A defensive Donald Trump gave Hillary Clinton plenty of fresh material for the next phase of her presidential campaign on Tuesday, choosing to publicly reopen and relitigate some her most damaging attacks.

That is the thing somebody says when they have lost an argument.

She vowed to help those who already have student debt to refinance. At one point, he even needled Clinton over her having taken time off the campaign trail to prepare herself.

Trump has reached more than 41 percentage points in the four-way race – a level of support he has not reached since RealClearPolitics began tracking support for the four candidates in early June.

On 9 October, Mrs Clinton and Mr Trump will have competition for the attention of the US; NFL teams the Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants will be playing at the same time as the second debate.

The online poll found 56 per cent of American adults felt Clinton did a better job, compared with 26 per cent who believed the Republican did better.

“And yes, I did”, said Clinton, who has also been a USA senator from NY as well as first lady. It was a real problem.

At his Florida rally, the former “Celebrity Apprentice” host also proved that he can only smack talk the Democratic nominee when he’s not in the room with her.

Clinton’s event with Sanders took place on a university campus, but it was not open to students without an invitation.

Clinton saw her lead from the summer depleted to a dead heat with Trump in recent weeks.

The turnout for the most-anticipated presidential debate in modern memory was super-sized, but not Super Bowl-sized.

Monday night was a good one for Hillary Clinton. That leaves the public with only glimpses into what his tax returns contain. And she repeatedly criticized Trump for breaking tradition by refusing to release his tax returns, declaring, “There’s something he’s hiding”. “Without the mainstream media, she wouldn’t even be here, folks, that I can tell you”.

When Clinton said, “A man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes”, I heard, “A man provoked by a tweet should not be near the nuclear codes”.

Mrs Clinton claimed Mr Trump had refused to rent apartments to black people in the 1970s, decades before spreading a “racist lie” about Mr Obama. She probably did that Monday night, but mainly because Trump was bad.

JOHN YANG: In North Carolina, an energized Clinton relived a memorable moment from the debate. Though he insisted he’d done “very well, ” Trump accused moderator Lester Holt of going harder on him than Clinton.

Bonnie Corbitt has backed Trump since the primary and said the debate was underwhelming. However, his clear and decisive defeat by Clinton before a massive television audience is likely to blunt the momentum he had going into it. “You know a guy who would do that and crush our freedoms in one area will do it in others as well”.
