“By virtue of her long political resume, Hillary Clinton will enter her highly anticipated fall debates with Donald Trump facing the same kind of heightened expectations that often saddle an incumbent president. Trump, as the political newcomer, will be more of a wild card with a lower bar to clear,” the AP reports.
“A month before the first faceoff, Clinton allies are working to prevent that dynamic from turning into an advantage for the Republican nominee.”
“Boosting debate expectations for her opponent requires a tricky balancing act for Clinton. At the same time she is encouraging Americans to take seriously Trump’s controversial policy proposals, including a temporary ban on Muslim immigration and building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, she’s painting him as unprepared and temperamentally unfit for the presidency.”
