Take A Look At The Interesting Quotes From The Trump-Hillary Presidential Debate Part-1

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" - Donald 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" - Hillary Clinton

The Right Experience?

"Let me tell you, Hillary has experience. But it's bad, bad experience" - Donald 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" - Hillary 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" - Hillary Clinton, referring to Trump's longtime support of the "birther" movement questioning Barack Obama's citizenship.

Show Me Yours And I Will Show You Mine


"I have no reason to believe that he's ever going to release his tax returns, because there's something he's hiding" - Hillary Clinton

"I will release my tax returns against my lawyer's wishes when she releases her 33,000 e-mails that have been deleted" - Donald 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" - Hillary Clinton

Talk The Talk

"Typical politician. All talk, no action. Sounds good, doesn't work. Never going to happen" - Donald Trump, rubbishing his rival's economic plans

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" - Donald Trump

Sep 27, 2016 08:06 (IST)
Clinton: Donald Trump has said repeatedly that he didn't care if other nations got nuclear weapons. Donald Trump's cavalier attitude about nuclear weapons is so deeply troubling.

Trump:
We lose on everything... We can't defend Japan, a behemoth selling us cars by the millions. Hillary Clinton's very cavalier in the way she talks about various countries. I can't take anything off the table... China should go into North Korea. Russia has more warheads than ever, N Korea is testing nukes, and Iran got a sweetheart deal to keep theirs. Thanks, Hillary Clinton.

Trump: You were the one that brought up the word 'superpredator' about young black youth.

Clinton:
No one should disagree about respecting the rights of young men who live in those neighborhoods. The fact that Trump's answer to a question about racial injustice is just "we need law and order" pretty much says it all. We've got to address the systemic racism in our criminal justice system and end private prisons. Donald Trump is more concerned with pandering to the gun lobby than keeping families safe.

We are not going to bring New York's unconstitutional stop-and-frisk program nationwide.We've got to address the systemic racism in our criminal justice system and end private prisons.If you're too dangerous to fly, then you're too dangerous to buy a gun.

Donald Trump Takes Swipe At Hillary Clinton Over Email Controversy



A Clinton economy equal to more taxes and more spending. Our country is suffering because people like Secretary Clinton have made such bad decisions. The Fed is not doing their job. The Fed is being more political than Secretary Clinton.

End of story.Hillary Clinton channels John Kerry on trade: she was for bad trade deals before she was against them.

Trump:
You've been telling all your plans to the enemy. No wonder you've been fighting ISIS your entire adult life.

Trump:
Hillary, I just ask you this-you've been doing this for 30 yrs. Why are you just thinking about these solutions...now?Instead of driving jobs and wealth away, America will become the world's great magnet for innovation and job creation.

Trump:
Hillary Clinton has been part of the rigged DC system for 30 years? Why would we take policy advice from her?

Clinton:
I have a feeling that by the end of this evening I'm going to be blamed for everything that's every happened

Clinton:
Trickle down did not work... Slashing taxes on the wealthy didn't work.

Clinton: I call it Trumped-up trickle down. Donald Trump really believes that the more we help wealthy people the better off we'll be.
 
Trump: My father gave me a very small loan in 1975 and I built it into a company that's worth many, many billions. We owe $20 trillion. We cannot do it any longer.

Clinton:
Donald was one of the people who rooted for the housing crisis. We have to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. There's only one candidate on stage who will support working families. Having a small business owner for a dad may not get you multi-million-dollar bailouts, but it does teach you the value of hard, honest work.
