The pressure is intense for Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton -- phenomenally different candidates -- who clash in their first debate on Monday. Stakes are as high as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump head into their first debate just six weeks before the electionStakes are as high as they get since there are just six weeks until the November 8 election. Clinton's campaign released a long list of lies it attributes to Donald Trump ahead of the debate. Her image has been sullied by Trump attacks over her email scandal, the Clinton Foundation's alleged pay-to-play donations, and her ties to Wall Street. Trump has not yet experienced a presidential debate: 90 minutes of intense questioning, with only one opponent and a moderator, who on Monday will be NBC news anchor Lester Holt.
