A lot of questions will be asked (and hopefully answered) when Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton take the debate stage less than 48 hours after secret audiotapes of the GOP nominee making lewd sexual comments surfaced.

Will moderators ask about Trump’s vulgar comments? Will Trump bring up Bill Clinton’s past scandals? Will Trump come prepared this time? We’ll know shortly.

The second presidential debate is live on Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET from Washington University in St. Louis with ABC’s Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper co-moderating.

The debate will be town hall style, in which half of the questions will be posed directly by citizen participants and the other half will be posed by the moderator based on topics of broad public interest as reflected in social media and other sources. Trump and Clinton will each have two minutes to respond, and there will be an additional minute for the moderators to facilitate further discussion.
