GLORIA BORGER: We're in a situation now too where the bar is even lower for Donald Trump than it was at the first debate. Because of his performance at the first debate for the last hour of it, let me say -- Kayleigh, I will give you the first 30 minutes of that debate. I thought did he well. I think now people are sort of going to say, well if he doesn't trip, he's done well. And I think that the challenge for Hillary Clinton here is very different. Hillary Clinton did really well at that debate. She has to show her humanity here. Donald Trump has to show how substantive he is.
