Just hours after their running mates finished their debate, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are charting distinct paths to the upcoming presidential debate Sunday in St. Louis.
The stakes are a little different for each of them, too.
For Clinton, the second debate is an opportunity to sustain the momentum she's drawn from the first. Polls this week showed the former secretary of state with leads nationally and in key swing states.
For Trump, Sunday's debate will be a mulligan of sorts. Clinton was widely seen as the winner of the first debate, and Trump has been at the center of controversy ever since.
Here's how each candidate is preparing for round two as of Wednesday.
Clinton off the trail
The Democratic nominee is off the campaign trail ahead of Sunday's debate, leaving media appearances and public rallies to her deep bench of high-profile surrogates, including her immediate family, the first family and Al Gore. Clinton does, however, have fundraisers slated for Wednesday and Thursday, including one that will be open to cameras.

I do hope one of these people weeps on TV and asks, “What’s wrong with this country?” What a glorious night it will be. The Clintons going down in flames and the media having to report their demise. Can’t wait!”

She can’t handle the local events of rubbing shoulders with the “unwashed masses”. Neither physically nor mentally.
Let’s all remember to pray for him.

Excellent suggestion.
If you are posting from any of the MSM sites, you are pretty much posting from Benghazi Clinton’s campaign. However, it you must, preface the posting with a “flying feces” alert.
Dear, dear Donald, please get some rest. Rest renews us. You do very well. Think how well you could do with more rest. The brain functions better when rested. Answers come to us quicker and clearer when rested. Dear Donald, even The LORD God rested on the seventh day. Please take His advice and remember to rest up.
Better a 70 year old vibrant and working hard than an enfeebled 68 year old who needs help getting up a short flight of stairs.
Trump had 2 campaign rallies plus a talk at a church in Nevada yesterday (10/5). He has a rally in Sandtown, NH at 7 Eastern tonight (10/6). I did hear he was taking Fri & Sat off to practice for the debate.
I don't think the writers know what the word "momentum" means.
