Democrat Hillary Clinton and her Republican
White House rival Donald Trump went head-to-
head on Monday night in a prime-time duel in
front of tens of millions of American voters.
Here is a selection of key quotes from the first
of three debates leading up to the November 8
election:
Stamina to lead?
"I said she doesn't have the stamina. And I don't
believe she does have the stamina. To be
president of this country, you need tremendous
stamina" - Trump
"Well, as soon as he travels to 112 countries and
negotiates a peace deal, a ceasefire, a release of
dissidents... or even spends 11 hours testifying in
front of a congressional committee, he can talk
to me about stamina" - Clinton
The right experience?
"Let me tell you, Hillary has experience. But it's
bad, bad experience" - Trump
Too much prep?
"I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for
this debate. And yes, I did. And you know what
else I prepared for? I prepared to be president.
And I think that's a good thing" - Clinton
Your own reality
"I know you live in your own reality, but those
are not the facts," Clinton said, after Trump took
her to task over her support for the Trans-Pacific
Partnership trade deal.
A racist lie
"He tried to put the whole racist birther lie to
bed. But it can't be dismissed that easily. He has
really started his political activity based on this
racist lie that our first black president was not
an American citizen" - Clinton, referring to
Trump's longtime support of the "birther"
movement questioning Barack Obama's
citizenship.
Show you mine/Show me yours
"I have no reason to believe that he's ever going
to release his tax returns, because there's
something he's hiding" - Clinton
"I will release my tax returns against my lawyer's
wishes when she releases her 33,000 e-mails
that have been deleted" - Trump
Trumped-up economics
"The kind of plan that Donald has put forth would
be trickle-down economics all over again. In fact,
it would be the most extreme version, the
biggest tax cuts for the top percent of the
people in this country than we've ever had. I call
it trumped up trickle-down" - Clinton
Talk the talk
"Typical politician. All talk, no action. Sounds
good, doesn't work. Never going to happen" -
Trump, rubbishing his rival's economic plans
World's policeman
"I want to help all of our allies, but we are losing
billions and billions of dollars. We cannot be the
policeman of the world, we cannot protect
countries all over the world, where they're not
paying us what we need" - Trump, reasserting
criticism of long-standing US alliances.
Middle Eastern mess
"You look at the Middle East, it's a total mess,
under your direction, to a large extent."
"You're talking about taking out ISIS. But you
were there, and you were secretary of state
when it was a little infant. Now, it's in over 30
countries, and you're going to stop them? I don't
think so" - Trump
Shhh... don't tell the enemy
Clinton: "Well at least I have a plan to fight ISIS."
Trump: "No, no, you're telling the enemy
everything you want to do."
Clinton: "No, we're not."
Trump: "You're telling the enemy everything you
want to do. No wonder you've been fighting ISIS
your entire adult life."
When it's all said and done
"I want to make America great again. I will be
able to do it, I don't believe Hillary will. The
answer is, if she wins, I will absolutely support
her" - Trump
