The issue of health care gives you an idea of how weak Trump’s campaign has been. Although more Americans than not dislike Obamacare, the majority of Americans trust Clinton over Trump on health care. A stronger Republican candidate might have been able to take advantage of most Americans’ negative view of Obamacare, but Trump couldn’t.

Trump objects to Wallace’s question implying that his plan would add to the debt. But pretty much all independent experts say Wallace is right and Trump is wrong. Even if you accept the analysis of the Tax Foundation, a conservative group, Trump’s plan would add trillions to the debt over the next decade.

When the Houston Chronicle, deep in the heart of Texas, says this, you know you've done gone & messed up, Trump.

This will turn out to have been a terrible, terrible blunder by Trump. Bet he walks this back in the next few days. If the press doesn't hammer him on this they should turn in their credentials.

Lol...and Bill Maher ignores the fact that 70% of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track.

Don behaved better tonight than in the previous two debates (with some significant slips - "wrong") but the content was just repetitive hot button words and he totally avoided answering questions.

 

If you had the tv on mute he may have looked like he made a huge turn around from last week ... but if you were listening I just don't see how you can go to bed thinking he knows anything about what it would really take to do this job.

Just one of many polls showing wrong track in the 60s up over 70% in Obama's tenure including this past year.

And here is the average. AP just had a 70% wrong track showing in September.
