House Speaker Paul Ryan, who tussle with Joe Biden on the debate stage in 2012, had one piece of advice as GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump prepares to take the stage for the first time Monday: “Overprepare.”
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is the “consummate pro,” he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “This is new for Donald so I think he should probably overprepare for it … I hope he’s doing this.
But Trump doesn’t appear to be doing that. Reports suggest he’s done little traditional preparation – from poring over briefing books to mock debates. The New York Times reported Friday that Trump has been studying video of Clinton’s previous debate performances, and POLITICO reported last week that his team has been building a psychological profile of Clinton to exploit her tics and tells.
Ryan in 2012 debated Biden as Mitt Romney’s running mate at Centre College in Kentucky.
Asked about how he’s preparing, Mike Pence, also appearing on CBS, said Trump has been preparing for the debate “his whole life.”
