when they go low, you go high. trump also going after those deleted e-mails, vowing to prosecute his opponent if he becomes president. >> you'd be in jail. >> the candidates squaring off. our powerhouse political team is here this morning. breaking down this pivotal moment of the race to the white house, on this special edition of "gma." and good morning, america. boy, it was harsh. it was personal. downright nasty. 29 days before the final votes, hillary clinton, donald trump, now done with the darkest presidential debate ever. >> it was also the most tweeted one ever. 17 million related tweets sent during the hour and half. the buildup to the debate dominated by talk of the leaked comments. >> look at this. nods from the candidates. no handshake. two people who did, the spouses. melania trump and bill clinton. and there was that moment early on, trump threatening clinton with jail if elected. we have never seen anything close to that before. >> and as expected, both sides claiming victory. both were celebrating once the event ended. trump sharing this photo with his family, and hillary clinton all smiles after the let's start with jon karl. >> for this campaign, last night's debate represented a new low. this was the nastiest, meanest, most personal presidential debate we have ever seen. >> reporter: even before the first words were spoken, that non-handshake made history. the first time that's happened in a presidential debate. over an 11-year-old video that rocked the trump campaign. >> you bragged that you have sexually assaulted women. do you understand that? >> no, i didn't say that at all. i don't think you understood what was said. this was locker room talk. i'm not proud of it. i apologized to my family. i apologized to the american people. certainly i'm not proud of it. >> reporter: clinton speaking out on the tape for the first time. >> he has said that the video doesn't represent who he is, but i think it's clear to anyone who ar exactly who he is. >> it's just words, folks. it's just words. >> reporter: and after days of buildup, trump went there. dredging up bill clinton's sex scandals. even inviting clinton's accusers to sit in the front row. >> you can say it any way you want to say it, but bill clinton was abusive to women. hillary clinton attacked those same women. >> when i hear something like friend, michelle obama, advised us all. when they go low, you go high. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: trump then turned his attack to hillary clinton's e-mails. >> if i win, i'm going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. >> it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you'd be in jail. >> reporter: a heated exchange that quickly boiled over. >> it's just not true. and so please -- >> you didn't delete them? >> allow her to respond please. >> those were personal e-mails not official -- well, we turned over 35,000. >> what about the other 15,000? >> please allow her to respond. >> i would like to get to the questions that the people have brought here tonight to talk us to about. >> and get off this question. >> okay, donald. i know you're into big diversion tonight. anything to avoid talking about your campaign and the way it's exploding and the way republicans are leaving you. but let's at least focus on some >> let's see what happens. >> reporter: their first town hall encounter was a contrast in styles. clinton taking vigorous notes from her seat. trump pacing, glaring, sniffling. at one point, trailing clinton around. they clashed over trump's admission that he used loopholes to avoid paying taxes. >> of course i do. of course i do. she complains that donald trump took advantage of the tax cut. ll why didn't you change the tax code when you were senator? >> i was a senator with a republican president. i will be the president that gets it done. >> if you were an effective senator, you could have done it. >> under our constitution, presidents have something called veto power. >> reporter: they clashed over a paid speech by clinton. that politicians need to say one thing in public and another in private. >> as i recall, that was something i said about abraham lincoln. after having seen the wonderful making the point that it is hard sometimes to get the congress to do what you want to do. >> she lied. now she's blaming the lie on the late, great abraham lincoln. that's one that i haven't heard. okay. honest abe. honest abe never lied. that's the good thing. that's the big difference between abraham lincoln and you. >> reporter: then, a political shocker. trump disagreeing with his running mate. governor mike pence. >> i want to remind you what your running he said, provocations by russia need to be met with american strength, and if russia continues to be involved in air strikes along with the syrian government force of assad, the united states of america should be prepared to use military force to strike the military targets of the assad regime. >> okay. he and i haven't spoken and i disagree. >> reporter: the debate was defined by insults and interruptions. it came to a surprising close each other. >> i respect his children. his children are -- incredibly able. and devoted. and i think that says a lot about donald. >> she does fight hard. and she doesn't quit. and she doesn't give up. and i consider that to be a very good trait. >> reporter: those