With the second of three presidential debates scheduled for Sunday night in St. Louis, people are making predictions on the outcome of the race between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and RepublicanDonald Trump.
One person ready to weigh in on the subject is Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly.
While attending the premiere of National Geographic’s Killing Reagan, a film based on a book of the same name co-authored by O’Reilly, he indicated that everything is riding on the upcoming debate.

“It’s after the second debate you’ll know,” O’Reilly said. “So on Monday or Tuesday of next week, you’ll pretty much have an idea of how it’s going to go down.”
He went on to say he believed Sunday’s debate could be Trump’s last opportunity to strengthen his campaign.
In the vice presidential debate Tuesday in Farmville, Va., most people considered Republican Mike Pence the winner over Democrat Tim Kaine.

While the win was a boost to the Republican ticket, many experts say Trump needs to win on Sunday to keep up the momentum.
Throughout his campaign, Trump has made a comparison between himself and Ronald Reagan.
O’Reilly disagrees, saying he “can’t see any Reagan in any politician” today.
“I think Reagan was a unique guy who brought a skill set to the governorship of California and the presidency, a trained actor who could sell his vision of the country very well,” the Fox host said.
In his opinion, none of today’s politicians has the ability to do what Reagan did.

However, O’Reilly also said he is able to see in Trump and Clinton the same commitment for what they feel is right that Reagan had as president.
“They’re not phonies. I don’t see either of them as phonies,” O’Reilly said.
When asked what one should expect from Sunday’s debate, he said, “I think the people are going to watch Trump, and they’re going to look for some things in him. If he shows them, it’s going to be tight. If he doesn’t, Hillary will win big.”
