Donald Trump’s campaign manager has suggested that they would be willing to take part in another presidential debate before the election on 8 November – despite most polls suggesting he has lost the last three.
Speaking to radio pundit John Catsimatidis, Kellyanne Conway said she was a “big fan” of the debates because they are the “purest form of democracy”.
She said: “The debates are a very unique opportunity for all of America to see these candidates side by side.
“I wish there were more debates frankly. I think Donald Trump would challenge Hillary Clinton to another debate for a very simple reason – unless you’re a moneyed donor you are not going to have much access to her out on the stump now.
“I think the country benefits from this type of forum and we would be willing to do another if they somehow could squeeze it in.
She said the moderator during the previous debate, Chris Wallace, had done an “outstanding job” of “holding the candidates to account” rather than playing the “gotcha game”.
But Ms Clinton is widely considered to have won the final debate in Las Vegas on Wednesday last week with a YouGov poll saying that 49 per cent of 1,503 registered voters said she came out on top – compared with 39 per cent for Mr Trump.
Mr Trump was particularly ridiculed for calling Mexican immigrants “bad hombres” with the hashtag version trending worldwide within minutes.
