ST. LOUIS: Donald Trump launched a scorched-earth bid to salvage his flailing campaign in a vicious presidential debate Sunday, vowing to jail rival Hillary Clinton if he wins the White House, and accusing her husband of sexual misconduct. With his campaign in a tailspin, Trump apologized for “locker room talk” in which he bragged about groping women, but stated boldly that “Bill Clinton was abusive to women.”“If you look at Bill Clinton, far worse,” Trump insisted. Trump was also tarred as undemocratic by a number of fellow Republicans. “Winning candidates don’t threaten to put opponents in jail,” said former George W. Bush White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. But, as in the first debate, she also laid a series of traps for Trump, prodding him toward admitting he had not paid federal income tax in around two decades.
