Always a lot of tension and pressure in a president ial campaign,. This president ial campaign is negative and they are expecting it to follow the form of the first two. John it is worth noting that theld trump wanted to bring accusers into the hole and put them in a place where bill clinton had to walk past them. The Clinton Campaign wanted to avoid anything further on Donald Trumps part. This time, he does have sarah palin here and Barack Obamas halfbrother, a strange choice, but there is some reason to be worried about the things that donald trump might try. Will be a 90minute session that might go over a little bit. Chris wallace is the moderator for the entire 90 minutes. The candidates have a fair amount of leeway to bring up things that they would like to talk about. Trump came into the spin room after the first debate, not after the second debate, and no clear word on whether he will come in tonight. We will be back after the debate with a full wrapup analysis and hopefully som
Orbit tonight. The Clinton Campaign attempts to reach hyperspeed and we are in an alternate universe. First Donald Trumps supernova of suspense. Off thenee walked debate stage last night having created one megagalactic problem for himself when hes refused to say he would accept the result of the election. Today in ohio, here is how he tried to clean it up. Mr. Trump i would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States that i will totally accept the results of this great and historic president ial election if i win. Would accept a clear election result. But i would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result. John so, mark, with his efforts today, do you believe that donald trump has put this matter behind him or not . Mark he compounded one unforced error with another. The story will live on the hope it in the absence of there are no more debates, i do not expect any other
Hes an important moment in the campaign. Really, it is a lasteffort by donald trump to turn the momentum around in a situation where polls have been up side down against hip. However, theres a lot of ammo on the table, if you will. The wikileaks emails, the fbi documents, the project videotape, all of it raising serious questions about the clinton campaign. But weve seen trump turn the polls around time and time again, even after the Democratic National convention, he turned the polls around. Hillary clinton collapsed on camera, and by the first debate they were neck and neck, and then trump stumbled over the former miss universe. His numbers started to go down, but prior to that he had gone up and tighter and then down at least three times. The question is whether he can do something tonight to get that momentum restarted for himself and even this race out. Theres tension in here. We saw the families come in. They didnt shake hands. They sat down. We dont know if the nominees will sha
