Clinton urges that we recognize and reward work, not just financial transactions. She dismisses Donald\u2019s \u201cTrumped Up Trickle Down\u201d economics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[9:14 pm]<\/strong> Trump does not specifically rebut Clinton\u2019s assertion that he borrowed 14 million dollars from his father. Instead, cites \u201ca small loan.\u201d Then claims that as a secretary of state, Clinton should have negotiated better trade deals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[9:22 pm]<\/strong> As candidates continue to discuss jobs and economics, here\u2019s a thought: To the extent that Clinton \u201cwins\u201d or appears more credible and compelling on economic issues, can she convince any #NeverTrump Republicans to vote for her to prevent him from winning this close election.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[9:36 pm]<\/strong> Holt asks Trump about his decision to defy decades of custom and release his tax returns. Trump says he\u2019ll release them when Clinton releases her 30,000 deleted emails. Then, she speculates about why Trump has not released his: \u201cMaybe he\u2019s not as rich as he says. Maybe he\u2019s not as charitable as he claims. Maybe he doesn\u2019t want you to know he\u2019s paid no federal income taxes for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong>[9:52 pm]<\/strong> Trump emphasizes \u201claw and order,\u201d saying Clinton is afraid to say those two words. Hillary says we need to do more than talk about law and order. We need to address systemic bias. \u201cI think implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just for police.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-223\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/700\/2016\/07\/FBImage_CapitolandCathedralNews_1500x786.jpg\" alt=\"FBImage_CapitolandCathedralNews_1500x786\" width=\"600\" height=\"314\"><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Debate liveblog<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2779,"featured_media":223,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,180],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faith2016","category-debates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>2016 Hofstra debate faith &amp;
