Jason carroll, thanks so much. Donald trump did have a new policy proposal. Term limits for members of congress. Hes calling for a constitutional amendment. It would take a constitutional amendment that would restrict members to six years of service, senators, 12 years. On monday, they proposed an ethics on when the executive branch leave office. Cnn has learned new details about Donald Trumps preparation for the final debate. A source tells us that rnc chair Reince Priebus played the moderators with new Jersey Governor Chris Christie playing Hillary Clinton. This is a bit of a change doing mock scenarios. We had been told in the first debate, he did not do this. Did not want to do this, apparently coming in nor prepared. Hillary clinton, shes been off the Campaign Trail for several days, raising money and preparing for tonights debate. In the very first debate she
seemed to be trying to bait trump. At 9 00 p. M. Eastern, she is expected to employ a different strategy, according to cnn
