Democrat Hillary Clinton has released her tax returns to the public, while Republican Donald Trump has not.

In an auditorium featuring an audience who had been warned to stay silent, Clinton still managed to draw cheers when she accused Trump of being racist.
For Clinton’s campaign, the challenge will be turning a debate-night victory into sustained success – pressing the same themes in the days ahead as she attempts to reverse Trump’s climb in national and battleground state polls. Her answer was a terse “No”.
Some said Trump was condescending from the start of the debate.
Some doctors say just watching how the candidates handle a physically demanding campaign trail and the cognitive finesse needed to debate can give voters a good idea of health.
“She doesn’t have the look, she doesn’t have the stamina”, he said. These were not selective samples with any merit, and in no way could they accurately measure whether the more than 81 million people who tuned in for the debate thought Trump did better than Hillary Clinton.
Trump’s defensive tactics were also off-putting for many voters. The three have had nine wives combined.
On Tuesday, after a less-than-stellar debate performance, Donald Trump returned to using one of his favorite measurements to mask his missteps on Monday night – the polls.
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton did a slightly better job of that, he said, by telling stories about an architect and a hotel worker.
A 41 percent plurality of voters say Donald Trump’s business background is getting the right amount of attention, while just 23 percent say it’s getting too much and 35 percent too little.
But you want to know the truth?
“I have a feeling I’m going to be blamed for everything”, Clinton, the first woman to win the presidential nomination of a major USA political party, said during one tough exchange.
“Under the fourth Geneva Convention, when you are an occupying power, you are a caretaker, you are administering the territory”, Laurie Blank, director of Emory University’s International Humanitarian Law Clinic, told the Journal.
That restraint didn’t last. When final results are in, the audience for her first presidential debate will more than double what her husband, former President Bill Clinton, received for his last presidential debate in 1996 (36.3 million viewers). That’s exactly why campaigns always discover a sudden modesty about their candidates’ abilities by attempting to “low-ball” expectations prior to the debate: They can claim afterward that a candidate vastly exceeded expectations, and therefore won.
His backers got the message.
He said Clinton’s arguments were disingenuous. “And I do agree with (Clinton) that’s not really something you want when someone has their hand on the nukes, even though I know it’s not that simple”.
ISIS continues to control some oil facilities in Syria, though that country is not an oil-rich state, producing only between 30,000 to 40,000 barrels daily, according to a report in Forbes Magazine online.
Meyers made room to point out flaws for both candidates, although he was certainly harsher on Trump’s performance than Clinton’s.
Said spokesman Brian Fallon, “She’s not wired in the same way he is, prone to outbursts”. She said she hasn’t decided who to vote for but wishes the candidates would discuss issues instead of sniping about who’s most vigorous. And reminders of them only boost her popularity.