compliments finally leading to the handshake at the very end of the debate. before the debate, trump's own running mate, mike pence, harshly criticized him for what he said on that 2005 video clip. as you heard, trump bluntly disagreed with pence during the debate. when it was all over, pence tweeted his congratulations to trump saying, quote, proud to stand with you as we make america great again. >> yeah, he put the rumors to rest. a lot of talk over the weekend about whether mike pence should go to the top of the ticket. among top republicans, and when donald trump walked on that stage last night, his campaign and his party were in a state of crisis. vowing not to vote for him after that leak. did trump do enough to stop that exodus? >> reporter: well, we'll know in a few weeks, george, good morning. donald trump took the debate to a whole new level last night. he decided to move forward with a top-secret plan the campaign felt would divert attention from the recording scandal. donald trump came into the second presidential debate with a trick up his sleeve. and it was our honor to help them. >> reporter: less than two hours before the showdown, trump inviting reporters to his hotel to show off his special guests. >> actions speak louder than words. >> reporter: among them, three women who have accused former president bill clinton of sexual assault and harassment. the republican nominee's counterattack to the "access hollywood" tape that had him bragging about sexually assaulting women. they let you do it. you can do anything. >> whatever you want. grab them by the [ bleep ]. you can do anything. >> reporter: the tape leading to an exodus of republican leaders. at the debate, trump inviting the women to sit with his family in the front row of the debate hall. and pointing them out on live tv to the country. >> there's never been anybody in the history of politics in this nation that's been so abusive to women. so but bill clinton was abusive to women. hillary clinton attacked those same women. and attacked them viciously, four of them here tonight. >> reporter: clinton chose not to address the women. putting the focus on trump's own record. >> we have seen him rate women on their appearance. ranking them from 1 to 10. we have seen him embarrass women on tv and on twitter. when clinton was in office. look what he said in 1998. >> i don't necessarily agree with his victims. the victims are terrible. he is -- >> careful here. >> he is really -- a victim himself. but he put himself in that position. >> reporter: two of the women telling me after the debate they did not feel like they were being used by trump. do you think donald trump used you as a political prop today? >> no. not at all. there to scare hillary clinton? >> i don't feel -- if i felt that way, i wouldn't be here. hillary clinton is a fake feminist. a champion of women does not attack the victims of sexual assault. period. >> reporter: now both bill and hillary clinton have denied those accusations. one of the accusers told me last night after the debate, she was not paid to be there, but the travel costs were covered by the >> thank you very much. >> and the clinton campaign is reacting to donald trump's attacks overnight. and his decision to bring up and invite women who have accused bill clinton of sexual assault. abc's cecilia vega also in st. louis, and what are you hearing from the clinton camp? >> reporter: let me list a few of the words clinton's aides are using to describe trump and what he did. desperate. a side show. an attempt to distract. hillary clinton was on the campaign plane overnight. she spoke to reporters. her husband, bill, was on the flight, as well. surprised by trump's tone, and the people in the hall. listen to what she had to say. >> nothing surprises me about him. i was surprised by the absolute avalanche of falsehoods. i -- i really -- find it almost unimaginable that someone can stand and just tell, you know, a falsehood after a falsehood. >> reporter: now, one aide told me before she took the stage, hillary clinton was well aware of the possibility that these women could be inside the hall. the clinton team is chocking up trump's move as an attempt to intimidate her. >> jon karl mentioned this. a lot of discussion on twitter last night about how close donald trump seemed to get to hillary clinton on stage. what is her campaign saying about that? >> reporter: well, robin, they're not letting this one go. in fact, said she could feel the proximity of donald trump behind her. one aide called his proximity menacingly stalking her on the stage. there was no love lost on the stage last night. you know it started without a handshake. >> it sure did. cecilia, thank you. want to bring that to martha raddatz. she was right there last night. on the debate stage as the co-moderator. thank you for joining us. great job last night. but, you know, we're all talking about this. you were only a few feet from those two candidates last night. give us a sense of what it felt of all, george, and you have been in these situations before. you don't really know what to expect. particularly last night, you didn't know what the candidate plans were. we knew what had happened with the clinton accusers right before the debate and that was right before we walked into the hall. it was that lack of a handshake from the beginning when they came together