I didn't watch it, nor will I. Makes my skin crawl listening to these two. Curious though, as I come from Wyoming where the coal industry is/was massive...what did she say/lie about the coal industry?

Still doesn't mean great. And Trump never said America is evil, so if that's how she meant it then she's lost and doesn't understand what's going on.
My "good" used in a sentence: "the schools here are good"
Your "good" used in a sentence: "a mysterious balance of good and evil"
Let me know if you're still not catching it.
I catch it just fine. She is saying that America is great because Americans are good people. They are righteous people.
It's pretty obvious.
America may be good morally but America is not good otherwise, and that's why Trump wants to make it great again. Hillary is misunderstanding what Trump means if this her retort to his slogan, and dumber than I originally thought.
I'm no fan of Clinton, but this "America is great because we're good" works just fine on its own, and gives Clinton a chance to use her typical rhetoric to talk about how she believes in the American people.
Trump has had every opportunity to say, "Yes, the American people are good. And these good people deserve a great country. And when I say "Make America Great Again," I'm talking about x, y, z....."
This is simply my opinion. I'm in NO WAY implying Trump would agree. The "American People" as we call all of us grouped together are "OK" as a whole. There was a time when we were "Good"...before BLM violence, threatening protests...before killing police...before trying to jail people who don't believe in man-made climate change, etc. There was a time when we were "Great"...how we pulled together after 9/11...how we help other countries during disasters or war...how we have tried to spread freedom (although often failing) around the world, etc.
I could give thousands of examples but this is my bottom line. We were "Great" and we were "Good". But we have taken the line that is titled "Satisfactory" and continually dropped it lower, and lower to support people as they go lower, and lower. We have instead of aspiring to be better, we have lowed "acceptable" so not to offend those who aren't. We have lowered our standards, morals and values to include the "not-so-good", the "pretty bad" and the "scum".
Yes...there is human scum in America. That is easy enough to clean up. But when you (typically the left) re-define unacceptable actions as acceptable to make people happy...or to have them vote for them...you end up with just an "OK" American public.
Sorry to tell the truth. I know THAT is one of those now unacceptable things.

As a Canadian, I can do nothing but sit back and watch, but I have to ask.............does it really matter what the polls say? It seems to me that everyone seems so concerned with this. "well, the polls say that Hilary is in the lead............."
Who cares what the polls say? I would want to have my own opinion on who I would vote for based on what the individual says, not what the majority of the people think.........
Is it just me?

Interesting. Obama made it a point 8 years ago to talk about how he was going to destroy the coal industry, and for the most part, he succeeded. I recall hearing Hillary make the same remarks over time. Yet, if they really wanted to do something for the industry, they would have before they put thousands out of work.
Now the witch tried to make them all feel better by saying they need to be taken care of. Too little too late.
Non-biased focus group.

His previous focus groups have favoured Clinton - including after the last debate.
I have actually worked with him. He is an unsavoury character for sure, but his live opinion scoring is interesting. Though not conclusive.

Except that appears to only be the consensus among Trump supporters.

Let's get real.
The American people by and large don't care about issues, they care about sensationalism and optics.
Trump looked like he had aged 10 years. He stood there, usually slightly hunched over, with a scowl on his face.
He delivered his usual garbage while sniffing again (so much for the "faulty mic" excuse).
The three women (I leave Kathy Shelton out of this, she's being very roughly used.) who are ostensibly there to condemn a male abuser are the guests of a man who has proven himself to be the exact same thing ... how does that make them "look"?
Keep telling yourself that the great Trumpkin has a YUUUGE win.
Remember what Karl Rove said about Ohio?
...OWN her...thrash her...man handle her...thrash her...DESTROYED her...
