Economist and former Wall Street Journal editorial board member Stephen Moore believes Donald Trump’s “strongest moment was when he started out saying this economy is severely under performing” during Monday night’s presidential debate.

As President Obama looks at the 2016 election thus far, he says he’s growing more annoyed by the Republican candidates stirring up anti-government sentiment and cynicism about Washington D.C.
