Sunday Morning Bobblehead Thread

The first presidential debate is almost here, so besides the usual parade of talking heads on the Sunday shows, all of the cable "news" networks are going live on the air this evening as well. The expectations for Trump are so low that basically, if he doesn't go out there and literally fling poop across the stage, the talking heads in the media will be spinning it as a "win" for Trump and telling all of us how "presidential" he was.

I expect his surrogates to be working the refs hard on the bobblehead shows as well. I'm curious how they're going to respond to what should be widespread revulsion to his campaign's decision to invite Gennifer Flowers to attend the first debate. Here's the line up for this weekend, courtesy of the Orlando Sentinel (check your local listings for times and stations in your area):

Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton's running mate, and Gov. Mike Pence, Donald Trump's running mate, talk to CBS' "Face the Nation" at 10:30 a.m. on WKMG-Channel 6. Other guests are House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. The program looks at polls from Missouri, Virginia and Colorado, and Bob Schieffer will weigh in.
