The Bars That Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Will Have to Surpass in the Presidential Debates

These are going to be quite the debates and the bar for success for the candidates will be set in ways never seen before.

For Donald Trump:

If he manages to get through all three debates with only minor insults of politically correct groups, the debates will be considered a success by his camp

For Hillary Clinton

If she actually is able to stand during the three debates without going into a major coughing spell,  a muscle freeze or a head or body shaking episode, the debates will be considered a success by her camp.
