Trump VS Clinton. 6 of the most interesting fragments of election debate

On Sunday, October 9, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton again converged in the election debate. Two days before the broadcast, the Washington Post released a video of a ten -year ago, where Trump, forgetting about the microphone turned on, discusses women in the vulgar manner and says, in particular, that being a “star”, can afford to kiss them and grab them for a “pussy” without waiting for their consent.

Trump immediately apologized and said that the words “do not reflect his entities” and “this is only a way to distract attention from the serious problems we are faced with today.” Then he went into the attack, saying that there was a big difference between his “bad” words and the real actions of other people: “Bill Clinton really subjected women to violence.” Hillary Clinton, according to him, was touching her husband's victims. “Meet me on the debate,” he concluded. An hour before the debate, Trump held a press conference with four women: three of them had previously accused Clinton of violence, the fourth was a victim in the rape case, in which Hillary Clinton defended the accused. In addition, Wikileaks posted a new portion of emails - this time from the box of John Podesta, the head of the Klinton campaign headquarters. Letters, according to American special services and a number of independent organizations, were received by Russian hackers. According to some analysts, they were not accidentally published immediately after the scandalous audio recording of Trump’s conversation, one of the goals could be an attempt (failed) to distract attention from the scandal.

The attitude towards women and Russian hackers became the main topics of the debate, but not the only ones - the candidates managed to discuss Islam, the war in Syria and, of course, each other.

About the scandalous words of Trump

Question: “You said that they kiss women without their consent, grabbing them for genitals. This is sexual harassment. You boast that you have committed sexual harassment against women. Do you understand this? "

Trump: “No, I didn’t say that at all. I think you did not understand what it was. It was an ordinary male triple, of those that are in the locker room. ⟨...⟩ Of course, I am not proud of them. But this is an ordinary male chatter.

You know, when we have a world in which ISIS cuts off their heads, people are drowned in steel cells, where wars and horrors, horrors are everywhere where there is so much bad, this is some kind of Middle Ages. ⟨...⟩ Yes, for me this is a very difficult situation. Very unpleasant. But this is an ordinary male chatter, you know how it happens. ⟨...⟩ And I tell you, I will deal with ISIS. ”

Clinton: “I think that everyone who has heard it is clear that this exactly shows who he is. Because we saw all this throughout the campaign. They saw how he insults women. They saw how he ranks women, awarding them from one to ten points, depending on the appearance. ⟨...⟩

So - yes, this is exactly what Donald Trump is. But it is not only about women, and not only this video raises questions about his ability to be our president, because he also attacked immigrants, African American, Latin American people, people with disabilities, prisoners of war, Muslims and many others. ”

On charges against the Clinton couple

Trump: “Bill Clinton subjected women to violence. Hillary Clinton attacked these very women, and attacked them viciously. ⟨...⟩ One of the women ... was raped when she was 12 years old. Her client [Client Hillary Clinton, who acted as a lawyer - The Insider] This got away with it, and she was seen laughing - it was twice - she laughed at the girl who was raped. ⟨...⟩ ... when Hillary ... speaks of the words that I uttered 11 years ago, I think this is ugly, and tell the truth, I think she should be ashamed. "

Clinton: “... there is so much of what has just been said is not true, but ... he decides what he wants to talk about. ⟨...⟩ When I hear something like that, I recall the words of my friend, Michel Obama, addressed to all of us: “The lower their level, the higher you are.” ...

Listen - if we were talking about only one video, his today's words, perhaps, could be understood. However, now everyone can draw their own conclusions about whether a man respects women - or a man who is now on stage. But he never apologizes to anyone. ”

About Russia and hacker attacks

Clinton: “Our intelligence has just made a statement these days that the Kremlin, that is, Putin and the Russian government, are guided by attacks, hacking the accounts in America in order to influence our elections. WikiLeaks participates in this, and there are other sites where the Russians hacker information. We don’t even know if this is true, and they post it.

In the history of our country, we have never encountered such a situation that the enemy, a foreign power, makes so much effort to influence the outcome of the elections. And believe me, not for that they do it to choose me. They do this to try to influence the elections in favor of Donald Trump.

Maybe because he praised Putin; Maybe because, as he himself says, he agrees with many what Putin wants to do; Maybe because he wants to do business in Moscow - I do not know the reasons. But we deserve answers. And we must demand the disclosure of Donald of all his tax returns so that people see what connections and financial relations he has with Russian and other foreign powers. ”

Trump: “I don't know Putin. I think it would be wonderful if we found a common language with Russia, because we could fight ISIS together, for example. But I don't know Putin.

But what I noticed-every time something bad happens, they like to say that these are Russians. She does not know if it was Russian hackers. Maybe there were no hackers. But they always blame Russia. And the reason why they blame Russia - they think that they can denigrate me with the help of Russia. I do not know anything about Russia ... I know about Russia, but I do not know how everything is arranged in Russia. I'm not doing anything there. I have no business there. I have no loans from Russia. ”

About Islam and Muslims

Question: “After the election, how can you help me [Muslims - The Insider] to cope with the consequences that the label of the country is hung on us?”

Trump: “We can be very political correct, but we like it or not - there is a problem. ⟨...⟩ To solve the problem, you need to be able to state what it is, or at least call it. But she [Clinton] will not call her, and President Obama will not call her. And there is a name. This is radical Islamic terrorism. ”

Clinton: “To immerse yourself in demagogic rhetoric about Muslims, like Donald, very short -sighted and even dangerous. ⟨...⟩ I intend to defeat ISIS, united with most Muslim nations. ⟨...⟩ We are not fighting with Islam. "

About Syria

Clinton: “There are decisive efforts of the Russian Air Force, aimed at the destruction of Aleppo in order to destroy the last Syrian rebels, who really resist the Assad regime.

Russia does not pay any attention to ISIS. They are interested in leaving Assad in power. ⟨...⟩

I want to emphasize that Russia play the role of ambition and aggressiveness of Russia. Russia decided that Syria is everything for her. And they also decided who they want to see the President of the United States - and this is not me. I gave Russia a rebuff. I answered Putin and others, and I will continue to do it as president.

I think that wherever we can cooperate with Russia is good. And I did this when I was a state secretary. ⟨...⟩ But I support efforts aimed at investigating crimes committed by Syrians and Russians, and to hold them accountable. ”

Trump: “I don't like Assad at all, but Assad destroys ISIS. Russia destroys ISIS. And Iran destroys ISIS. The three of them united because of our weak foreign policy. ”

Question (Trump): “I want to remind you what your partner said. He said that it is necessary to respond to the provocations of Russia with American force, and if Russia continues to participate in aviation raids along with the Syrian government forces of Assad, then the United States of America should be ready to use military force and strike at the military targets of the Assad regime. ”

Trump: “Okay. We did not talk to him, and I do not agree. I do not agree.

I think ISIS must be broken. Now Syria is fighting with ISIS. We have people who want to fight both of them. But Syria is no longer Syria. Syria is Russia and Iran. ”

About the attitude towards each other

Question: "Can one or the other of you call something positive that he respects in the other?"

Clinton: “I respect his children. He has incredibly capable and loving children and I think this says a lot about Donald. ”

Trump: “She does not retreat. She does not give up. I respect it. "

Based on the results of surveys conducted immediately after the debate of CNN television, together with the ORS company and the Yugov research company, the Americans considered the winner of the next fight Hillary Clinton. The next meeting of presidential candidates - the last before the elections - will be held on October 19.