and didn't shake hands, you knew you were in for a long we were -- it was very easy to see mr. trump following secretary clinton around. you could feel that in the room. the other thing that we forget is this was a town hall. there was an audience there. there were people asking questions. who were hearing these exchanges and they had to be somewhat surprised. >> i want to ask you about that, as well. you were so close to the questioners, as well. could you sense any reaction from them to any of the big moments in the debate? particularly the moment where donald trump talked about a special prosecutor and clinton >> reporter: well, i think -- obviously, ewe were going to focus on the candidates, but when i looked around in between when the candidates were talking, people were staying very still and did not want to be on camera with any surprised looks. but i think there was a lot of surprise from the audience and what was said before that debate. we talked to the people before they went out there. they were nervous about who would get called on. they thought they were ready for ev for that. >> i think you're probably right. let me bring in matthew dowd. this debate last night breaks new ground in presidential races. the big question 29 days out, what difference did it make? donald trump went in behind. did he put himself back in the race? >> that's the thing. unlike christopher columbus, there's no new world discovered in this. when you have a chip lead, which hillary clinton does, a pretty significant chip lead, you have to start taking her chips back. trump did better than he did the last time, he didn't take a single chip from her stack. when you go into the debate with the lead and come out with the lead, that actually is a win for hillary clinton. >> his number one job last night may have simply been to stop the bleeding on the republican side after the dozens of defections over the weekend. >> i actually think this could be the worst case scenario for the republican party in this. he did well enough to keep other republicans from leaving. but those who didn't want to be stuck with him are stuck with him for the remainder of the campaign. >> you think the defections stopped for now? >> at least 24 hours. we don't know what will come out in the next few weeks. >> matthew dowd, martha raddatz. >> there's been early voting already. does that affect one over the other? or help one candidate over the other? >> that's important to keep in mind. this is not a debate that is going to be decided on november 8th. it's being decided now. as long as hillary clinton even if donald trump closes the gap in these last few days, she would win this race right now. we move on to the massive cleanup effort from hurricane matthew. the deadly storm claiming at least 900 lives in haiti. here in the u.s., at least 22 people have died. in north carolina, they are now facing devastating flooding. abc's matt gutman joins us now on the ground in wilson. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. more bad news for people living it's not rained a drop here in 36 hours. i'm here with wilson fire and rescue. they say that this area hasn't flooded like in in 20 years, and that's because the ground is so saturated and these folks consider themselves the lucky ones. with its last gasp, matthew pounded the carolinas with wind, rain, even fire. the storm blew transformers in charleston, the rain was relentless. the morning, whole towns submerged. that's three months of rain in just 24 hours. it's the worst flooding since hurricane floyd nearly 20 years ago. the water sending rivers over their banks and bursting at least two dams. >> as the sun rises in north carolina and the blue sky returns, our state is facing major destruction. and sadly, loss of life. >> back up. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: 21 lives lost. five still missing. most of them swept away in cars. more than 1,000 rescues. >> she's standing on top of her vehicle, guys. >> reporter: this woman in red perched on her car as rescuers approach. notice the bundle under her arm. that's her baby. scooped to safety by rescuers. >> it's okay. >> reporter: this man holding on to that yield sign for dear life. the national guard plowing through the waters, rescuing this woman. so many people caught off guard streets have become fast-moving rivers here. more than 3,000 still in shelters. millions without power in the south. >> and now the water is just over. >> reporter: blake smith is among those newly homeless. we accompanied the father of two toddlers as he returned home. i'm sorry, blake. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: whoa. now we're not out of the danger zone yet. officials are monitoring additional dams across the state that are in threat of breaching. the weather is improving here. >> thank you. we're thinking of you and we're thinking of all those impacted by matthew. we go to ginger with more on the flooding. >> thinking of all those and the emergency responders which did so much work in north carolina alone, more than 1,000 water rescues. look, fdny was there helping out. huh a lot of people from different places helping, and unfortunately, the threat not over. flood warnings from red from delaware through maryland, virginia, north carolina, south carolina, the tar river, for example, crests today. and right there this river to friday. not yet rated.

