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.

(22,124 posts)MODERATOR: Secretary Clinton, you've seen the videotape of Mr. Trump's comments about groping women. How do you respond to this revelation?
HILLARY CLINTON: First, I'd like to thank the Commission for Presidential Debates for organizing this event. I'd also like to thank everyone here and at home watching this important part of our democracy. Lastly, thank you to the moderators for their thoughtful preparation for tonight's discussion. Regarding your question, I find Mr. Trump's comments extraordinary. Accordingly, I yield my time to him to explain himself. Thank you.
ETA: A tip o' the hat to SNL.

(54,770 posts)This is the new meme. Snopes calls it a "Mixture," but a lot is true -- although hyperbole. The one about the Mar A Lago is really BS. The rest of it was just publicity, or didn't really cost him a nickel.
