Running into overtime, last night's presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump saw them duking it out over her long record in politics and his outsider views of how to run America.
Trump interrupted Clinton repeatedly - blaming her for the country's loss of manufacturing jobs after her husband ratified the North American Free Trade Agreement. Clinton hammered at Trump for not releasing his tax returns - claiming he is either hiding how much money he owes others, how little money he earns, or how little in taxes he pays. NBC's Lester Holt was largely absent as a moderator save for attempts to fact check Trump's record in 2002 supporting the Iraq War.
AirTalk will have multiplicity of voices to analyze the debate: political strategists from each camp, public policy analysts, and listeners who watched the two candidates.
