As debaters, Trump and Clinton both have strengths and weaknesses

WASHINGTON, (MILLAT+APP/AFP) – Neither Hillary Clinton
nor Donald Trump is the clear favorite as the two major-party
candidates for the White House go head-to-head in their crucial
first debate Monday.
If Clinton, the Democratic nominee, possesses deep
Washington experience and in-depth knowledge of the issues,
she lacks what supporters of her Republican rival see as
his authenticity.
The two candidates have been laying into each other
for a year but have never appeared face-to-face on the same
stage, just strides apart.
That surely will be one of the biggest attractions of
the highly touted televised encounter, which analysts say
could draw as many as 100 million viewers — a number never
seen before in American politics.
