Donald Trump’s campaign manager and running mate said Sunday he doesn’t want Gennifer Flowers – who had an affair with Bill Clinton in the 1970s – at Monday night’s presidential debate.

One of Clinton’s strongest 2016 debate moments came before the New York primary, when she seized upon Sanders’ lengthy interview with the New York Daily News in which he struggled to explain how he would break up large Wall Street banks.
The ratings for the televised matchup between the two candidates are expected to be at record highs.
The visuals alone will be striking as the candidates step behind their podiums at Hofstra University in suburban NY.
The prime-time faceoff between the former Democratic U.S. senator and secretary of state, and the unorthodox Republican businessman marks the first time the two candidates will spar on a national stage in a formal debate.
“Imagine the practice and the training of 13 years of reality television on “The Apprentice” and then imagine Hillary’s experience reading hundreds of papers”, said Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and a Trump adviser who has been talking through policy with the candidate in recent days. The 90-minute debate will be televised by NBC and streamed on this site at 9 p.m. ET Monday.
Clinton’s ability to bounce back from her failings, however, is another one of her strengths as a politician and presidential candidate, according to the endorsement.
Clinton leads Trump by 2 points among likely voters in the Washington Post-ABC News poll released early Sunday, 46 to 44 percent, well within its margin of error.
But now it’s your turn: What questions would you ask Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump within these topics if you were the moderator?
By inviting Flowers, Trump can justifiably be seen as attempting to humiliate Hillary, who was victimized by her husband’s infidelities.
Trump has been criticised throughout the campaign for crass comments he has made about women in the past, including insults about their physical appearance.
Clinton aides fear Trump will indeed be judged more for his performance than his grasp of the numerous challenges that pass across a president’s desk. There were perceptions that he favored Mitt Romney over President Barack Obama in 2012.
The Clinton campaign has launched a attack ad calling on Trump to release his tax returns to prove he doesn’t have ties to Russian Federation.
The Clinton campaign had invited Mark Cuban, a fellow billionaire and Trump rival, to the debate. Donald Trump’s debate prep includes bowls full of Skittles and old Bill Clinton sex scandals.
Lazio, who said that neither Trump nor Clinton had earned his support, has several suggestions for Trump: Present a positive vision, be aware of non-verbal communication and don’t go for the knock-out punch, but rather, amplify Clinton’s negatives.
Today it emerged that Trump’s campaign has not officially invited Flowers to the debate.

But it’s not a joke this year, and that is partly Clinton’s fault. He later admitted under oath in 1998 to a sexual encounter with her.
