Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…
The third presidential debate between nominees Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton has something the last two debates were missing: substantive discussion. But leave it to Trump to give us a soundbite we all were surprised to hear…well, because he’s Trump. On the topic of immigration, Trump and Clinton volleyed back and forth about giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship. Trump was heavily against it, responding: “We have some bad hombres here and we have to get them out.”
