Woman who had affair with Bill Clinton could be front row for first Presidential debate

And you thought Jose Mourinho’s mind games were bad…

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have both taunted one another with threats of inviting enemies of their opponents to sit front row at the first Presidential debate in Long Island’s Hofstra University on Monday.

Clinton’s camp fired the first shot by saying they would invite billionaire businessman and fierceTrump-critic of Mark Cuban to sit in the front row.

Not one to shy away from a mudslinging fight, Trump tweeted saying that he would invite Gennifer Flowers to sit alongside Cuban. Flowers is a woman with whom Bill Clinton had an extra-marital affair over a 12-year period.

Flowers took to her Twitter to accept Trump’s informal invitation, but Trump’s Vice President Mike Pence was quick to say that Flowers would not be at the debate. It remains unclear as to whether or not she will actually be there, which is probably exactly what Trump is going for.

Polling aggregator 538 currently gives Hillary Clinton a 60% chance of winning the election in November. The first of three debates will take place tomorrow evening in New York, and will be moderated by Lester Holt.
