opinionHEMPSTEAD, REUTERS -Running as an anti-establishment candidate, Donald Trump took the presidential debate stage on Monday night to hammer home his call for sweeping political change and try to win over millions of undecided voters. Instead of presenting himself as a change agent, he spent most of the evening trading personal insults with his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. Polls show an electorate hungry for change, with a majority believing the country is on the wrong track. Trump started strongly on Monday, sticking to the bread and butter theme of his campaign - the erosion of U.S. manufacturing jobs. With an electorate yearning for change, Clinton is hamstrung by her long record and her close association with the Obama administration.
