Hillary Clinton continues to take lead post-second presidential debate

The second U.S. presidential debate, held on Monday night, saw a well-prepared Donald Trump, yet it was Hillary Clinton who continued to win over punters.

Sportsbook Bodog pegged the odds of the former U.S. first lady winning the upcoming elections at -425 (4/17) following her second face-off with Trump, who is now at +335 (13/4).  Before Monday night’s debate, the Democrats were a favorite to win with 3/10 odds, while Republicans were at 12/5.

Monday night’s event went down as the most negative and hostile debate in the U.S. presidential history—and that was even before the actual debate started. Thirty minutes before the start of the debate, Trump held a press conference in which he presented three women claiming to have been sexually assaulted by former President Bill Clinton. But it was the Republican nominee who was backed into a corner following the emergence of a video of him bragging about sexual aggression against women.

Trump apologized for the “locker room talk,” but pointed out during the debate that his were just words while “Bill Clinton was abusive to women.” The businessman also attacked Clinton’s use of a private email server, noting that the former secretary of state would have been in jail if he was the president. To which, Clinton responded: “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in this country.”
