Punchlines: Debate prep may not be Donald Trump's thing

When it comes to prepping for presidential debates, most candidates study their opponents, bone up on policy and hold mock sessions. And according to reports, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will do all three in preparation for her first showdown with Republican nominee Donald Trump, slated for Sept. 26.

Trump on the other hand?  Late-night comic Jimmy Fallon summed up that campaign's strategy by saying the only mocking the candidate will do is of Clinton's pantsuit during the debate itself. Trump's preparation is essentially no (or at least very little) formal preparation at all, according to reports.  That doesn't surprise late-night comic Stephen Colbert, who keyed in on a recent comparison of Trump's debate goals to WrestleMania. Take a look in today's Punchlines, above.
