Race to the White House – the vicious debate, the future of the GOP, and Clinton’s emails

The bruising second presidential debate was dominated by accusations of sexual misconduct. Gary He/EPA This week on Race to the White House, Brendon O’Connor, Tom Switzer and Emma Lancaster are joined by Nicole Hemmer to examine the second presidential debate, in which Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off in a bruising town-hall-style debate in St Louis. Many have labelled it as the most vicious debate in America’s political history. But did this exchange alter the trajectory for the race to the White House? And while the Republican Party may have commenced a civil war within its ranks, the panel discusses whether the party is transitioning from one of ideas to a coalition of interests. And finally, the panel shines a spotlight on the Clinton WikiLeaks email dump and considers whether the Kremlin has weaponised the online publisher to meddle in the presidential race.
