Between donald trump and Hillary Clinton and if anyone thought donald trump was going to be con triet tonight, they were dead wrong. Wrong big time t started with a bombshell. Remember, friday, 4 00 eastern time, two days ago when 11 year old video surfaced of trumpru making vulgar remarks about women. He has since apologized by that apology left so many people unsatisfied, even makers much tictacs felt they had to releases statement. Now he is on the offensive. A political stunner, trump gathered three women who claimed misconduct by former president bill clinton. He also invited those women, they are here inside the debate hall. Hillary clinton is facingg questions too about hacked pass ages that were released to her speaking to wall street. She it talks about the necessity to have those public and private positions on contentious issues. John dickerson, nobody thought this night would start like this. No matter how crazy a a debate night it forces decoror up on the mesesiness but we
Statement on this, but in minutes its about to change. And what will she say about the new Clinton Emails just revealed . Tonight, round two. The rematch. It all starts now, live from Washington University in st. Louis. The president ial debates, comoderated by Martha Raddatz. Now reporting, george stephanopoulos. Good evening. Strap on your seat belts. The race for president is about to take a strange new turn. Donald trump, still reeling from the video release, saying hes going to retaliate. There was a scene about an hour ago, trump at a press conference with women who he says have c e accused bill clinton of sexual harassment. Tom llamas, hes going scorched earth. Donald trump has always told me hes a counterpuncher, but this is the move he thinks can save his campaign. And the women, theyre not just there, theyre sitting in the front row. This could set off other Republican Leaders, still on the fence. Yes, the women who accused bill clinton are right over my shoulder. But Party L
That sometimes sets americans against one another and instead make big goals and ive set forth some big goal, getting the economy to work for everyone, not just those at the top. Making sure we have the best Education System from preschool to college and making it affordable and so much else. If we set those goals and go together to try to achieve them, theres nothing in my opinion that america cant do. So thats why i hope that we will come together in this campaign. Obviously, im hoing to earn your vote, hoping to be b elected in november and i can promise you, i will work with every american. I want to be the president for all americans. Regardless of your political beliefs, where you come from, what you look like, your religion. I want us heal our country and bring it together. Our children and grandchildren deserve. Thank you. You have two minutes. Well, i actually agree with that. I agree with everything she said. I began this campaign because i was so tired of seeing such foolish
Over. If he is to change, has to do it tonight and its a huge debate. Do you bring bill clinton or try to apologize to the tape and focus on issues. We will about to find out. That is about what we underscore. It is not about him reaching out to undecided voters, but making sure his own party doesnt abandon him in the way that matters the most. Resources and manpower. If he doesnt do well, it is possible they will pull the plug on the trump campaign. Conversations about trying to get him to quit the race. He said he is staying in the race. His wife said he apologized to her. This new tape where he had a conversation about his daughter that is offensive. When you think about the gutter we have been in and the conversation, how much of thais transfers sn 30 days from election day. You see the former president of the United States and Chelsea Clinton as well as the son. Donald and eric trump and the fact that so many family members are here. You would think that would convince them to ste
Height despairty to allow. Its worth reiterating. One of the unknowns is that we dont know if the candidates will each be able to bring themselves to shake hands with other. Theres always difficulty. Even to the point of personal difficulty. When politics gets this heated. Politics has never bf at this level includes one Candidates Campaign spending the day calling the other candidates husband a rapist, which is what the Trump Campaign did today. Two days after a tape was pub lushed which one candidate bragged and later described locker room brag doeshness about forcing himself on women because of his star power. Its not a particularly happy time judging by the faces in the arena. Notably absent, someone weve seeb in the family section, trumps soninlaw, who we have ever reason to believe has only grown in influence over these past few days, while Political Team trump has been rocked by this videotape scandal. You see the former president. Hell be impossible to miss from where the candi
