First presidential debate
Location: Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY
The first debate will be divided into six time segments of approximately 15 minutes each on major topics to be selected by the moderator and announced at least one week before the debate. The moderator will open each segment with a question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. Candidates will then have an opportunity to respond to each other. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a deeper discussion of the topic.
*Wright State University in Ohio has withdrawn from holding the First Presidential debate due to budget issues. Hofstra University will step in to host the first Clinton/Trump debate.

I’ll be surprised if there is only one debate.
I’m wondering if there will even be ONE !
The Las Vegas debate should be moved to “Circus Circus”. The candidates could come flying in on trapezes. ;-)
Will they sign pledges to support this country?
I’ll be surprised if Hillary shows up.
The Pence/Kaine match up should be worth watching to see Kaine get pulverized.
Agree.
My guess is what will happen is the she’ll engineer some kind of huff or butt hurt at something Trump does, says or that he insists on some condition, etc.
One thing I do know is that she will INSIST on no questions about the email server because she has already been ‘cleared’ and that no questions on Benghazi because that investigation is also ongoing.
Regardless of what it is, Hillary will always say “Well, I’ve always supported ........blah, blah....”
Trump should NOT walk up to her and ask her to sign a pledge renouncing the use of soft money . /s
Has CNN already declared Hillary the winner of the first debate?
Not enough
that second debate seems like a good place for the return of pony tail boy..
So many people think that neither hillary nor Trump is Presidential. Trump wins when he demonstrates how presidential and informed he is. Because so many people are unhappy with the choices, the VP debates become really important. Pence, I’d imagine, will come across as infinitely more informed and impressive than Clown Kaine.
Debates are passe.
Trump proved that.
They are a waste of time, and just gives the Leftist media opportunities to happily bash our candidates.
So sick and tired of them.
Brilliant! Trump should ask Hillary if she will pledge supporting this country. Or he should ask her, in the course of the debate, if America is the greatest country in the world, and in history, and if not, why not. And just keep boring in when she talks around it.
They have to show some semblance of neutrality, so they will wait till next week to do that. 😀
This should be interesting!
That is absolute BS they made it at the end of September, that is clearly the work of Hillary Clinton because the LAST thing she wants to do is debate Trump. Think about how late that date is...That is 1.5 months before the election. Trump should demand they debate every 2 weeks starting next week.
