Avoid an answer, why not bring in Michelle Obama with 70 approval ratings, a good buddy to turn to for assist ta. A surprising moment at the end of the debate . Reporter there was. The debate ended on somewhat a positive note like a pal let cleanser after 90 minutes of a lot of intense perm attacks. Very interesting question of say heres what they said. I respect his children. His children are incredibly able and devoted, and i think that says a lot about donald. But she does fight hard and she doesnt quit and she doesnt give up, and i consider that to be a a very good trait. Reporter nice words, but notably both answered about themselves and how great they were, so, yeah, hes okay, shes okay, but talk about me too. Respect by saying shes a fighter. That says a lot. Abc Karen Travers live, thank you. Moving on now, and Hillary Clinton said she felt great about the debate, but added she was surprised by, quote, the absolute avalanche of falsehoods. Mike pence said it was a big debate win for trump and proud to stand with him. For more, lets go to abc chief political analyst matthew dowd. In this debate, tru w he did not improve himself. He needs a win, and he needed a win. I think when you look at points in the debate, over the course of the dont. He did fine at moments, she did fine in moments, lows on both sides, but basically, get out slight points to her winning the debate, but makes no difference in the polls. She walks out of the debate with a solid lead that she came into the debate with, and donald trump has one opportunity left, the next debate that changes dynam debate takes place on wednesday, the 19th in the crucial swing states of nevada. Joins live for that and stay with us throughout the show for more on the debate, and more on america this morning, and gma. The main concern is dangerous flooding, particularly in parts of North Carolina. The area around fayetteville, North Carolina received more than three months of rain in just a matter of 14 hours over the weekend. Look at those scenes. Rescuers pulled more than thousand people from the fast moving water. Death toll from the storm is at least 20 people and several remain missing. The cost of the storm wont be known for some time but expected to be the nations costlyist storm since sandy four years ago. In haiti, the first shipments of United Nations food aide are arriving in hard hit areas. Reports now indicate at least 900 People Killed in the storm that whipped haiti with 145 Miles Per Hour winds. There are concerns now about the spread of illness across areas where the devastation is nearly complete.

The fallen officers i as veteran officer jose, and officer lestly, department for 18 months. How two trains sideswiped each other on the new York Railroad this weekend. 33 people were hurt when a train doing maintenance caused a commuter train to derail.

The diesel dome was the third of 20 obstacles in the warrior dash event. 5500 people were running the course saturday. There were 20 to 30 people on the wooden structure when it first began to lean left and collapse. Four of the people remain hospitalized this morning. Scary stuff. Ive done that exact race. Yeah .

Moments, with no love lost between the two, no handshake, and clinton had hate in her several times, and that trump doesnt have the discipline according to clinton. How effective was the confrontational approach was . Reporter good morning, dian. I think not that effective if your goal is to get more voters over to your campaign, and, of course, win the election. Why . Because these voters here in the United States have made it clear they do not want to get down in the gutter with these candidates anymore. And, toni w the gutter more than weve seen before starting at the very beginning. As you said, no handshake, but then also Donald Trumps signaling a new strategy in the campaign bringing in the bill Clinton Accusers from decades ago, sitting them in the audience, and so its a real new low from an already pretty low campaign. And trump offered an apology for the 2005 recording of him talking about women. Do you think he did enough to put that issue behind him . Reporter i think with some enough. He, again, blamed it on that locker room banter, and thats not enough for voters who are undecided, and, of course, a lot of female voters we know in the last abc News Washington post poll, donald trump with a 19point gender gap with women. I think this is a question that will keep on getting asked over the next month. No doubt. Plenty of remarkable moments, but one interesting one is when trump split with his running mate, mike pence, about the how significant was that . Reporter it was significant, a stunning moment, and the most talked about moment on facebook. And it was incredible because not only did donald trump disagree with his running mate on syria policy, but he said he had not spoken to him about it. This is a time where, of course, the Trump Campaign is going through crisis, but the larger party is going through a crisis. Its not a time for the actual ticket to look like they are not united either. Ahead . Reporter i think its going to continue to see a pretty dirty campaign. I think that tonight saw a new strategy from the Trump Campaign to bring up these old accusers of bill clinton. Weve seen donald trump say hes going to bring these women up, but weve also seen courses throughout the campaign not. His Campaign Manager, and his daughter didnt want donald trump to bring up bill cl others in the campaign won out. Well continue to see this scorched strategy until november 8th.

