3rd Presidential Debate
3rd Presidential Debate
As the candidates went into the third and final debate, a new dynamic was emerging. Allegations,
lawsuits and controversies were threatening to bring down Trump's campaign. The other two candidates began to regain the upper hand with attack ads and negative campaigning (most notably the controversial Bush push-polling) and Trump slipped into 3rd place. Nevertheless, Trump kept his composure as he went into the third debate. He was looking to make a comeback, and Trump was no stranger to comebacks...
The third Presidential debate, in St. Louis, Missouri, was held under a "town hall" format. The town hall format Trump would excel at, but the question was whether it was enough to regain momentum and save his campaign at the 11th hour. Time would tell.
The first question of the third debate went to Trump about the allegations and lawsuits he was facing. The other candidates were hounding Trump relentlessly, and he didn't have a good start to the debate. In fact, he had an incredibly bad start and people were wondering if the magic was finally wearing off.
Was the "Trump Train" out of steam?
What is he doing, was what was on the minds of Trump's campaign staff as they watched frantically. Why was he letting them walk all over him? The thing is, he wasn't. There is a method to his madness and he was waiting for the time to strike.
It was Trump's turn to speak again. Here goes nothing...
The debate would continue on to other topics, and while Trump would talk about rebuilding inner cities and lowering taxes, what he said at the very start of the debate is what would be remembered.
It was here the tide truly turned. People began seeing Trump for who he really was, an independent thinker, a fighter and most importantly a winner.
And win or lose, American politics would be changed forever.
