Trump campaign manager expresses confidence

"The news that the ultra-liberal, elitist, out-of-touch New York Times editorial board endorsed an ultra-liberal, elitist, out-of-touch candidate in Hillary Clinton has to be some of the least surprising news ever", said Trump's senior communications adviser Jason Miller, arguing that the editorial board is the "embodiment of the rigged system Donald Trump is running against". Who do you think will win the election?

The debate will be split into six 15-minute segments on major topics.

The billionaire real estate developer and neophyte politician must quell doubts that he lacks the knowledge, empathy and temperament needed to serve in the world's most unforgiving job, the presidency of the United States.

McKinney also says Trump will have to further develop his responses in a one-on-one setting, versus the primaries when ten candidate were on stage. "But we're going to see who can answer the specific questions", said Sen.

"It's unfair to ask that Hillary Clinton both play traffic cop with Trump, make sure that his lies are corrected, and also to present her vision for what she wants to do for the American people", Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook told broadcaster ABC. McKinney thinks Clinton needs to work to try to change the perception she'd not trustworthy during the 90 minute event, which she won't be able to do if she's constantly dealing with the scandals surrounding her.

McCarthy added that "there's still a lot to go" in the presidential race, and said, "One debate does not determine the election".

McKinney says his historical research points to Monday's debate being consequential November's outcome.

Many voters are hoping to see a relatively civilized debate, after months of mutual attacks between Trump and Clinton on the campaign trail.

The centerpiece of Trump's campaign has been a push for restrictive immigration measures, including a physical wall along the U.S. -Mexico border and an early proposal to temporarily bar foreign Muslims from coming to the U.S. But he's been less detailed about other ideas, including his plan for stamping out the Islamic State group in the Middle East, and Conway suggested he'd be similarly coy in Monday's debate. It'll take place at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, just outside New York City.