It was a fly debate. The best jokes are the ones you have to explain over and over again. A fly debate because yes, yes. Well explain. Good morning, im diane macedo. Im kendis gibson. We start with de a tense showdown marked by insults as well as attacks. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton took the stage in st. Louis last night ripping each other on everything from email to taxes. Trump forced to respond to comments about women exposed in a decades old video causing republicans to withdrawal their support. Reporter candidates dropping pleasantries before uttering a word, no handshake, and didnt elephant in the room. Donald trumps july remornings caught by an open microphone in 2005. This was locker room talk. Im not proud of it. I apologize to my family and the american people. Im not proud of it, but this is locker room talk. Reporter clintons accusers sitting in the audience did not take long to deflect to the former president. If you like at bill clinton, mine are words, his actions. Reporter Hillary Clinton did not take the bait, but blasted trump over the tape. What we all saw and heard on friday was donald talking about women, what he thinks about women, what he does to women, and he has said that the video doesnt represent who he is, but i think its clear to anyone who heard it it represents exactly who he is. But i think its clear to anyone reporter trump wasting no time poupsing on emails saying if elected hed appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her use of a private server. Its just awfully good someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. Because youd be in jail. Its just not true, so so you didnt delete them . Personal emails, not official. 33,000. Reporter slamming trump on taxes. Well, everything you heard now from donald is not true. Im sorry i have to keep saying this, but he lives in an alternative reality, and it is sort of amusing to hear somebody who has not paid federal income taxes in 20 years talk about what hes going to do. Reporter trump acknowledged taking advantage of a tax loophole, but insisted he pays some federal taxes and fired back as clinton tries to explain a leaked transcript from a speech implying she sometimes held a different position in president lincoln was trying to convince some people he used some arguments, convincing other people, he used other arguments. That was a great, i thought, a great display of president ial leadership. Now shes blaming the lie on the late, great abraham lincoln. Thats one i havent heard. Honest abe, never lied. Thats the big difference between abe lincoln and you. With his running mate on syria after Martha Raddatz says pence said last week the u. S. Should be ready to strike military targets of the bashar assad regime. We disagree. You disagree with your running mate . Right now, syria is fighting isis. Before, for the first time the words sex tape were uttered when discussing trumps twitter rant which discussing former miss universe. Joining us from the debate hall in st. Louis, Karen Travers has the breakdown. Karen thank you so much for joining us. We got a little bit of a surprise ending to all of this. A very con in the end, they had something nice to say. How were the responses received . Reporter you know, it felt like the end of kindergarten, the kids fight, and before you leave, say one nice thing about the person next to you. Hillary clinton says she respects donald trump because of his children, and donald trump said that Hillary Clinton is a fighter who will not quit, but, diane, this is not going to be something that were going to see, i think, over the next couple days on the campaign trail. Today, they are back in the battleground states. Hillary clinton in ohio. Donald trump is next door in and all those nice pleasantries ending last night will be completely forgotten. In 48 hours, theres been buzz online about mike pence possibly dropping off the trump ticket. Whats the latest on that front . Reporter well, mike pence seemed to put the nail in the coffin on that. Last night, he spoke to donald trump after the debate. We were told it was a very positive conversation, and pence co debate, and he actually tweeted, too, so publicly tweeted that donald trump had a big win last night, and that he is looking forward to working with him to make America Great again, so, a very public sign of support from mike pence, certainly, going to put to rest some of the talk, but that was really something over the last couple of days, the idea that as more republicans were jumping ship, that his running mate would be one of them. So questionable whether hell attend events scheduled for some standout moments in terms of comments, people on social media talk about the body language in the whole town hall style with trump and clinton at times, it looked like they were stalking each other, following each other around the event space there. What was it like there in the hall . Reporter yeah. Its a super awkward setup. You have two stools for the candidates to sit on, but they are lowed to free wheel, microphones, and if you have not prepared for it, say one of the candidates didnt prepare for it, you might not know where some of the blocking and where to stand and where the cameras are. Theres moments where Hillary Clinton is talking to someone in the audience, and over her shoulder is joint Donald Trumps head right there. Hillary clinton was asked about it on her plane ride last night after leaving st. Louis and said, oh, yeah, she felt the presence and knew he was there, but trying to give him space and go back to her stool and let him wander around, but remember four years ago . There were moments between mitt romney and barack obama where eight years ago, john mccain, a spoof on snl seemed like he was wandering off to the side going off the stage. Its a tough thing. You have to prepare for it. You get on the stage, look around, and you are, like, where do i go . A really, really small room, cutting into each others space quite a bit. Karen travers there in st.

