Morning Brief: September 16th

Tonight the GOP hopefuls for the 2016 presidential race will spar in the second televised debate.

They're also focused on Mr. Trump, especially since he'll be sharing the stage with businesswomen Carla Fiorna. Mr. Trump has been criticized for his so-called comments on her physical appearance.
