Laura all eyes are on sunday, a different matchup between donald trump and Hillary Clinton. It will be a town hall debate with questions am undecided voters. How will that affect the way it goes . That is a wildcard. You never know when you are in an arena and people are allowed to ask whatever questions they want. Where they will go. They can go in a million different directions. You have 2 strong moderators in Martha Raddatz and Anderson Cooper who are sharp and can followup in strong ways. When you have both candidates, donald trump, the burden is on him. Mike pence may have stanched some of the bleeding, but it is up to him to turn the page. Laura how will he respond . He will need to learn more of the policy briefing books that he seemed to ignore.
