“You see the personal attacks, she’s right back to attacking Mr. Trump on previous things that were said or were alleged to be said”.

“Look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant and they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense”, Trump said just eight years ago.
The first of three, the debate was the most watched in USA history with 84 million people tuning in, according to a Nielsen tally.
“That aspect of character, applied to the test of presidential temperament and comportment and the expectations that voters have about how the most powerful person in the world should behave under pressure, will not help him”.
Trump is paying attention. Did you notice that? Clinton asked at an event in Coral Springs.
Giuliani added that if Clinton didn’t understand what her husband had been up to, she’s “too stupid to be president”. The poll showed 42 percent supported Clinton while 38 percent supported Trump. The majority of those feature raw footage of him rather than others opining on his words and actions. Through this week, his campaign had only four different ads – three of which swat at Clinton, including one that highlights her “basket of deplorables” comment about his supporters.
On Thursday, Trump spoke of the Clintons’ “sordid” history and made a reference to Bill Clinton’s impeachment, which stemmed from his affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. During the debate he seemed to say it’s because they lack context.
“It’s hard, and when you have a situation like that and you know it’s bad and you think that 100 million people are watching, what do you do, stop the show?” “Some of it’s said in entertainment”. “I wasn’t president of the United States”, he told the Times when asked about his affair with Marla Maples when he was married to Ivana Trump.
The 30-second spot debuted late last week and has already aired 4,000 times.
Clinton is stressing that her plans will solve the kind of kitchen-sink problems facing American families – the high cost of childcare, mounting student debt and unpaid family leave.
Among those who are expected to take part in the November 8 general election, 34 percent said they felt that the debate changed their view of Clinton in a positive way, compared with 19 percent who said the same of Trump.
US presidential debates have historically been seen as a crucial test of candidates’ poise and policies.
“He’s being Trump. I don’t have any comment beyond that”, said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a top supporter. “I think at the end of the day it’s jobs, number one, national security, it’s immigration, it’s repealing and replacing Obamacare”, Zinke said.
Clinton Campaign Manager Robby Mook told CNN this week that Clinton is “ready for anything”. Yet Trump’s aggressive attacks on the media and complaints about unfair treatment have effectively guaranteed that the moderators will come under scrutiny from conservatives. Trump did not mention the tweets Friday evening as he rallied supporters in MI.
Machado, the Venezuela-born actress, has been center stage in the campaign since Clinton noted in Monday’s debate that Trump had mocked her publicly for gaining weight after she won Miss Universe, a pageant then owned by the businessman.
“Hillary was an enabler”, Trump told the New York Times on Friday.
In a nod to the concerns expressed by some Trump allies that he was insufficiently prepared for the first faceoff, Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee released a survey meant to engage supporters online.

Clinton’s campaign has highlighted Machado’s status as a new US citizen and her plans to cast her first vote for the former secretary of state.
