ST. LOUIS An upbeat Hillary Clinton said that she was surprised by the absolute avalanche of falsehoods coming from Donald Trump during their second debate Sunday but otherwise pretty much saw what I expected to see.
The Democratic presidential nominee spoke briefly to reporters traveling on her plane as it prepared to depart late Sunday en route to Westchester County, N.Y. She appeared relaxed as she made her way to the back of the plane where the press sits as it started to taxi.

Nothing surprises me about him, Clinton said when was asked about her Republican opponents debate performance. But, she added, I was surprised by the absolute avalanche of falsehoods. Clinton cited a fact-checking service that she said had rated 70 percent of Trumps previous claims as false. I think he exceeded that percentage, she said of Sunday nights performance.
Clinton was asked whether she could sense Trump standing close behind as she answered some of the questions during the town-hall format, where both could roam the stage. Yes, I could, she said. It was a very small space, and I tried to give him space.
