It’s October, the month of clutch hits in playoff baseball…and the time for the notorious “October Surprise(s).”
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are once again facing off tonight for the second of three presidential debates. Both candidates had their share of surprises dropped on their campaigns this past weekend. Although, if you’ve paid attention to which one has been dominating the news cycle, you would’ve thought that there’s one and only one.
For Hillary, leaked emails expose her vision of “open trade and open borders.” In excerpts from speeches she delivered to financial institutions, she talked about having “both a public and a private position” on political issues. Which Democratic candidate will we see tonight?
As it pertains to Donald, you probably already know about the vulgar statements he made ten years ago to Access Hollywood‘s Billy Bush and the video apology as well. Will he pull off the gloves tonight and bring up Bill Clinton’s past?
As ABC’s Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper are set to moderate the discussion tonight, we’re guaranteed to hear about at least one of these topics in a town hall format debate. But just in case they miss any bases, we wanted to ask our followers on Facebook and Twitter to submit questions that should be asked to the candidates.
What should @MarthaRaddatz and @andersoncooper ask @realDonaldTrump and @HillaryClinton tonight? Tweet us your questions!#debatenight

@PJMedia_com @realDonaldTrump @MarthaRaddatz @andersoncooper Hillary admitted to bankers she holds two positions why trust her with power?

3. Both Hillary and Donald need to be held accountable.
Sir / Madam, how do you refute the claim that you see yourself as above the laws made for lesser mortals? Sputtering denials don’t count. https://t.co/rZhawuEXKA

@PJMedia_com What policies would you pursue to avoid the rash of bombing plots that we see in the EU right now?
