Debate over Obamacare

"I'm going to cut taxes. We're going to grow the economy," Trump replied when asked about his handling of social welfare programs.

“But that doesn't support entitlements,” the moderator interjected, trying to steer the Democratic candidate back to the question.

"Generally speaking, I would support it," Trump replied, before attacking the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. He said Obamacare was a disaster that would be destroyed "by itself."

Giant economic machine

"Why do you both ignore the national debt?" the debate moderator asked.

"We're going from 1% to 4%," Mr. Trump said of GDP.

The billionaire led the conversation on jobs, saying, "Sadly, foreign manufacturers are taking away American jobs."

The billionaire promised to create a "giant economic engine" for America, by "bringing jobs back" and mobilizing business leaders, "the greatest negotiators in the world", instead of carrying out cyber attacks for political purposes.

"When I hear Donald say that and I hear the slogan: 'Make America Great Again,' I think when did he think America was great?" Clinton said.

"I pay for everything I propose, I don't add to the national debt," she said.

"We have to get back to rebuilding the middle class, the American family, that's where the growth of this country is going to come from," she said.

The former secretary of state also referred to an ad in which Mr. Trump criticized former President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.

Trump warns about refugees

Referring to Syria, Trump began talking about the influx of Syrian refugees into the US and Clinton's support for this.

“Let's wait and see what we'll see in the coming years,” he said.

Clinton replied: "I will not let anyone into this country without thorough vetting," including "people we do not trust."

Clinton discusses no-fly zone in Syria

President Obama refuses to establish a no-fly zone in Syria, host Wallace says.

"I think a no-fly zone can help save lives and bring the conflict to a swift end," Clinton said, explaining that the purpose of a no-fly zone is to save lives. She would "make it clear to the Russians and the Syrians that a no-fly zone is in the best interests of the Syrian people."

'Google Donald Trump Iraq'

Clinton urged the audience to Google Trump's past statements about Iraq.

Trump's first comments were said to be in support of the US military intervention in Iraq in 2003, while Trump has repeatedly asserted that he opposed the Iraq war from the very beginning.

"Terrible Things"

Referring to emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta released by Wikileaks, Mr. Trump said:

"John Podesta said some horrible things about her, and boy, was he right. Podesta said she had terrible instincts."

Trump talks about IS

"The situation in Mosul is very sad. We had Mosul. But when we left, when she pulled all her forces out, we lost Mosul," Mr. Trump said, blaming Mrs. Clinton for the rise of the Islamic State (IS).

“What happened to the element of surprise?” Trump asked, referring to the fact that all IS leaders had left Mosul.

Infantry in Iraq

Clinton said she was "encouraged" by special forces helping Iraqi soldiers but did not support sending ground troops into the country.

"We need to be watching IS," Clinton said, calling for "increased intelligence" to prevent terrorism from growing domestically.

Emmy Awards rigged?

Mrs Clinton said Mr Trump started complaining that the Emmy awards were rigged when he didn't win one.

"She should get one," Trump interjected.

'Poisoned mind'

The host asked whether Mr. Trump would accept the election results.

"At that point, I'll see," Trump replied. "What I saw was bad, the media was bad... They poisoned the minds of the voters, but unfortunately for them, the voters saw through it all."

The moderator continued to press Trump to get to the point.

"I'll tell you when the time comes... I'll keep you all waiting in suspense."

Campaign against Trump

The billionaire said "your friends on Wall Street" are paying for campaigns against him.

Trump attacks Clinton foundation

Trump said the Clinton Foundation is a "criminal enterprise" that receives money from Saudi Arabia, executes gay men, and doesn't treat women well. According to Trump, the people of Haiti "hate" the Clintons.

"Bill and I have been helping Haiti for many years," said Mrs. Clinton, emphasizing that 90% of the money in the Clinton Foundation "goes to places in need."

Clinton said she "feels good about making the comparison to the Trump Foundation, spending money on a portrait of Trump." "Who did that?" she asked.

'Dark and dangerous'

"A dark and dangerous vision," Clinton said of Trump's campaign rallies, which she said were violent.

Trump responded, saying that the violence at his rallies was caused by Mrs. Clinton.

'Disrespecting women'

Mrs Clinton quoted Mr Trump as saying of those who accused him of groping them: "Look at her, I don't think so" or "That wouldn't be my first choice".

"Donald thinks belittling women makes him greater," Clinton said. "That's who Donald is. It's up to us to decide who we are and what our country is. Let's stand up and make it clear what we expect from our next president."

'Respect women'

"Nobody respects women more than I do," Trump said.

The MC had to ask the crowd in the auditorium to stop booing and jeering.

“Everyone, be quiet,” he said.

'She brought IS to us'

Mr. Trump accused Mrs. Clinton of being the one who led the extremist group Islamic State (IS).

"She won't kill anyone," he said.

'30 years of experience'

Clinton talked about the past, comparing what she did 30 years ago with Trump.

When Clinton was in the situation room helping take out Osama Bin Laden, "he was hosting Celebrity Apprentice," she said. The Democratic nominee went on to mention Trump working with the Justice Department in the 1970s while she fought for children.

Trump: It's all lies

When asked why nine women accused him of harassing them, Trump said:

“First of all, these stories are mostly debunked,” that the Clinton campaign found these people.

"It's all lies and it's all staged. I can't even say sorry to my wife, who's sitting here, because I didn't do anything," he said.

The billionaire then accused Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama of making the accusations, as well as causing violence at his rally in Chicago earlier this year.
