Callinglanda from ohio on our republican line. Caller hi. I am undecided. Ive always voted republican, i docannot trust hillary not want a democrat but i dont trust trump at all. Ive seen a lot of his past. I dont know where he really stands and even on the debate, he kept yelling and interrupting , he is so unprofessional and i am a minority and in my heart of hearts, i feel he is a racist. I wish i could vote for him, but i was one of the crew supporters, he was a real one of the ted cruz supporters, he was a real christian man. I will write in something. Host a thirdparty candidate . Who would you write in . Caller i wanted to write in ted cruz, but theres no chance. Ive never felt this disheartened in an election. I love going to the rallies and my i feelt this time like everything has turned upside down.

Its like they are all some big group together and they will get whoever they want in. Host pat in texas. Line for democrats. Veter im a retired army and i havent heard none of the candidates talk about how they are going to help the veterans get out of the situation we are in here. Every day, you hear something bad coming out the v. A. And we are not getting enough money to help ourselves. We cant even get food stamps to help us with the little check we get. We havent heard anybody take a position on that at all. They always talk about how they are going to help the rich, especially mr. Trump. Obama has done a lot to help the veterans, but i havent heard nobody take up that topic yet. Donald trump says hes helping the vets, Hillary Clinton hasnt said nothing about helping the vets. Host both of the candidates have addressed veterans groups. Even from those addresses, you havent heard anything as far as caller they are using us as a pawn to get the veteran vote. Has anyone addressed what they are going to do as far as the medical and benefits . Obama is talking about it tonight and he has done a lot to get everything started. They ran into a brick wall i havent heard too much more. Host pat in texas. Republican leaders reacting to monday nights debate. Some republicans kept their reviews remarkably brief on tuesday. Mitch mcconnell offered a nine on theessment saying debate, i thought he did just fine. Cruz repeatedly brushed off debate questions. Both candidates back on the campaign trail. Hillary clinton in North Carolina on tuesday. Talking about Donald Trumps debate performance. [video clip] Hillary Clinton he actually bragged about gaming the system to get out of paying his fair share of taxes. There is a strong probability he has not paid federal taxes a lot of years. This is a man who goes around our militaryate a disaster. All ofs around calling our institutions he probably has not paid a penny to support our troops or vets or schools or health care system. [applause] when iclinton confronted him with the reasons why he wont release his tax returns and i got to that point where i said maybe he has paid zero, he said that make some smart. Makes himm smart. What does that make the rest of us . Host ian in buffalo, new york. Democrats line. Good morning. I saw a video produced by the New York Times called how to win an election. In it, they interview a former media strategist and he pretty ofh describes the process how a campaign is supposed to influence voters and sort of voters ry and poll pull voters into a candidate orbit to vote for them. It was produced so well. Host that has led to you being undecided . Caller i was undecided beforehand. Like the policy proposals of trump or clinton. For garyng to vote johnson or joel stein but after i saw that video, i really i sort of realized that the candidates are just telling a story to get us to vote for them. They dont have to do anything in office. They dont have to do anything they are promising now. Back one more, looking what previous candidates have promised during elections, that happens. Host frank in florida. Independent line. I watched it and i was disappointed because they do not really ask any of the questions sunday night, they had on 60 we are closer to nuclear wars today then since 1980 and i was remembering that ms. Clinton in the state department signed off that we and uranium to the russians now, we are sending our b52s over there in a show of force and yet, nobody addressed those problems. I cant understand how we would uranium and now, we are in the cold war mode with them. As for mr. Trump, he did not answer one question except soundbites. Were you looking to the debates to help you make a decision about who to vote for . Caller yes. I would like to vote for somebody that will help us out and yet, i see that the are more i wasd in the money looking at stein and the and everybody tells me if i vote for them, i will be throwing my vote away. Looking for somebody that will help america to be strong. Host 84 Million People watching the debate. About theat came in event that took place on monday.

