Trump called Alicia Machado 'an eating machine' on Howard Stern show – as it happened

Clinton is comparing her surrogate Mark Cuban to Donald Trump - “He is a real billionaire, by the way,” she quips.

She talks about how Cuban has long used profit-sharing and shared the profits of his sale of his business and turned 300 of his employees into millionaires because of it.

“That’s the kind fo business leadership I want to hold up,” she says, noting that Trump has built his business on the backs of little guys who didn’t get paid.

“I’m glad my dad never had a contract with Donald Trump when he was running his small business,” says Clinton.

Clinton’s speaks of her mother’s upbringing in severe poverty and how she was lucky to find someone that let her live in their house and attend high school.

“When I talk about us being strong together, I’m not just talking about government, I’m talking about what each of us can do to contribute,” says Clinton.

Clinton mentions last night’s debate, and gets huge applause from her audience in Raleigh.

“I got a chance to say a few things,” she laughs, a clear reference to Trump interrupting her repeatedly.

“I do have this old fashioned idea that if I’m asking for your vote, I should tell you what I want to do,” says Clinton.

In Raleigh, Clinton speaks against the “mean-spirited” transgender bathroom law, House Bill 2.

“Right here in North Carolina, the mean-spirited wrong-hearted decision to pass and sign House Bill 2, has hurt this state. And more than that it’s hurt people. It’s sent a message to so many people ‘well you’re not really one, you’re not really part of us. I think the American dream is big enough for everything,” says Clinton.

Today is National Voter Registration Day, points out Clinton, calling on people to go to iwillvote.com and register to vote. She notes that North Carolina already has issues with voter suppression.

“Everything they could to make voting harder. They were pretty blatant, make it harder for people of color, make it harder for the elderly and make it harder for the young. Some of that’s been rolled back, thankfully, because it was so wrong and i would argue, unconstitutional... we want everyone to exercise his or her right to vote,” she adds.

Clinton takes to the stage in Raleigh, North Carolina, after a sweet speech from a local nurse and working mother who notes that she’s going to cry as she introduces Clinton to the stage.

“You made me cry,” Clinton tells her, putting her hand on her heart as she thanks her.

“Did anyone see that debate last night? Oh yes, one down, two to go,” declares Clinton to the audience.

Failed presidential candidate and former Florida governor is heading back to school, after Harvard’s Kennedy School announced Tuesday that Jeb Bush will be a visiting fellow on education policy, reports AP.

Bush - who last popped up in the public eye during a comic bit in the Emmy Awards - where he starred as an Uber driver - will be a guest speaker and teacher during the fall term.

AP says it will begin with Bush delivering the Edwin L. Godkin Lecture at Harvard this Thursday on economic and social mobility.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton campaigns in Raleigh, North Carolina, the day after the first presidential debate.

A Republican super PAC unveiled a new ad, using Hillary Clinton’s comments from last night’s debate against her in a new attack ad.

The new ad by Future 45 shows Clinton talking about how she has stamina to be president as proven by her years of Secretary of State travel to 112 countries.

“But beyond the flight miles, what’s the Clinton record?” asks the voice-over, before referencing Russia, Libya, ISIS and the Benghazi attack.

“Hillary has experience, but it’s bad experience,” replies Trump.

Future 45 is funded by big GOP donors, the Adelson and Ricketts families.

From the Clinton plane this morning, regarding Trump’s complaints from earlier today that his microphone wasn’t working during the debate.

When Ted Cruz was in the race, Trump pushed a conspiracy theory that Cruz’s father was somehow involved in the assassination of JFK.

But even with Cruz gone from the race, Trump hasn’t disavowed the claim - even pushing it shortly after the RNC in July. The Weekly Standard tried yesterday to get Trump surrogates to admit the argument was baseless, but to no avail.

“I think really the fact that Senator Cruz came out and endorsed Mr. Trump I think really says a lot. I think it talks about how the party’s coming together, how it’s united,” said Trump senior advisor Jason Miller.

But Ted Cruz’s chief strategist Jason Johnson took a dig at Miller, who was a former Cruz top spokesman before taking on the Trump role.
