Sharper Point: Here’s what’s going to happen during the second presidential debate

Oct 7, 2016, 5:29 AM | Updated: 11:12 am

There’s a little more than a month until the general election and, between now and then, we’ll get to watch two more presidential debates.

The next one is Sunday and the country will once again watch as presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton square off in the national spotlight. This time, the pair will speak in a town hall-style event at Washington University in St. Louis.

Half the questions will come from the audience and the other half will come from moderators Martha Raddatz and Anderson Cooper.

Trump and Clinton will each be given two minutes to respond, but let’s be honest, that’s not going to happen.

They’re going to run rampant with whatever they want to say and probably won’t wait long to start ripping each other apart.

If you’re planning to watch football or, I don’t know, brush your hair, instead of watching the second debate on Sunday, I put together this preview. It should save you some time.

You can always turn into Arizona’s Morning News on Monday anyway. We’ll recap it all for you.
