Our country is highly anticipating the first debate in the general election tomorrow night. Yet, while we wait anxiously to make fun of the candidates as we have been prone to doing in this past year, what do we want to hear from the candidates? What are we expecting them to propose? Or, better yet, not propose? The New York Times most recent poll has clarified that Hillary Clinton is up by 3% in the polls, but recent graphs are showing that she has a 71% chance of winning the presidency, which is a very impressive number compared to Donald Trumps chance, which reads 29%.

How will the debate tomorrow change these numbers? The nation has seen Clinton keep quiet for almost a good month now. Other than the gossip concerning her health, she has stayed out of the limelight until now. This debate, while only the first of the general election, is the one the county has been waiting for. To be quite honest, those who have just jumped on the political bandwagon probably haven't watched anything else up until now. Our country has narrowed it down to the final two and we are all incredibly curious to see how it goes down.

CNN Politics recently reported on Trump's main six debate tactics. Perhaps it is too late to say it, but many would imagine that a politician would have some fairly solid methods before reaching it this far into the race. The first that they mention is face-to-face insults. Can we count on this to be intertwined into tomorrow evening's debate? Of course. We, as a nation, have come to expect little details such as these when pointing fingers at the two candidates. Even NBC News opened their article concerning the debate with stating that "The Hillary Clinton-Donald Trump debate on Monday night won't just be an argument over different policy visions. It will also be a contest about whether policy details are important at all." There is a high level of certainty concerning both Trump and Clinton, but very much so for the wrong reasons. As a young adult with a small sense of innocence still left in me in regards to the political field, I have kept my eyes wide open and have come to recognize that much of our nation will be watching the debate tomorrow night to laugh at the blunders and the negativity associated with the embarrassment.

Should an election ever come to this? When major news sites and stations are mocking a candidates tactics and the general public is more concerning with the assumed lies associated with ones health, are we proposing a good stance for a general election debate? The message we are sending out to the rest of the world with the humor we find in what could potentially be the biggest and most important debate of the year, as many will form a decision afterwards, is not only concerning, but it is utterly disappointing.
