Two Approaches to Debate Prep

September 23, 2016 · 8:17 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are preparing for their highly anticipated Monday night debate showdown in ways that appear to be as different as their candidacies.

“The first presidential debate could easily become one of the most watched events ever, and it will be nearly impossible to avoid seeing at least some parts of it on a television screen, cell phone, tablet or laptop or social media.”

New York Times: “The candidates are taking vastly different approaches to the first presidential debate, revealing what they see as their strengths and weaknesses.”
