Eyeing Debates, Clinton Aims to Keep Trump Expectations High
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hillary Clinton will enter her highly anticipated fall debates with Donald Trump facing the same kind of heightened expectations that often saddle an incumbent president.
Trump, as the political newcomer, will be more of a wild card on the presidential debate stage.
A month before the first faceoff, the situation presents a tricky balancing act for Clinton. She wants to keep expectations high for Trump before they meet, hoping the actual debate will undercut his standing. At the same time, she continues to paint him as unprepared and temperamentally unfit for the presidency.