you remember when that fly landed on hillary clinton going from her face to her hand. it my house. inspired its own twitter account in the process. just one of the many moments we have coming up. >> they had a lot of fun on twitter last night. >> they did. first, we have more fallout from the video that sent donald trump's campaign spiraling over the weekend. put a spotlight on his history with women. we have linsey davis with us. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, george. while donald trump is dismissing his comments on the bus as just in morning, new zealand's tv-3 released a video from 1993 where trump was asked about his womanizing image. his response at the time is that it's fortunate he doesn't have to run for political office. it's the audio recording sending shock waves across the election. >> i'm automatically attracted to beautiful -- i just start kissing them. i don't wait. and when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. grab them by the [ bleep ]. you can do anything. >> reporter: hollywood" clip leaked by "access hollywood" is blowing up. the republican nominee caught on a hot mike. >> i had tried and [ bleep ]. i moved on her like a [ bleep ]. i couldn't get there. all of a sudden, i see her and she has the big, phony [ bleep ]. >> reporter: o'dell released a statement. politics aside, i'm saddened that these comments still exist. in our society at all. but according to a for former "apprentice" producer, there are other tapes. at least 8 of the team that was talked to claimed the mogul repeatedly made lewd comments about a camera woman he said had a nice rear, comparing her beauty to that of his daughter, ivanka. allegations trump denies. trump has made comments about ivanka's appearance in the past like on howard stern. >> you know who is one of the great beauties of the world, according to everybody and i helped create her? >> who? >> ivanka. my daughter, ivanka. she's six feet tall. >> by the way, your daughter, a piece of [ bleep ]. did your daughter get breast implants? >> why? did she look a little more fat? >> reporter: in 2006, this on "the view." clinton used the debate to highlight trump's attacks on the former miss universe alicia machado's weight. >> he called this woman, miss piggy. her name is alicia machado. >> reporter: trump spoke out on fox news. >> she was the worst we ever had. the worst. the absolute worst. she gained a massive amount of weight and -- it was -- it was a real problem. >> reporter: trump's recent remarks put his most notorious sexual harassment claim back in the headlines. a 1997 lawsuit filed by his one-time business partner, jill harsh. she says he referred to women as sex objects. saying he made repeated advances. including a 1993 incident where she claims he forced her into a hotel room at his mar-a-lago me. was always trying to grope me and touch me. i had to tell him to stop. >> reporter: trump denied those allegations. harth later withdrew her comments. as part of a settlement for a separate contract dispute with him. she briefly dated him when he was separated from marla maples. robin and george? >> thank you. let's bring in cokie roberts and dan abrams. dan, you spoke to jill harth before the gop convention. at the time, the story didn't get traction. >> i was amazed by that. you have a woman w f assault. now, for the first time, coming out and telling her story. and no one seemed to care. i mean, i tweeted out at the time, i'm perplexed that this allegation is not getting more attention. that doesn't mean her story is true. there are problems with her account. the fact that she dated him afterwards. she wrote very nice e-mails to him after the fact. that's fine. that's a way to say maybe we don't necessarily believe this. bringing out all of these women, some of whom's stories are stronger than others and saying, why aren't they being heard raises an issue. >> flatly denied any sexual assault. >> absolutely. at the time, he got on the phone with my reporter and started undermining the credibility of this accuser. saying she wanted me. she was in love with me. it's all untrue. et cetera. >> there is a big difference with this and that tape we heard from "access hollywood." which is all the rest of it is he said, she said. the situation with the bill clinton accusers, too. the tape was donald trump's own voice talking about the things that he does with women. and that -- >> last night, he was denying his own words. >> you can't do that, however. we have heard them. and so, you know, unless it's someone doing a really good imitation of donald trump, it was him saying those things. >> before the video, he had a huge deficit when it came to women voters. did he do anything last night to and really, the swing voters in this election, where we know where minorities are, they might not be as enthusiastic as they were four years ago. we know where the young people are. we know where single people are. the swing voters have been these college-educated white women who went for mitt romney by six points and in our last poll, went for hillary clinton by 25 points. they last night saw nothing to bring them to donald. >> that is a huge swing. another story breaking this morngs dan morning, dan. "usa today" reporting on 20 lawsuits where there are allegations of sexual harassment and -- >> donald