Wednesday, September 28, 2016 Trump pushed on to defensive after debateRALEIGH, North Carolina — A defensive Donald Trump Donald Trump gave Hillary Clinton plenty of fresh material for the next phase of her presidential campaign yesterday, choosing to publicly reopen and relitigate some her most damaging attacks in the wake of the first US presidential debate between the two of the campaign. On Monday night, Trump brushed off Clinton’s debate claim that he’d once shamed a former Miss Universe winner for her weight. But then he dug deeper the next day — extending the controversy over what was one of his most negative debate night moments. Both campaigns knew the first debate could mark a turning point six weeks before Election Day with Trump and Clinton locked in an exceedingly close race. “That makes me smart,” was Trump’s coy response in the debate, but yesterday, Clinton insisted it was nothing to brag about.
