Donald Trump's strongest moment suddenly turned into one of his weakest.
Hillary Clinton was on the defensive. The candidates were talking about immigration. One ofher paid speeches to a Brazilian bank, a transcript of which WikiLeaks released as part of hacked Clinton campaign emails, was under the spotlight.
Then she changed the subject.
She veered off the discussion of "open borders," which she had praised in her speech, and instead started talking about Russian President Vladimir Putin. She accused Putin and the Russian government of meddling in the US election, and called on Trump to disavow "Russian espionage against Americans."
Trump responded with a zinger, marveling at how Clinton had shifted gears. And then, for some reason, he took the bait."Now we can talk about Putin," he started.
