No more niceties: Clinton and Trump teams ditch customary pre-debate handshakes - after Hillary requested new set-up for the Las Vegas showdown
Candidates' families to skip customary handshake at Wednesday's debate The Clintons and Trumps will not meet prior to the final debate at UNLV Clinton's campaign requested the different set-up, according to reports The families will now enter the debate hall closer to their personal seats The Clintons are also expecting more antics from Trump on Wednesday The Republican nominee hatched a plan to have three women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault seated in his box at the last debate All signs are pointing towards Wednesday's third and final presidential debate being the nastiest yet.
In the lead up to the crucial clash in Las Vegas, it has been reported that Donald Trump plans to attack Hillary Clinton on a number of personal issues - including her heath and 'character'.
The Republican candidate opted for a similar approach in the second debate, threatening to jail the Democratic nominee and bringing up her husband's alleged sexual transgressions.
Now, it has been revealed candidates’ family members will do away with convention and ditch the customary pre-fight greetings. The stage at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas features a different set-up than the previous two this year, with family members will enter the arena nearer to their seats, the New York Times reports.
The newspaper reports the altered arrangement was requested by the Clinton campaign. As a result, they are not expected to cross paths, as has been the case previously.
The change comes after Trump tried to have three women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault included in his family box.

That's OK. The moderator plans to attack Donald Trump.
Hillary will sound like a Total idiot tonight
She doesn’t want to show how small and impersonal she is. This only proves how small she truly is.
Pray America wakes
Hillary will sound like a Total idiot tonight
No she won’t
She will try to get Trump to say and do things that make Trump look like a total idiot.
It shows she’s a weak, helpless person who can’t stand on her own without help. The Donald, for better or worse, is his own person.
She also started the nasty personal attacks when she went through a litany of ‘why he’s not fit to be President’.
But they won’t mention that either.
When that snowflake at the previous debate asked if the candidates could say something nice about each other, I half expected Donald to say he couldn’t think of anything nice to say about the witch. It looked like he was struggling to come up with something. No need for those two to shake hands, IMO.
Trump has been accused of instigating the circus-like atmosphere from the beginning. The news media are responsible. Hillary and her henchmen are responsible.
The lefties attack and expect the Republican candidate to quietly accept defeat. Trump isn’t cooperating, so they call him outrageous, dangerous, and bombastic.
This country is on the verge of civil war. The debates this yesr are war. No need for handshakes.
Eliminate the customary pre-debate handshakes? ? ? ? I hope the Donald puts forth his hand for a shake.
No need for those two to shake hands, IMO. .......................... Agree, the media will say he invaded her space. It worked in 2000. That large % of women for her are only interested in the 1st woman president aspect. Its not about leadership, its more about electing a woman in their lifetime. To hell with the rest of the problems, they can be taken care of later even if she is a complete F’up, and then let the next administration take the blame for it.
The Daily Mail is all-in for Hillary.
They didn’t shake before the last debate.
And BTW, a gentleman waits for the lady to extend her hand first.
But then Hillary is no lady so I guess that rule of etiquette can be tossed.
