- 'Bill raped me and Hillary threatened me!' Trump brings FOUR Clinton 'sex victims' to last night's debate - to cast BOTH of them as sexual abusers
- The real winner of the second debate: Internet falls in love with Kenneth Bone, the undecided voter who asked energy policy question - and praises his outfit choice
The debate night that will be discussed for generations in Political Science classes - and Women's Studies seminars - ended with Republican Donald Trump landing more punches than Democrat Hillary Clinton, and successfully deflecting attention successfully away from a two-day-old crisis about graphic sexual language that threatened to derail his White House bid. In the first debate at Hofstra University 13 days earlier, Clinton sat back and let Trump hang himself. But on Sunday her quiet patience gave him room to roam and dominate. Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who has been among Trump's most forceful defenders, summed up the real estate tycoon's performance with two words in the post-debate spin room: 'home run.' Neither candidate appeared in the hall where reporters waited to grill them. It was the first time Trump did not do so after any debate he has taken part in in 2015 and 2016. Trump's wife, Melania, and daughter, Ivanka (both left), were seen on stage at the end of the town hall.
