US debate reaches 84 million viewers, toppling record

“But with the view solidifying that Secretary Clinton had taken the upper hand in the first presidential debate, the risk-avoiding moves in the yen receded”.

“I thought it was a very strong debate”.

In the debate’s final stretch, Trump charged that “she doesn’t have the stamina. I was the one that got him to produce the birth certificate and I think I did a good job”, Trump said.

Hillary Clinton (D) vs. Donald Trump (R), first debate, 2016 – 84 million viewers.

Conway said Trump has momentum on his side and plans to return to a busy campaign schedule in the battleground states, starting with a Florida swing on Tuesday.

More than 6 in 10 Democrats say it’s very or extremely important for candidates to release their tax returns, while fewer than 3 in 10 Republicans say the same. Trump issued a vigorous call for “law and order” and advocated the controversial police practice of “stop and frisk”, which has been the subject of emotional and complex legal proceedings in NY. Holt said the policy was “ruled unconstitutional”.

Obama said his two biggest worries are nuclear proliferation and climate change, and that Trump fails the test on both. Others thought Trump “totally won by a long shot”.

Trump’s campaign aides had worked hard in recent weeks to keep him on message – and away from personal attacks – persuading him to use teleprompters and reach out to minority audiences.

Obama made his comments to radio personality Ryan Seacrest Tuesday as part of an voter registration outreach to millennial voters, urging young people not to sit out the presidential election.

Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we’re in. “The record shows otherwise”, Holt challenged him. Ultimately, he was reduced to whining about Clinton’s television commercials: “It’s not a nice thing she has done”.

At her campaign event in Raleigh, North Carolina, today Clinton took a veiled swipe at Trump’s wealth.

In fact, Hillary’s penchant for stretching the truth has been on display throughout the campaign. “I wish the first time it was done correctly”. It’s not discrimination that leads to lower pay for women, it’s the different career choices men and women make.

Clinton likewise promised to “go after millionaires, billionaires and corporations” and make them pony up the cash to pay for her proposals. And he perplexingly stood by his criticism of Machado the morning after the debate, saying in an interview on Fox News Channel that Machado was one of the “worst we ever had” in the beauty contest he used to own. Trump correctly noted that Clinton called it the “gold standard” for trade deals.

Both global financial markets and everyday voters in polls said Clinton carried the day in the highly anticipated showdown. The 68-year-old Clinton relentlessly sought to raise questions about her opponent’s temperament, business acumen and knowledge.

“He loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them and he called this one “Miss Piggy” and then he called her ‘Miss Housekeeping, ‘” she said.