trump has a history of suing. lawnewz has done a chronicle of the lawsuits he's been involved in. this isn't new. right? this issue isn't new. what's new is suddenly we seem to care about it. i mean, i don't mean to be criticizing the media here, but has been out there. as cokie pointed out, now there's a tape. a tape with him using these word. it changes everything. >> and it's four weeks from tomorrow. and we don't know what other tapes may come out. >> you've been doing this a long time. >> i have been doing this a long time. >> and you have never seen anything like this? >> nobody has ever seen anything like this. it's a unique campaign. an overused word. not in the case. coming up in two minutes, our debate fact check. how do the words hold up? jo microscope. jon karl will put the microscope. how do the how do the now that karen's taking osteo bi-flex, she's noticing a real difference in her joint comfort... "she's single." ...and high levels of humiliation in her daughter. in just 7 days, your joint comfort can be your kid's discomfort. osteo bi-flex. made to move. you're acting so funny, what's wrong, billy? my doctor says i have skittles pox. are they contagious? we're back now with our debate fact check. both candidates accusing each other of lying multiple times. abc's jon karl is back. you were there at the debate hall. you are here. okay. do your thing. >> no shortage of things to fact-check. let's begin with the question of hillary clinton's e-mails. donald trump made this extraordinary accusation. like this where e-mail, and you get a subpoena, you get a subpoena, and after getting the subpoena, you delete 33,000 e-mails. >> well, we rated that mostly true. in fact, hillary clinton did or -- 33,000 of her e-mails were deleted just a week after she received a subpoena from the congressional committee investigating benghazi. it's important to point out that fbi director james comey said he did not think there was any quote, evil intent or intent to obstruct justice, which appears to be what donald trump was suggesting. and then the alleged russian hack of the dnc. here's what donald trump said about that. >> anytime anything wrong happens, they like to say the russians. she doesn't know. it might not be the russians doing the hacking. maybe there is no hacking. they always blame russia. >> we rated that false. because the intelligence community, and robin, this is intelligence community came out with a finding that the u.s. intelligence community is confident that's the russian government directed the recent compromises of e-mails. we believe based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only russia's senior most officials could have authorized these activities. >> what's extraordinary is that presumably donald trump is getting these intelligence briefings every day. >> absolutely, and, you know, the one thing that will that the intelligence community has been wrong in the past. but this is a finding without dispute. >> also the late-night tweeting came up. >> this was the case of alicia machado. >> days after the first debate you sent out a series of tweets from 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. including one telling people to check out a sex tape. is that the discipline of a good president? >> no. it wasn't that. it was take a look at this person she built up to be a girl scout. she was no girl scout. >> this one is point blank false. donald trump tweeted what anderson said. did crooked hillary help disgusting check out sex tape and past alicia machado become a u.s. citizen? so i mean, he said it word for word, and he said he didn't. >> what about the khan family. >> first of all, captain khan is an american hero. and, if i were president at that time, he would be alive today. because unlike her, who voted for the war without knowing what she was doing, i would not have had our people in iraq. iraq was a disaster. so he would have been alive today. >> well, the khan family did its own fact-check on this saying in a statement just after the debate ended, quote, we know that our son, captain humayun khan is an american hero. we also know that donald trump is not telling the truth when he says he was against the iraq honor and sacrifice. the only thing donald sacrifices is the truth. >> i'm going to bring in matt again. i can't believe i'm going to even aski you this. does it even matter? it's been known that both sides have told flat-out lies. it doesn't seem to matter. to voters. >> the truth has been sacrificed in the course of this campaign. i think the majority of merges want to understand the facts and want to understand the truth, but the majority of partisans, die hard partisans, don't seem to want to understand the facts, and that's a very troubling sign for our democracy to get to the common good. if we don't share a common set of facts and we have to keep yelling from the mountain tops, here's the facts, people don't want to hear it. >> that development has been growing for some time, though. >> it's been growing for the last 20, 25 years. the ability to get stuff done in washington, the ability to get stuff done in the capitals. it's okay to share different opinions. but when you don't have a common set of facts, you can't reach consensus. >> i can't remember the covering campaigns where they would argue with you by your fact checks and go point by point