Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump go head-to-head tonight in their second debate, as a political storm swirls around The Donald.
They face off just two days after Trump’s campaign was thrown into chaos by the release of a 2005 tape of him making vulgar comments about women with then-“Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush.
Following the video’s release GOP politicians and insiders raced to distance themselves from Trump, with many withdrawing endorsements.
Clinton, too, heads into tonight’s contest with recently-dredged-up baggage. Just hours after the Trump bombshell on Friday, Wikileaks released excerpts of her paid speeches to Wall Street firms.
ABC’s Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper will moderate the town-hall debate at Washington University in St. Louis.

Trump is doing so well no Republican should ever again mentioning getting a new candidate. Trump is more than holding his own.

Clinton allies going into this wanted HRC to have a big moment connecting with one of the undecideds asking the Qs. That seemed to get lost.
