs. Clinton said.

Clinton and her campaign aides have tried to keep a lid on leaks about Clinton’s debate process, preferring not to telegraph to the Trump campaign how the former secretary of state will go after the businesses magnate. “Maybe he will try to be presidential and try to convey a gravity that he hasn’t done before or will he come in and try to insult and try to score some points”.
