Cooper, Raddatz set to make first questions of debate about Trump tape

The first set of questions at Sunday night's presidential debate will be about Donald Trump's vulgar comments on a newly published 2005 videotape, and the fallout from it.

And Hillary Clinton will get the first question.

Moderators Anderson Cooper of CNN and Martha Raddatz of ABC have adjusted their plan for the debate in light of the Trump tape, sources told CNNMoney.

While everything is subject to change until air time, an ABC source said -- perhaps confirming the obvious -- that Trump and Clinton will both be prompted to address the matter.

A coin toss by the Commission on Presidential Debates determined that Clinton will speak first.

He's his own worst enemy. She should say the comments and actions they implied were disgusting and pivot to something else.

that tRump was bragging not only about being a sexual predator, but also skating because he's a "star", acting as if he's entitled to have any woman he wants, even without her consent. So what if she's married (that's his predatory attitude).

7. Yeah, the "I'm a star, I can do what I want" attitude should disgust some of the people

so far fooled into seeing him as a 'regular guy' who "stands up to the elite" or is an "outsider". Trump oozes privilege, a sense of entitlement, and a lack of regard for anyone he sees as 'inferior'.
