Obama praises Clinton’s ‘3 for 3 debate sweep’
President Obama on Thursday praised his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her “3 for 3” presidential debate performances.
“Outstanding 3 for 3 debate sweep for @HillaryClinton!” Obama tweeted Thursday morning.
Outstanding 3 for 3 debate sweep for @HillaryClinton! Nobody has ever been more prepared to be @POTUS.

{mosads}Clinton and Donald Trump faced off Wednesday night for the third and final time ahead of the general election next month.
Viewers largely declared Clinton, the Democratic nominee, the winner of the first and second debates.
Trump, the GOP nominee, sparked backlash in their third meeting after refusing to say whether he would accept the results of the presidential election.
On Thursday morning, Trump in a tweet proclaimed himself the winner of the debate, citing a series of unscientific polls.
But nearly half of voters in 13 battleground states chose Clinton as the winner of the debate, according to a CBS News Battleground Tracker poll. The poll found 49 percent thought Clinton won, while 39 percent chose Trump as the winner.
A CNN instant poll released Wednesday night also said Clinton was the winner, giving the Democratic nominee a clean sweep of her three match-ups with Trump.
