And 100 Million People are expected to tune in which is close to super bowl numbers. You can watch the debate right here on fox 29, of course, and our bruce gordon is live at Hofstra University where the candidates are facing off. Bruce, what do you expect from the candidates tonight . Reporter well, given the fact that these two candidates are historic levels of unlike ability, unlikedness, what term do we want to come up with, folks just dont like them, they dont trust them, they dont like that. That goes for some members of their own party. It will might help for either one of them or both of them to make themselves at least to appear likeable. Not sure how eyes see thats going to be. Remember Hillary Clinton has been on the National Political stage for 25 years or more. Donald trump of course packet al household name on everyones televisions throughout the land. And so pins on both of these two people probably baked in at this point. One clear issue tonight is going to be donald trump and whether he appears president ial. He has been on the stage with a large number of fellow republicans during the primary season and at times those deba debates evolved into a verbal food fight. At this point he needs to look president ial. He needs to look like he belongs there. He certainly got some unusual strategies and policies hes laid out. Hes got to present them in way that makes sense to the American People and put him on the stage as an equal to Hillary Clinton. Whether you like clinton or not she has been here before and has more experience. That does not necessarily mean she will be the better debator. Simply means she has been here before. So the real wild card here as its been quite frankly for the last six months or so probably a year or more is donald trump. Which donald trump shows up tonight . Do we get some of the more wild statements hes made. Some of the more controversial statements. Does he fire back if hes criticized. Hes made very clear that when hes punched he punches back and he punches back hard. Will that play in front of an audience like this one and National Audience as you say that could approach 100 million folks. Lots of wild cars, lots of questions frankly no one knows how this is going to play out and thats why the hype and the excitement is so great, lucy. Absolutely, bruce. You know what, fox news analyst frank lunts says voters in pennsylvania, ohio and florida will determine who wins the presidency. Thats how critical this state is in the rate for the white house. And thats why he decided to watch the debate right here in philadelphia. During my interview with him today, he says tonights winner will be the candidate who turns off people the least versus being the best. Donald trump these prove that he has enough of a command of the issues and the specifics that he could effectively hold the office of president from day one. Hillary clinton has to prove that we can trust her in times of great stress that she has the integrity necessary to be president. Its very hard for donald trump to prove that you know something its easier someone doesnt. Its very hard to people to trust Hillary Clinton when shes got the record that shes got. So both these candidates start well behind and i think the winner, use that in quotation marks are the winner is the one who make the least mistake. Now hes at the university of pennsylvania graduate the nation has never seen this amount of negativity in president ial campaign.
