Debate officials have released the details of Monday night's presidential debate between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.
The first debate of the election season will be moderated by NBC News' Lester Holt at Hofstra University in Hempstead New York.
The 90-minute debate will be broken into six, 15 minute "pods," the Commission on Presidential Debates announced on Sunday.
Clinton will receive the first question. She will have two minutes to answer and Trump will have two minutes to respond.
That will be followed by 10 minutes of open conversation and debate.
Some of the rules were made by agreement between the campaigns and some were decided by coin toss but CPD wouldn't say which ones.
The debate will be held before an audience of 1,000 viewers in the hall. The three largest ticket blocks are going to the two campaigns and Hofstra. The university said they are giving all of their tickets to students, which they say they also did in 2008 and 2012.

This is a scripted event, she will be very well prepared for.
I'm sure NBC will have given her campaign the nature and intent of the questions beforehand so she can have a coherent and cogent answer.
Most questions will be softball and structured in a way to attack Trump...
Even if Hillary and Trump tie, the media will report it in a way to make it seem like Hillary won...
Basically the best Trump can do in the media is tie even when he wins. ...
Prepare yourselves...
“Mrs. Clinton, how do you feeeeel about the poor children who go to bed hungry?”
“Trump, who is the Swedish ambassador to Khazistan and what are you gonna do to stop the effects of climate chang there??? Oh! You don’t KNOW the name?!?!? Please tell us how you got to be so unfit for this office?”
Commission on Presidential Debates...... all you want to know

I recall the debate where Gore sighed repeatedly and stalked Bush.......I don’t care what the pundits thought, real Americans gave it to Bush. There will indeed be a difference between pundits announcing winner and Americans choosing who they want. We shall see.
Exactly. This is what we get when Hillary Clinton voters “moderate” POTUS / VPOTUS debates...total cheating in favor of the ‘RATS.
So, this means Trump has the close?
I’m already making popcorn.
Only one moderately conservative person on the commission (Daniels) — the rest are Leftists and RINOs (Danforth & Snowe).
“Thats it. She has the questions, is well prepared and will come out of the gate like gangbusters with a well prepared answer.”
I agree, but what she cannot prepare for is Trumps 2 minutes and the remaining 10 or 11 minutes of open conversation. No matter what her well rehearsed prepared statements will be, she will look like a fool after Trump is done.
Trump will simply take charge of the conversation, she will show anger, start to screech, her eyes will be out of alignment, start to cough, lose balance, fall off the elevated podium, and off to the ER!
I’d say about the 3rd question.
Trump’s a big boy.
Hillary wears big girl pants suits, or car seat covers or whatever,but she needs all the special treatment she can get. Anyhow, short of passing out, we already know they will crown her the winner of the debates.
No matter what he says they already have their responses pre-written and ready. They will all repeat whatever the buzzwords and or buzz phrases over and over.
Do the students know that Lester Holt does not have a college degree and makes 4.5 million a year? If he were a conservative academia and the elites would be skewering him.
“Boxers or Briefs and the follow up is, What color?
In Hillary’s case, white in the front, multi-colored behind.
Here is the first question. “Madam Secretary of State,Why is Donald Trump hate women? “
Look for this crowd to get totally out of control and wild for clinton ( notwithstanding her crimes and lies). There is only one way for us to check who won. It will be the Drudge poll which has never been wrong yet!! This will be an online poll of over 500,000!! + or Minus zero. zero
“It will be the Drudge poll which has never been wrong yet!! This will be an online poll of over 500,000!! + or Minus zero. zero”
Well, Drudge is considered a right wing site (among the left and even some self-proclaimed “moderates” a lunatic right wing site!) so one would expect that Trump would win there by a wide margin.
Frankly, I’m not sure any site or news channel can be believed this time around. I’ll believe the results on election day, I guess... but only if we win. If we lose, I’ll believe the left cheated (hell, if we WIN I’ll STILL believe they cheated - it’s in their nature to be dishonest).
Does trump get the close? Last word?
Chuck Todd doesn’t have a college degree either. Doesn’t stop him from judging more educated Republicans every day of the week.

Lester Holt, moderator of the first 2016 presidential debate, has selected the topics

each of the topics listed above.

She doesn’t need to prepare for the questions. She will wear an earpiece and experts on her team have formulated answers or can come up with good ones on the fly.
Totally. She is enjoying these low expectations. When have we ever had a presidential debate where, to win, you simply have to not fall onto the floor, seizing and vomiting?
Pardon my correction to the article:
Clinton will receive the first question in advance. She will have two minutes to answer and Trump will have two minutes to respond.
Hillary getting testy: "Endangered feces? Yeah, I saved Bill from all those accusations. Once I'm elected, I won't need to keep Bill around."
Moderator: "Hillary, we meant species, not feces..."
Hillary: "I knew that, I never said feces, would never say that. Did I mention how wonderful Bill is?" To Trump: "Same question, what would you do?"
Trump: "I've always liked endangered species, I know a lot of them and they respect me. I'll make sure they're protected. Incidentally, my opponent did say the other word, not species, and she's always deep in it." Moderator: "Can we get a medical team up here, Hillary is having a seizure!"
