To the Point

Donald Trump is falling behind Hillary Clinton in large part because of declining support from women, who've been a major source of support for Republicans in the past. But they're divided when it comes to Trump, and we hear what that could mean for the Party.

A US ship fired cruise missiles into Yemen today — a nation torn by civil war and further devastated by Saudi Arabian air attacks carried out with US assistance. We hear about a humanitarian disaster and possible violations of international law.

There’s been another deadly bombing attack today on Aleppo, as Russia and the US agree to meet again they’ve been fruitless so far. As the humanitarian crisis gets worse than ever, what are the pros and cons of increased military action by the United States?

Republican defectors from Donald Trump have outraged his grassroots supporters. Trump says he can now fight his own party's leaders in his "own way." How will outright civil war in the influence next month's election and the politics of the future?

America's founding fathers accused each other of crimes, hypocrisy and sexual misbehavior, but times had changed — until last night at this year's second presidential debate in St. Louis.

Donald Trump is defying GOP tradition by proposing a new entitlement: paid leave for the mothers of newly born children. Clinton wants new fathers on the government payroll, too. Either plan would help the US catch up to the rest of the world.

Obamacare has made health insurance available for millions of people who didn't have it before. It's anything but perfect, and now Bill Clinton has made it an unavoidable issue in this year's presidential campaign — intentionally or otherwise. We compare the best laid plans of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

The most powerful military in the world is not big enough for Donald Trump, although Hillary Clinton's considered more likely to use it to intervene overseas. We continue our reality check on the presidential campaign

It's Day Two of our Reality Check on the campaigns of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Their positions on climate change are as different as night and day. We hear what that might mean for energy policy, the environment and national security — depending on who makes it to the Oval Office.

When it comes to addressing the high cost of higher education, the difference between Clinton and Trump is much more than apples and oranges. That's according to one of our guests in part one of our reality check on issues in the presidential campaign.  

It's been 15 years since the attacks of September 11, but that's not the only reason they're back in the news.  The Obama White House calls it "embarrassing" that bipartisan majorities in Congress have given victims' families the right to sue Saudi Arabia, and the battle's not over yet. 

The race for the White House now includes the battle between the sexes, as Hillary Clinton's gender and Donald Trump's gender discrimination are now front and center in an increasingly bitter campaign. We hear what to expect in the after math of the first debate and the run up to the next one.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has accused Russia and the Syrian government of war crimes in the siege of Aleppo. With each side blaming the other, it's a crisis likely to face the next President of the United States. 

It was the first direct confrontation between the two most unpopular presidential candidates since public opinion polling began. It was mostly about personalities and stage presence -- while touching on jobs, race and gender.
