Trump faces ‘do or die’ presidential debate

Chicago : Beleaguered Republican nominee Donald Trump has 90 minutes to save his faltering presidential campaign, US media said on Sunday ahead of his encounter with Hillary Clinton in a do or die debate, taking place soon after his obscene remarks about women surfaced.
The second edition of the three presidential debates to take place in St. Louis will cap one of the most extraordinary weekends in American political history, CNN commented and went on to say that Trump will have 90 minutes on Sunday night to save his presidential campaign. Republicans -- including vice presidential nominee Mike Pence -- are criticising Trump, 70, for his vulgar comments about advances he has made toward women in 2005 that came to light on Friday.
Ahead of the prime-time debate, American media gave an ever-growing list of senators and top Republican officials who want Trump replaced on the ticket. They included former Republican presidential candidate John McCain and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Trump insists he won't leave the race, and he and allies indicate he'll go on the attack against Clinton. One thing that is on everyone's mind is what will Trump say on the tape.
Although Trump has apologised, he has not yet addressed serious concerns raised by the hot mic video. Most notably, Trump's suggestion that he made aggressive advances toward women has raised grave new questions about whether he touched women without their consent, CNN reported.
Washington Post, which published a video on Friday showing Trump making crude remarks about sexual assault, said the beleaguered candidate was delivering conflicting messages: one of apology, insincere as it seemed to many viewers, and one of defiance. It was not clear that either message could rescue him after the expose.
After the first debate, which American media said was won by Hillary Clinton, Trump congratulated himself for refraining from bringing up Bill Clinton's indiscretions." "I'm really happy I was able to hold back on the indiscretions in respect to Bill Clinton. Because I have a lot of respect for Chelsea Clinton," he had said. When pressed on what he would have said, Trump had told CNN: "Maybe I'll tell you at the next debate." It now appears that Trump may do exactly that at the second debate.
