Washington, D.C.–Tonight, Correct The Record President Brad Woodhouse released the following statement on Hillary Clinton’s commanding performance—and resounding victory—in the final presidential debate of the general election:
“Hillary Clinton just dominated the third presidential debate. Hillary was substantive, disciplined, prepared—in other words, everything that Donald Trump is not. With grace and verve, Clinton systematically dismantled Trump’s thirty years of fraud, bullying and failure and eloquently made the case for a future where America is strong together.
“In contrast, Trump spent the debate waging an all out assault on decency, honesty and the bedrock principles of this country. Trump repeatedly insulted our country, derided our nation’s democratic principles and rushed to defend Vladimir Putin while questioning American intelligence agencies. Trump’s disgust for this country was literally off the charts. He horrifyingly threatened to upend the peaceful transfer of power—a bedrock of our democracy. He defended his use of foreign steel, attacked the women who accused him of sexual assault and even praised Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad. He misogynistically called Hillary Clinton a ‘nasty woman’—an offensive smear that is unacceptable and has no place in our politics. Any one of these comments should utterly disqualify him from being our next president, but Trump said them all.
“This was a disaster for Donald Trump—and a triumph for Hillary Clinton. Thank God our nation will not have to ever be demeaned by seeing that disgrace of a presidential candidate stand on a debate stage ever again. But make no mistake, after Donald Trump’s disaster of a presidential candidacy is consigned to the ash heap of history – ever Republican elected official who stood with this man will have their own day of reckoning with the voters.”