Shes a minute over, and you dont stop her, but im a second over, and its really very interesting. One of many intense moments with donald trump growing frustrated with the mod moderators he believed were favoring Hillary Clinton. It was not necessarily his words, but actions that spoke volumes to many viewers taking to twitter last night. You may have noticed quite a few times while Hillary Clinton was speaking, trump appeared to be kind of lurking or hovering, just standing right behind her. Yeah. It actually sparked memes. Including this from Ariana Huffington trump hovering over her now, id advise her to stay out of grabbing distance. Michael moore, is it just me . Why is he Still Standing there, why . Walker tweeted in the debate, but not about the debate. Wisconsin governor made it clear he wanted no part of the debate and, instead, tuned into the big game cheering on the packers, tweeting out, touchdown packers. Packers won. It was not your imagination, there was a fly on Hillary Clintons face last night. I thought it was on the television, but it landed right between her eyes, her hand, and sparked quite a few comments about lord of the flies, and could it just been a promo . Brilliant on hbos part. Though, it is worth mentioning Karen Travers says the staging is tough, and this is not the first time candidates had awkward places to stand and unsure where they are supposed stage setup. Favorite moment was when there was one particular photo that was captured of the candidates with their microphones up, and theres been so many memes about them singing a duet, island in the stream. They are even looking at each other, about to walk past each other. I like baby its cold outside. But i really must go. Beautiful to look at the memes after the debate.

He threw more than 100 yards and three touchdowns against cleveland. Those are just some of our top stories on this monday, october 10th. From abc news, this is world news now. So they called it a debate, but it kind of seemed they just ding, ding, ding. It was fight night. No, but, actually fighters shake hands before. There was no handshake. A lot of name calling in the debate, no doubt, and plenty of interruptions as well. Last nights faceoff started, as we said, with a mutual snub. Neither Hillary Clinton nor donald trump shook each others hands, but giving a nod, and this, of course, after a weekend marked by the release of a bomb shell video and surprise 11th hour press conference. Your voice, your vote, karen can we call them highlights . Low lights . Good morning. Reporter highlights, low lights, personal attack lights, good morning, kendis and diane. You wanted fireworks . You got them. For days, donald trump made it clear he thinks bill clintons is not just fair game, but critical for the election. The question was, would donald trump hold the fire like he did in the first debate and talk about how restrained he was . Quickly, and it was, no, he was not going to hold back. The personal attacks did not stop there. Straight out of the gate, the tension was clear. No handshake between the two bitter rivals. Donald trump under fire for that 2005 audio recording with his crude comments about women. Im not proud of it. I apologize to my family. I apologize to the american people. Reporter Hillary Clinton with days to prep her response saying trump is not fit to be president. I think its clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is. Reporter and then 15 minutes in, trump goes nuclear, accusing former president bill clinton of sexual misconduct. If you a mine are words, his action. Reporter Hillary Clinton not willing to engage. Im reminded of what my friend, Michelle Obama, advised us all. When they go low, you go high. Reporter the two candidates battled it out over clintons emails and private server. Its awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. Because youd be in jail. Reporter and trump defending himself against reports that he may have avoided federal taxes did you lose that loss to a void paying federal incomes taxes . Of course i do. Of course i do. She complains donald trump took advantage of the tax code. Why not change it when you were senator . Reporter and, today, it is back to the battleground states. Hillary clinton campaigning in ohio. Donald trump is next door in pennsylvania. No doubt that last nights debate will be looming very large over the campaign trail. Diane, kendis . Karen, another thing that came up in the debate, of course, leaked transcripts of clintons paid speeches to wall street. How might that play out on the campaign trail today . Reporter the biggest vulnerability for Hillary Clinton heading into last nights debate. Wikileaks put out what seemed to be transcripts of her speeches to wall street. She took heat about that in the primaries from bernie sanders. Saying she was in favor of open trade and open borders. Different than what she said on last night, Hillary Clinton pivoting from the substance of the question and what she said in the speeches, but going after russia for being behind the leaks, documents put out there, saying russia is trying to be involved in the election, trying to influence it, and she said they are not trying to legislate me. And, karen, you covered these debates before, always get a sense in that room where you are, the spin room, which campaign thinks theyve won, so, based on the mood, who won . Reporter yeah, everybody always thinks they won. I mean, its rare when you have campaigns coming ian i do remember, though, covering the 2004 Bush Campaign after the first debate, none of the bush staffers wanted to talk. Well, tonight, the trump came pain made an aggressive effort in the spin room saying their guy won, celebration mood on the plane back from st. Louis to new to say who won, donald trump really needed to not just knock it out of the park, but a grand slam because of how badly he was perceived in the first debate.
