Ka-Ching: A Donald Trump Timeline
October was debate time and Trump spent much of his time, when not campaigning practicing . Many commentors predicted that Obama would easily beat Trump in all three debates but Trump was eager to prove this was not the case. Also Guilliani's critics became more vocal, people on the right such as Rick Santorum openly critized Trump's choice because he was pro abortion but it would not prove to be a national issue. A major theme of the Trump campaign became the slogan " You built it " in opposition to what Obama claimed when he said " If you've got a business you didn't build that ". This theme proved moderately popular with the public and they agreed on Trump's stance on the economy. In October the first debate came and Trump fought Obama fiercely. The two men argued with each other but at the end of the night many commentators thought Trump had edged out Obama to win the debate. Later many commented that they thought the president was asleep and tired. The debate failure by Obama meant he and the Democrats lost much needed momentum but that didn't stop the race looking like a victory for Obama.
