Viewership for the second debate between U.S. presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will not match the record-setting levels of their first meeting, figures show. “We are going to defeat ISIS”.

Clinton, the Democratic candidate, opened a double digit lead ahead of her Republican rival in the first poll following the revelation, at 46% to 35% on Monday.
A spokeswoman for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
During the debate on Sunday, Trump called for an investigation into Clinton.
Among only those respondents contacted after the debate, Clinton’s lead shrank to a seven point advantage in both a four-way matchup and in a head-to-head race – reflecting the same margin that Clinton showed in a mid-September NBC/WSJ poll. Luntz went on to say Trump is back in the race. Said Deputy Campaign Manager Dave Bossie: “Corey made this decision when he staged a stunt in front of the RNC without the knowledge or the approval of the Trump campaign”.
He sniffed and huffed his way through the debate, calling Clinton’s treatment of him “not nice” and insisting of her attacks, “I don’t deserve that”. She also wouldn’t confirm Trump’s plans, announced at the debate, to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton if he is victorious. He repeatedly called her a “liar”, labeled her the “devil” and contended she had “tremendous hate in her heart”.
More than half of likely voters said the video, in which Trump talked about groping women, should be a campaign issue. “Last time, at the first debate, we had millions of people fact-checking”.
“I am just exhausted of these guys folding up like a cheap tent just when the going gets tough”, pro-Trump protester Myron Pecs said outside the RNC as he waved a sign that read, “Fight for Trump”. Emails released by WikiLeaks last week showed Clinton told a group that it’s acceptable for a president to project differing positions in public and private.
Trump stayed on the offensive, attacking the moderators and disagreeing with his running mate on Russian Federation.
Mrs. Clinton vowed that the TPP does not meet her test of protecting American workers and national security and again said he would not sign it as president. They were even more surprised when those women took seats inside the hall, in front of some of the most prominent Democrats in the country.
She said her goal is for the United States to become the global leader in clean energy technology.

“When I hear something like that, I am reminded of what my friend, Michelle Obama, advised us all: When they go low, you go high”, Clinton said. Since then, a slew of Republican leaders, most notably Senator John McCain, have withdrawn their support of the candidate and have pledged to write in a protest vote against him.