Caller thank you for taking my call. I decided to vote for donald trump. And his electoral points were exactly what i expected because 1. I really point i really i am from the Health Care Industry and i know in 1998, the Health Care Industry was under clinton. She messed it up and all the doctors were losing their jobs. Surgeons from california were moving to kansas and two small clinics and the same thing is happening right now. Hospitals are merging and the jobs are going out. Especially coding jobs, information jobs. Host thank you. Rich is up next in centreville, virginia. Independent line. Caller i will try to be concise. The questions that were asked the other night, the question andt Donald Trumps taxes the business about their worried that somebody might have influence over him i dont know why lester holt did not ask Hillary Clinton about the Clinton Foundation and influence there. That is one point. The other about his taxes. Donald trump over the years with tens of thousands of employees pays a portion of their medicare and Social Security. Whato up in the air over is right and what is wrong. It seems like everything is slanted towards the democrats. I was a democrat, im a republican, now, im an independent. Host have you decided who youre going to vote for . Caller im leaning towards trump because im so tired of everything being the same and nothing changing. Nothing changes. When bush was in there, not barack obama, its like the entire system is rigged against the 99 . You have no choice but to try somebody else. Host undecided voters only. If you want to give us a call about where you are at in the weeks before the election. 2027488000 for democrats. 2027488001 for republicans. Independents, 2027488002.

President obama in a statement he is expected to attend the Funeral Services on friday. Another one, he was the courage of israels fight for and theence perseverance that led him to thosehis nation statements from president obama. Lets hear from carl from montana. Independent line. Caller hows everything going this morning . Vote fort Hillary Clinton because she is establishment. I like Gary Johnsons tax plan, get rid of the irs and go with a National Sales tax. That way, everybody could pay their fair share. Downe trumps trickle economics plan in the 1960s. John f. Kennedy started the trickle down economics, a democrat. I dont like hillarys plan because she wants to raise taxes on the rich. Her taxes and put it into the Clinton Foundation where she wont pay anything. The whole system is corrupt. We need a National Sales tax. In an opedohnson this morning in the New York Times. Would begin the conversation about the size of the government by submitting a real balanced get bill is up next. Bill is in delaware on our democrats line. Talking undecided voters. Go ahead. Ler i would like to know thank you for cspan. Why is it that Hillary Clinton makes a big deal out of donald he said before he was a politician and yet, the things she did were never mentioned . Off rapehat man charges and then laughed about it. Im voting for donald trump. Hes the best one out there. Weve set aside the lines for undecided voters. Donald trump traveling back on the campaign trail after his debate on monday night, talking about his opponent, Hillary Clinton. [video clip] donald trump for 90 minutes, i watched her very carefully. I was holding back. I didnt want to do anything to embarrass her. I was watching her, she was stuck in the past. For 90 minutes, on issue after issue, Hillary Clinton defended the terrible status quo. Plan tolaid out our bring jobs, security and prosperity back to the American People. [applause] donald trump 490 minutes, she argued against change while i called for dramatic change. We have to get rid of obamacare, we have to strengthen our depleted military. We will do a lot of great things, folks. November 8, you have to get out there and vote. Host hugo in fairfax, virginia. Independent line. The you consider yourself undecided . Caller i do. Thank you for cspan. I watched the debate the other night. I found myself up in the air between both candidates. On one hand, im not excited about the prospect of a donald trump presidency. When he talks about what he wants to do with taxes, andcially corporate taxes positively influencing companies to stay in the u. S. , it seems like a great business incentive to lower the tax rate to reduce the inversion. Some of the things he said dont make any sense. He has a weak background. On the other hand, we have secretary clinton, she has a great bio, she gives you that look that you get the sense that she is president ial but then shes got all these troubles with the emails whats not understood, unfortunately, she does not seem to understand the damage shes done to the United States. Ralliesd one of the recently and she explained that she had a special facility that she used for classified material. On the other hand, she sent information that should not have been sent over unclassified means. We find ourselves lost. What do we have to look forward to . I will continue to agonize over it and figure out what the lesser of two evils are. Hugo in fairfax, virginia. There are also congressional races taking place. Heres a sampling of stories about the congressional races and things going on with that. From the Washington Examiner this morning.
