Quote:The final hours before tonight's first 2016 presidential debate brought all the hype of a political version of the Super Bowl, with expectations, predictions and talk of special guests -- and Hillary Clinton's customized lectern -- dominating coverage.

Arguments about whether Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump or Democratic rival Hillary Clinton would do better on substance or style were indeed largely overshadowed this weekend by Trump suggesting Saturday that he’d invite Gennifer Flowers, with whom Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, has acknowledged having a sexual encounter.

Clinton's podium will feature a customized step stool to compensate for the 10-inch height advantage held by the 6-foot-3 Donald Trump, a maneuver that could boost the optics for the Democratic nominee.

The step stool will do no good unless Hillary declines to meet Trump at center stage for the customary hand shake. Donald should hold the shake a bit and bend over to whisper something innocuous in Hillary's ear.

Wonder if an actual debate will break out or not.

Depends on if Lester holt lets the go at it, or has a Candy Crowley moment.
