- 8 years ago
Third presidential debate 2016: Five things to watch Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will meet in Las Vegas Wednesday night for their third and final debate.
It will be held at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Fox News’ Chris Wallace is moderating.
Here are five things to look for: 1.
Breaking news: Any plans the moderators had for the second debate were scratched when, hours before, the Washington Post published a tape of Trump making lewd comments women.
And, WikiLeaks dropped batches of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails.
2.
Can Trump change the narrative?
According to a CBS News poll released Tuesday morning, 32 percent of participants said the debates made their opinions of Trump worse, compared with 18 percent who said the debates made him look better.
What can Trump do tonight to turn the tables in his favor?
3.
How far will Trump go?
He held a press conference with women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct and rape, seated them with his family during the debate, then claimed no one in the history of this nation was as abusive to women as Bill Clinton.
Where will Trump take things this time?
4.
Can Clinton keep her composure?
In the first two debates, Clinton responded to Trump’s aggression and building frustration by staying calm and collected.
This is Trump’s last chance to share the stage with her before Election Day, so there's a good chance he’ll try to rattle her more than previously.
Will it work?
5.
The moderator: There’s been a lot of focus on fact-checking at the first few debates.
Wallace said he doesn’t plan to actively play the truth police.
He believes “it’s up to the other person to catch them on that."
