The 90-minute contest Tuesday in Cleveland, the first presidential debate, will be stripped of typical debate standards.
"Where is Hunter?" Trump asked supporters at a recent rally in Fayetteville, N.C., repeating a phrase that has become a battle cry on his campaign."I think it will be brought up in the debate.""Nobody thought he was going to win, and he didn't think he was going to win," he said."Now it's ridiculously personal because he'll be embarrassed if he loses, so he's much more defensive than he was last time.
"Four years as an incumbent means four years in which you've been deferred and people are telling you what you want to hear," said Schroeder, author of"Presidential Debates: Risky Business on the Campaign Trail." "On a debate stage, your opponent is going to do the opposite." There will be a"small number of ticketed guests" instead of a traditionally packed audience, according to the commission. The lack of crowd may undercut Trump, though it won't make him any less aggressive, said Mercieca, author of"Demagogue For President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump."
“This time what’s going to be more important than the funny line or the personal attack is going to be ‘What’s your life like the next day?’ when you have to remotely school your child, search for a job if you’re unemployed and, God forbid, battle a terrible pandemic,” Barnett said.
