I think either one should strive for "mistake free", but I don't see that happening. They say there are a LOT of undecideds that will ultimately make up their minds based on the debates, not sure how much of that pans out. Both of these candidates will be trying to point out just how bad the other is, which will then open the other up to hit them in return. Or will this debate magically turn into an adult discussion of sorts?
It's also this debate sees more than the super bowl, with perhaps 100 million tuning in!

Frenzy builds for epic debate
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — Buckle up: Debate day is finally here.
The anticipation for Monday night’s face-off between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton has reached a fever pitch, with many expecting a defining moment in one of the wildest elections of modern times.
Trump needs a big win on Monday if he is to get on a path to the White House, with polls showing a narrow but meaningful lead for Clinton.
But Clinton’s edge could be gone in an instant if Trump puts in a strong performance in the first debate or if she makes a disastrous misstep. Conversely, Trump’s chances of victory could plummet if he fails to convince voters he’s presidential material.
The clash, which will be held at Hofstra University in this Long Island town just outside New York City, is expected to draw the largest TV audience of any presidential debate in history.
The record is currently 80.6 million viewers, which was reached during a debate in 1980 between President Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. Speculation is rife that the Clinton-Trump clash could draw a U.S. audience of 100 million or more.
The anticipation was tangible Sunday, with cable news networks already broadcasting from the site, a cavernous media center filling with hordes of reporters from the U.S. and beyond and tight security.
The debate takes place against a backdrop of racial tension, with police killings of black men in Tulsa, Okla., and Charlotte, N.C., sparking protests in recent days.
Clinton had planned to visit Charlotte on the eve of the debate but later canceled the trip, with her campaign citing a desire not to stretch the city's resources. Trump took to Twitter to accuse her of "bad judgement" in the episode.
Beyond that issue, the debate is likely to take in conventional subjects such as jobs, the economy and national security — the final topic an especially pertinent one in the wake of the bombings in New Jersey and New York.
The themes of the debate, selected by moderator Lester Holt of NBC News, will be “America’s Direction,” “Achieving Prosperity” and “Securing America.”
For the candidates, however, the real goal will be damaging the opponent while avoiding disaster during the 90 minutes at the podium.
