It is the first of three planned presidential debates. The size of the audience is expected to challenge the presidential debate record of 80 million who watched the 1980 encounter between Democratic President Jimmy Carter and Republican Ronald Reagan. But Trump, a political newcomer who has often shown more affinity for putdowns than policy, could benefit from lower expectations from voters. Trump frequently chides Clinton as “Crooked Hillary” and has called for her jailing for the email controversy. Trump dominated the crowded Republican debates with rapid-fire attacks on his rivals, but he has no experience in a one-on-one debate setting that requires more prolonged discussion of issues.
