The second presidential debate turned into a raucous night as Donald Trump, seeking to stabilize his campaign after the release of inflammatory lewd remarks about women, attacked Hillary Clinton’s character and honesty over the email scandal and other issues.

Clinton challenged Trump’s fitness for office immediately along with the businessman’s temperament in light of the crude remarks Trump made in the now infamous “Access Hollywood” hot mic video. For the first 30 minutes of the debate, Trump repeatedly apologized for the vulgar comments where he openly talked about his treatment of women, but continued to down play it as just “locker-room talk.”

“I’m very embarrassed by it, I hate it – but it’s locker-room talk,” Trump said.

With the discussion firmly on his comments, Trump would apologize then pivot his remarks to other issues and then attacked Clinton over former President Bill Clinton’s treatment of women.

“If you look at Bill Clinton, far worse – mine are words. His was action,” Trump said. “Bill Clinton was abusive to women. Hillary Clinton attacked those same women and attacked them viciously.”

Many expected Trump to self-implode after the release of video tape and be on the defensive, but he changed tactics and had Clinton on defense, and at one point made her lose her cool with his relentless attacks. Unfortunately for Trump, the first part of the debate was centered on his video comments and his suitability to be president, instead of attacking Clinton’s record.
