Eric Trump is his fathers son
I see what you mean now. Just watched his effort on CNN last night. He's even more annoying than Donald.

Hard to imagine anyone could be, but he is more annoying, and had about 40 years less practice

Why is the right in America in red and the left in blue, when in Europe red is left wing?
I don't think the parties ever had colours - I think I read it was brought in by the tv companies with colour tv as they had to show some difference on a map. It may even have been as simple as 'Republican and red both start with R'

The Atlantic was founded in 1860. It has only ever endorsed 3 Presidential candidates. Now it turns on Trump

"His affect" - WTF!
I am in favour of language developing and changing, but sometimes changes don't seem to be improvements, and the expanded use of verbs as nouns often looks awkward. "The build", "the reveal" and, ugliest of all, "the invite", are now in common use, but I have never seen "the affect" used in this way. I don't know whether The Atlantic has just invented it. It looks odd to me but I guess we might have to get used to seeing this "invent".

Leaks indicate that Clinton was happy with the performance of the 'loser' in the VP debate, while Trump was not happy with the 'winner'. While Pence has been given the win on points, we are told that Kaine entered the debate with the objective of undermining Trump further, rather than winning the debate. The VP is often required to sacrifice their own best interest for the good of the President, and it seems that Kaine may have already started. This may be a reflection of the Democrats' increasing confidence that they are going to win, just as Pence's disloyalty shows that he may have little expectation of having to work with Trump after next month.

While Pence went through the standard debate prep, locking himself away for a week with one-time front-runner Scott Walker (Gov of Wisconsin) and having four mock debates, there are reports that Trump has learned nothing from his mauling and, despite all the suggestions for changes, is doing nothing different for the next debate. The debate team sat around again at the weekend, just the eight of them this time (!) - Trump, Giuliani, Priebus, Christie, Conway, Steve Miller, Bannon and Kushner, with Christie taking a lead role (as he should).

Not even considered the young voter turnout in this one, given it was a big bone of contention with Brexit I reckon it could be in this un.

Hello, this is Lyin' Ted Cruz.
This humiliation is my punishment for crossing Donald Trump.
I hate myself right now.
I have no principles any more.

Cheers, how heavily vetted are the attendees? Do the candidates know any of the questions in advance? Aside from the obvious ones ofc

The people at the one I watched were serving members of the forces, and relatives of ex servicemen/women.
I'd imagine they're quite heavily vetted, given it's the POTUS attending.
However, they might have all been actors

Gallup has been given the job of providing the audience (who are all supposed to be uncommitted voters), so I guess it depends on how much faith you have in their independence.
Some of the questions are kind of known this time, as they are trying out having the public submit questions and vote on them. The top 30 will be "considered" by the moderators for conclusion. Presumably, they have not guaranteed the top three or whatever will be asked in case someone asks about The Simpsons or votey mcvoteface and everyone piles on. It's gotta be a lock that some questions will be asked from here, but are they really going to be questions that wouldn't be asked anyway?
If you want to, you can vote or even ask your own question here:
