GOP Overtly Hyping 'Talented' and 'Adroit' Hillary in Pre-Debate Spin
With Monday's pivotal presidential debate looming, both campaigns are engaged in furious pre-spin, seeking to set expectations that will benefit their candidate. Hillary Clinton's camp is doing everything it can to lower expectations for her, reportedly privately fretting that they can't, with many liberals complaining that the media's consensus regarding Trump's actual low expectations is only setting him up to exceed them. Republicans, meanwhile, are highlighting Clinton's vast resume of public service, arguing that of course she should dominate on policy details.
