MSNBC unveiled graphics on Monday of the respective "tasks" that presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton need to accomplish at their first debate, including that Trump needs to "stop lying."
MTV national correspondent Jamil Smith appeared on MSNBC to discuss what the candidates need to accomplish Monday night during the debate, and the left-leaning network provided visual displays of his takes.
"First thing’s first, he needs to stop lying," Smith said. "He needs to respect the intelligence of the American people."
In addition to not lying, Trump needs to "show humility" and "fill in the gaps in his policy proposals."
Smith called Clinton "the only serious candidate in the race," and for Clinton, she needs to "sell her presidency," "be the Clinton who shines in a smaller crowd," and "get those jokes off, adding levity," according to the screen.
"She needs to wrap some humor around her criticism of Trump, to make him look more ridiculous, rather than, say, more outrageous," he said.
