U.S Debate Night

Image
Republican presidential nominee yesterday held on at logger heads with the democratic presidential candidate as the duo came face to face once again for the third time running, preaching ceaselessly to the American people why they deserve their vote come November 8. The Republican nominee who had had a rough campaign for the past two weeks ever since the second presidential town hall debate held at St. Louis, looked unassumingly calm as Mrs. Clinton took the game to him in a much more fierce but tactical approach. Flipping the script, she turned herself into his relentless tormentor, condescending to him repeatedly and deploying some of his own trademark tactics against him. While Mr. Trump unholy poise yesterday raises eyebrow about his collapsing campaign strategy, Mrs. Clinton's resilience on stage yesterday proved her self worth experience as the most qualified person fit enough for the job at the white house. The duo who locked horns on Supreme Court and the Second Ame

After watching Trump's debate at the Washington State University in St.Louis, Jessica Leeds said she felt infuriated seeing the Republican nominee lying over questions of inappropriate conducts towards women. “I wanted to punch the screen,” she said in an interview in her apartment.   “He was like an octopus,” Leeds said. “His hands were everywhere.” Jessica admitted to Trump's treachery with her on-board a plane.  Also, Rachel Crooks of Ohio told the Times that Trump assaulted her in 2005 when she ran into him near an elevator at Trump Tower, where she worked as a 22-year-old receptionist for a real estate company.

She said that Trump assaulted her three months after the Access Hollywood video was recorded, when she went to his Florida home at the Mar-a-Lago club to interview him and his wife Melania about their first anniversary.    “Our photo team shot the Trumps on the lush grounds of their Florida estate, and I interviewed them about how happy their first year of marriage had been. When we took a break for the then-very-pregnant Melania to go upstairs and change wardrobe for more photos, Donald wanted to show me around the mansion. There was one ‘tremendous’ room in particular, he said, that I just had to see,” she wrote. “We walked into tha
