Highlights from Clinton, Trump fiery debate
In just less than six weeks, Americans will know who will occupy the Oval office. This as presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump participated in a fiery debate yesterday. Here's a look at highlights.
Before an anticipated television audience of up to 100 million, Clinton painted the celebrity real estate mogul as fatally out of touch and willing to say "crazy things" to get elected.
"You live in your own reality" said the 68-year-old Democrat, accusing Trump of launching his political career on the "racist lie" that Barack Obama is not American.
As Clinton projected steady experience, Trump played the populist bruiser, pitching to frustrated blue-collar voters fed up with politicians.
"Let me tell you, Hillary has experience. But it's bad, bad experience," quipped the billionaire, accusing the former secretary of state, first lady and US senator of being a "typical politician. All talk, no action. Sounds good, doesn't work."
The 70-year-old Trump has faced tough questions about his temperament during a deeply polarizing 15-month campaign that has brought rightwing populism to the American political mainstream.
