When Hilary was a lawyer - she was doing her job, protecting her client.
I think Trump will destroy USA if he wins. He may be a wealthy businessman. BUT can he run the toughest job on the planet - l don't think so

You're missing the points a bit.
Bill Clinton going to impeached for his 'he had that affair' What Trump is doing is to try and put the shoe on the other foot.
This is a very shady area, a lot of people believe Bill Clinton did a lot more than merely have an affair and that's what Trump brought up and went after. It's all well to remember 'Allegedly' is a key word here. Source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_C...ct_allegations He admitted affairs with two and settled a harassment case with Paula Jones.
The emails from Hilary were checked out by the FBI. You cannot get bigger than that - Albeit two key people were given immunity deals for what now appears to absolutely nothing. One of these key people was found to have been trying to edit emails that were under the investigation of the FBI, something which is a federal offence. So naturally the whole thing has been sketchy from the start. That's why Trump brought it up. Trump is suggesting the FBI botched the entire thing and there's naturally good reasons to believe they did. - My Input, Source:

When Hilary was a lawyer - she was doing her job, protecting her client. - This was Trump being clever, days after being brought up on his nonsense he uses Hillary protecting a man from a rape charge. The point in this case he made was Hillary was then caught laughing about the case. He tried to make her look hypocritical. - General Explanation
My input on the Lawyer situation. It was to my understanding she never wanted the case. Her laughing was never to points about rape or the victim. It was just twisted that way, not by Trump but by others for years previously. Trump merely brought it back up to use as ammo. A little digging and research into the subject will reveal that most of the story is warped in trying to make Hillary look pretty bad. So whilst Trump wasn't lying, he wasn't exactly presenting the proper facts of it. Source:

This isn't me agreeing with anything, this is me explaining the ideas behind his statements in my own words and using sources to help you better understand what Trump was getting at. So you see, even if the last point is borderline BS, which it is, it doesn't matter, it makes her look bad because people are happy to eat it up without even questioning it. She laughed, but did she laugh at a 12 year old rape victim? No. Do people believe she did before or after? Yes. Trump used it for this exact reason. Again he's using facts but they're very skewed in his favour.
These weren't arguments presented in the form you think they were, they were presented in the form of attacking Clinton and her husbands reputation. They had nothing to do with any debate really.
Whilst I'm sure it makes for an entertaining watch, all in all it's a pretty embarrassing exchange between two people looking to lead a country in which Trump is the more embarrassing of the two. The only point here I even lean towards is the FBI investigation was a botch job from the offset, it was a monumental failure and more and more things surface that show just how badly it was conducted and Trump would be correct in calling for a separate investigation. Other than that it was just childish at best. Rather than appeal to undecided voters it was both sides attacking the credibility of the other in attempts to gain voters from each side.

I wonder if there has ever been a single incident as costly as that tape in US Elections? Famous moments like Kennedy/Nixon sure but did any of them move the polls so much?

Has there ever been someone bring up Rape and harassment in a debate before? Serious question. One has to wonder if this is the most ridiculous Presidential run up there's ever been. Not like we need an answer to that.
