• Speaking to Anderson Cooper in a telephone interview tonight, Hillary Clinton told CNN that she did not faint subsequently she left a ix/11 memorial result early on Sunday, and that the American people will presently know more about her wellness status afterward her diagnosis with pneumonia. "I'm feeling so much better, and patently I should have gotten some rest sooner," Clinton said. "Like a lot of people I thought I could simply keep going forward and power through information technology, and patently that didn't work out and so well."
• Hither's a Donald Trump suggestion from a telephone interviewer this morning that we don't desire to permit get uncontemplated: Trump has suggested that – because he sees it as inevitable that the debates will be unfair for him– he and Clinton conduct an unmoderated debate:
  

• The fact is that they're gaming the system, and I recall, maybe, we should have no moderator. Let Hillary and I sit down at that place and only contend because I think the organization is being rigged then it's gonna be a very unfair debate, and I can come across information technology happening right now because everyone'south proverb that he was soft on Trump. Well now the new person's gonna endeavour to be really difficult on Trump just to prove, y'all know, the establishment what he tin can do. Then I think it's very unfair what they're doing. Then I think we should have a debate with no moderators — just Hillary and I sitting there talking."

• Nosotros kind of similar the idea. What do you think?
