hillary clinton trying to hammer home the idea that trump isn't able to back up a lot of his policies and promises and isn't prepared to be commander-in-chief.

(donald trump, (r) presidential nominee) hillary has experience, but it's bad experience. we have made so many bad deals during the last ... so she's

bad experience. the two candidates both face challenges when it comes to trust and transparency. and trump was pressed on if and when he'd release his returns. (hillary clinton, (d) presidential candidate) why won't he release his tax returns? and i think there may be a couple of reasons. first, maybe he's not as rich as he says he is. second, maybe he's not as charitable as he claims to be. third, we don't know all of his business dealings. or maybe he doesn't wthe american people, all of you watching tonight, to know that he's paid nothing in federal taxes. trump hit back, on an issue clinton has struggled with.
