The stage was still getting set for the second presidential debate Sunday, and students at Washington University in St. Louis were already voicing their opinions of Republican Donald Trump. When the stage lights go on, Trump must explain WHY he is a better alternative to his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton... But he must also show an apologetic side to stop the Republican backlash against him, after he was heard making lewd comments against women in a recently released video. Some Republicans, like John McCain, have withdrawn their support for his candidacy over the 2005 video that emerged on Friday.

Many are bracing for the boxing gloves to come out during this town hall-style debate.
