Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump (First TV Debate Highlights) - BBC News

The two US presidential candidates have clashed over jobs, terrorism and race in a bitter television debate. The attacks turned personal as Republican Donald Trump accused his rival Hillary Clinton of not having the right temperament to be president. Meanwhile, Mrs Clinton baited Mr Trump by pointing out that he refuses to release his tax returns. The New York showdown could be the most watched debate in TV history, with up to 100 million viewers.

Trump's strategy: blame Obama and Hillary.

Time to enjoy reading the comment section.

During the debate, Hilary was always like 'What would Trump say next?'
'How can I reply a good one-liner?'
'How can I be more peppy than him?'

[bosphon]

Sounded like Mid schoolers bullying each other

[pnmp]

She doesn't have the stamina. I said she doesn't have the stamina. And I don't believe she does have the stamina.

I know when old people get lost in a conversation because their brains fall behind, they will start repeating the same sentence over and over again and pretend that they are keeping up with the conversation.

[thehippie]

I find the debates in these comments almost as amusing as the actual debate itself.

[MangatDr]

This is like the worst 'would you rather' scenario for such a position of power. Good Luck America

[sportslife]

Haha. That sounded more like two fifth-grade school kids name-calling each other than a Presidential Debate.

Donald Trump & Hillary Clinton should have been asked the same questions. About policy. Trump was asked about his taxes, Iraq, the birther stuff, etc. but Hillary wasn't asked about e-mails, FBI scandals, health issues, Clinton Foundation, so it was a bad moderator & poor debate questions in the debate... Trump had to debate and defend against two people.. Both Clinton and Holt..

[guidofarage]

Trump is no orator like Nigel Farage or Daniel Hannan, who both have their different styles of presentation. He is brazen, yet inconsistent and a bit muddled. I thought Hillary seemed more presidential-like, however, in a manner of debate, and not because of who she is or her ideas. In fact, as Trump aptly put it, "You have 30 years of experience, yes, bad experience." And that's what it is. Trump is no saint and there are far better right-wing politicians in Europe and some even in the US than him, but Hillary cannot win. The woman is a serial warmonger, a liar, corrupt to the core and psychopathic. Look at what she did to Libya, the email scandal, the rape story when she was a lawyer, how she laughed about Libya and people dying, and her Clinton Foundation. She is the worst candidate for president in a long time. And I add that while she was relatively consistent and educated on policy last night, she sounded robotic, like a typical career politician, and the fake smile of hers gave that away further. She would be a disaster for America.

*sigh* out of the millions of people in our country...why did it HAVE to come down to these two

[saneman]

All I really took from the debate was that Clinton is a much slicker politician. That's about it. For her to be able to stand up there & smile after everything she's done just confirms what I've always suspected.

[Raviouliformiouli]

I mean, she won. She actually had structured sentences and didn't just repeat herself. BUT we're fucked.

[Snaoe]

I watched it live. Trump got destroyed so many times.

[nolabinn]

You did not add the statement that she said she had stamina to sit thru an11 hour congressional investigation.She did not say why she had to go get investigated.

[connorjensen]

Trump makes Hillary look like a good choice.

[BenMarkParry]

so basically they said nothing about politics and just insulted each other the whole time?
modern politics everybody.
