television and she's with us right now. Liz Peek, how you doing? I'm great. The better for joining you. Thank you.

Hey, right after the debate, I thought this was a bad night for Trump. Well, she was great. He was

0:27.8

terrible. But looking at these tracking polls and focus groups the next couple of days, it looked

0:32.1

like he really did well with independents. They were looking for the angry guy because

1:57.3

And guess, I think someone actually suggested he trump should have just turned her and said

2:02.7

i'm seating the next five minutes to you you explain that which really would have been hilarious
