People are expected to tune into the first presidential debate tonight. In fact, that is an understatement. Record numbers are gearing up for one of the most anticipated presidential debates in recent memory, with 100 million people expected to watch. People are on the edge of their seats to be "Drumpf" and "Crooked Hillary"

It is not surprising to me that these two candidates are going to be pulling in unfathomable numbers in viewership. The truth is that these two candidates are some of the most unpopular candidates in the past 40 years, with people having difficulty comprehending which candidate they like (or hate) more. Although there has been slander on both sides, I think that a large portion of the American public does not really understand the differences in policies and values between Clinton and Trump. Thus, I find positive light in the fact that there is going to be high viewership. The American public will gain information about both candidates tonight and hopefully can be more knowledgable. I find it essential that the American public is informed, no matter where on the political spectrum someone lands.
