This Morning from CBS News, Oct. 10, 2016
Whole truth
The town hall debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump last night was full of fireworks, but we’ve waded through the rhetoric to find the facts behind both major party presidential nominees’ verbal jabs. Neither candidate can claim an evening of political jousting based entirely on non-fiction.
Female vote
The leaked video of Donald Trump boasting about being able to grope women has refocused attention on his history of questionable remarks about the opposite sex. The GOP nominee apologized for the language he used in 2005, but the incident still threatens to erode his already-wary support from female voters.
Picking a winner
Who won Sunday’s debate? Will Rahn argues Donald Trump did... sort of. The big question for Trump was whether he could stop his own party from abandoning him, and Rhan says he likely pulled that off. “Being the candidate that he is, he gets points for not imploding.”
Social record
Last night’s debate reigned as the most tweeted debate ever, the social media giant says, and it became the most tweeted day of the entire 2016 election, with almost 30 million tweets overall. Both Twitter and Facebook users agreed on the debate’s top moments. So which candidate created the most conversation?
Desperation in Haiti
Haiti is struggling to recover from Hurricane Matthew’s devastating blow. Reports suggest the storm claimed at least 1,000 lives in the impoverished island nation, and almost 1.5 million people still need help as fetid floodwater helps a cholera outbreak spread. We meet people with harrowing stories of surviving the storm.
Post-election retirement
The two major candidates for president differ remarkably in major areas concerning retirement, from funding Social Security and controlling health care costs to protecting consumers from financial services fraud. So who would help you more? We review five key stands Clinton and Trump have taken.
Notorious RBG
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is diminutive, but she looms large as the powerful liberal voice in the Supreme Court . At 83, she’s is the oldest sitting justice; known among her fans, including the President, as the notorious RBG. She shares a few words with us about vacant seats, and her pending retirement.
