Hillary Clinton is doing more debate prep at a hotel near her Westchester home today, including mock rehearsals featuring an "affable Trump," NBC News reports.
The planning has evolved away from a focus solely on a more caustic rival, according to reporting from NBC's Kelly O'Donnell. Sources say, "We are betting now that most of our preparations are into dealing with the possible curve-ball that Trump comes out being more subdued."

Yep. Great insight. Hope someone has eyes on them tonight. Follow them, find the mike. No way she is winging it alone on the answers. Dr. Diazepam may be on a second mike to talk her back to reality if she shuts down.
This is the point that really has backfired on the Clinton campaign. They spent so much time in the primaries and afterwards belittling Trump, mocking him, minimizing his chances, and demonizing him that once they appear on the same stage together and greet each other in a friendly way, Hillary will come across as a phony for her extreme rhetoric.
It's sort of a catch-22; if someone is deplorable, you shouldn't treat them with respect-but if you come out acting rude, you're the one that appears deplorable. They have put themselves in a box from the outset.
Hillary is calculating which of her false personalities to deploy, depending on what Trump does. This captures exactly what is wrong with her and why she is not a leader.
Trump, by contrast, is comfortable being himself.
That shows how full of herself she is when she is on foreign ground.....that’s her element and comfort zone among elite leaders who give her what she believes she is worthy of as she believes herself to be above the ordinary man.
She probably had the oxygenated blood transfusion several days ago.
....”Trump, by contrast, is comfortable being himself”....
That’s exactly right....however the audience can throw him as he is ‘very tuned into’ whatever audience he is in front of......which is why Hillary is being careful to plant specific people there....they know this too.
Hopefully the “entertainment” side of Trump will not be as sensitive to that and just keep on message and stroking away at Hillary.
It is very easy to over prepare for a debate, and most people do.
They get so involved with just the facts and figures of their side of the issue or topic that they have a tendency to lose all mental flexibility.
ISSUE; Freedom of speech.
TOPIC inside that issue: is cussing OK.
The people who get fixated on a single topic have trouble adapting to the tangents that topic can take and still be part of the issue.
A good debater should be able to argue both sides of an issue to a successful conclusion, either pro or con.
In math (for me at least), I found it best just to know the constants, you will have to deal with, and let the variables do what they will according to the rules.
In debating; know the subject matter to the best of your ability, don’t sweat the details (people won’t remember them anyway).
In Math; know the the constants, deal with the variables as they come up.