by point, and now they don't even bother. >> when i did campaigns, everything was foot-noted with facts. they don't do that anymore. >> how did we get here? how did we get to this point? >> i think part of average person today has 140 cable channels. they click around to get their biases confirmed. we have had a set of leaders that won't speak truth to power. they won't tell partisans you're wrong to think that. coming up in two minutes, what everyone was talking about on twitter last night. campbell's one dish recipes. one pan, less than 30 minutes. because if they aren't going to eat it, at least you didn't spend too much time making it. campbell's one dish recipes. but there's so much more to it. here's how benefiber? works. inside us are trillions of good microflora that support digestive health. the prebiotic fiber in benefiber? nourishes them... and what helps them, helps you. clear, taste-free, benefiber?. listerine?

amy, what were they saying at these parties last night? >> well, guys, i mean, it's pretty incredible. we're just 29 days away from the election. up their minds about who will get their vote. big questions about how women will respond to trump's apology. with time running out, these debates are taking on even more significance. here's what voters had to say. the candidates missing their mark to win over some undecided voters. the debate ending with this undecided voter trying to break up the fighting. >> regardless of the current rhetoric, would either of you name one positive thing that you respect in one another? >> reporter: undecided voters cons voting bloc. this year, roughly 1 in 9 americans haven't made up their minds. >> i think it was probably a draw. hillary was very strong in terms of being prepared. unfortunately, i thought she was very robotic. donald was very appealing. man of action. real. definitely came across as a change agent. >> reporter: at watch parties we visited in d.c., new york, and st. louis, many voters on the >> it's like tit for tat, like who can hit lower. >> reporter: even after a weekend of revelations about trump's lewd comments caught on tape. >> when you're star, they let you do it the. they let you do anything. >> reporter: some women backing him for now. >> i don't know if this debate pushed me one way or the other. i think i am still for trump, despite the apologies that haven't been quite fully >> reporter: other women disagree. >> he's a jerk. >> he is who he is. he can't help it. he just is. what comes out of his mouth is -- him. >> reporter: trump and clinton are the two most unpopular presidential candidates in polling history. some voters say they just can't stomach the choice. choice. some of those undecideds will hold on until the bitter end. about 5% of voters make up their mind on election day. george? back to you. >> amy, thank you very much. let me begin with you. the last holdouts are the hard -- hardest ones to reach. they're paying the least attention to the race. they generally care the least about it. like the candidates the least. how do the candidates reach them? >> they probably don't in the end. a lot of voters probably won't vote. if you don't -- haven't decided at this point, in this election, when will you decide? it's possible, as you heard in those sound bites from the voters, some of them are leaning one way or the other. it's possible they can be leaned the other di tape. if other things come out. and actually, at the very end, when we saw that undecided voter on the stage saying, say something nice, trump said about hillary clinton, she's a fighter. she's real fighter. that will be in ads everywhere starting today. >> he had questioned her stamina before. >> that's exactly right. >> only 29 days to go. you feel some of the undecideds may not end up voting. you have said this, too, matt. that they may just stay at home, most by that? >> donald trump's. when you're behind, you need everything to break in your way in the final 29 days. the problem for undecided voters today as we have got on the this point. 80% to 85% of them don't like and don't trust either candidate. and they're fixes to make a decision based on that. the likelihood is that they won't vote or they'll vote for a third party. i expect most undecideds to stay home or break for one of the other parties. the two campaigns are concentrating on their supporters. they want to motivate and make their supporters as enthusiastic as possible. >> this is an underappreciated fact. especially on the democratic side. they actually know where every single voter is and where they're leaning right now. >> and when we have watched these -- >> and they're going to go get them. >> we have watched the campaigns. it's called microtargeting. you know the person. you know jane jones. or mark smith or whatever in a neighborhood. and you know if they're leaning heavy toward your or slightly that. hillary clinton has more offices, more staff, more ability to do that. as i said, anything can break on the enthusiasm level. >> the other people it hurts is republicans in congress. if these voters don't show up to vote and they're primarily republican voters, that's a problem for the downballot. >> that is something to keep in mind. both of you, thank you very much. get ready for this. coming up, the latest procedure that may blast belly fat. >> yay. >> in under 30 minutes. >> can we stay?
