Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump - The Clash of Political Party Champions

[Big Nick Dudley]

This was great. Donald Trump gave the worst debate performance I have ever seen. Yes, worst I have ever seen. He's a bumbling, stumbling idiot. This is the first time we have really watched him give ideas in an extended format. I'm thoroughly convinced if his dad had not given him all that money, he would be washing cars.

• Clinton wrongly said that the only tax returns that anyone has seen from Trump “showed he didn’t pay any federal income tax.” Trump paid federal taxes in three out of five years in the 1970s.
  
  
• Trump was right in saying that Ford is moving its small-car division overseas, but wrong in claiming that as a result, thousands of jobs are leaving Michigan and Ohio. Ford’s CEO insists not a single job will be lost in the U.S.
  
  
• Trump left the false impression that the Obama administration failed to disclose the full amount paid to Iran in January to settle a long outstanding claim.
  
  
• Clinton said Trump thinks “climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese.” Trump denied it. In 2012, he tweeted that the Chinese had created global warming but later said he was joking.
  
  
• Trump claimed without evidence that the Clinton campaign in 2008 was pushing “very hard” the false story that President Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii.
  
  
• Trump claimed “the record shows” he was opposed to the Iraq War before it started, but there is no record of that.
  
  
• Trump said “murders are up” in New York City since ending stop-and-frisk policies, while Clinton said “crime, including murders” is down. Both are correct.
  
  
• Clinton claimed she had said she “hoped” the Trans-Pacific Partnership would be a “good deal,” when she originally supported it. But at the time, Clinton said it “sets the gold standard.”
  
  
• Clinton said “independent experts” concluded that Trump’s plans would cause a loss of 3.5 million jobs while hers would create 10 million jobs. But Trump has released a new tax plan since that report, and the projected job creation under Clinton is 3.2 million more than what would be added under current law.
  
  
• Clinton said Trump’s businesses had filed for bankruptcy six times; he said it was four. Clinton is right.
