I have had the same thoughts...the format as designed will favor Hillary as it designed around the psychology of women in terms of how they talk and relate to each other. 2 minutes to answer, 2 minutes to rebut, then 11 minutes or so in a “facilitated” discussion back and forth. It is not a format that will favor a man used to making split decisions and uttering strong declaratory opinions but rather favor passive aggressive “process” chatter which I think will favor Hillary!
I do wish Trump had had debate prep with his daughter Ivanka. I think she has Hillary’s measure and would have given him the best prep in dealing with this type of Debate format. Condoleeza Rice might have been a good prepper for him as well!
