Donald Trump and the Third Debate

Page 1 of 3

The third and final presidential debate, in Nevada, Las Vegas, was probably the most heated of the three. During this debate, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump told you exactly what they would do as President. Clinton came in prepared and ready to put all past mistakes behind her while Trump came in unprepared and ready to throw insults at Hillary. Prior to the debate, Hillary was held down because of the debacle with the WikiLeaks’s release of campaign chairman John Podesta’s hacked email account.
