An MSNBC graphic outlining three keys for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton ahead of Monday night’s presidential debate is being lambasted on social media.
During a segment on Stephanie Ruhle’s morning program, the network posted a full-screen graphic saying the following items are crucial to Trump’s success:
– Stop Lying
– Show Humility
– Fill in the Gaps in his policy proposals
{mosads}For Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, who actually has higher untrustworthy numbers than Trump in most polls, MSNBC listed these keys:
– Sell Her Presidency (What She Would Do And How She Would Do It)
– Be The Clinton That Shines In Smaller Crowds
– Get Those Jokes Off, Adding Levity
The reactions have been swift:
MSNBC has had other issues with graphics lately, including one that ran Sunday showing Clinton with 68 percent in an ABC News/Washington Post poll on the question of which candidate better knows world affairs. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, had 42 percent — adding up to 110 percent.
The poll actually found Clinton at 57 percent and Trump at 41 percent, with 2 percent undecided.
Trump and Clinton face off in the first debate of the general election at 9 p.m. ET tonight.
