Why not. Why not, yeah, why not. Join the debate by saying more crazy things. Amidst the attacks making their case to the voters. I prepared to be president and i think thats a good thing. I think my strongest asset may be by far is my temperament. Our Powerhouse Political Team here this morning breaking down the crucial first showdown on a special edition of gma. And good morning, america. What a showdown last night. You know, ive been involved in every president ial debate going back 30 years. Never seen anything like this. It was fierce, personal. Both candidates relentless. This race is like none weve ever seen before. Absolutely. No question about that, unusual race, unforgettable debate. Lets look at Hillary Clinton. She stopped by a watch party to celebrate her performance. His. He went straight to reporters in the spin room to declare victory. Last nights debate expected to grab historic audience, the debate generating nearly 7 million tweets, yes, becoming the most tweeted debate ever. An estimated more thank 100 Million People watching it live almost 20 million engaging on facebook. Super bowl numbers and that conversation was so much about those viral moments, donald trump sniveling. Many people wondering if he had a lot of sniffling going on. A lot about the candidates facial expressions to clintons looks of disbelief. Much to discuss the morning after. Both candidates heading back on the trail. Theres Hillary Clintons plane ready to take off and both Vice President ial candidates are standing by right now to weigh in. But first abcs tom llamas is at Hofstra University where they good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you. What a night in front of that massive audience, Hillary Clinton called donald trump a racist, a sexist and said he was not releasing his taxes because he wanted to hide his tax rate. Now, donald trump said Hillary Clinton is not healthy enough to become president and said after 30 years in Public Service she has nothing to show for it. The first president ial debate turned into a backyard brawl. So when you try to act holier than thou, it realloe work. I have a feeling that by the end of this evening im going to be blamed for everything thats ever happened. Why not. Why not, yeah, why not. Reporter early on clinton painting trump as a rich kid who turned into a ruthless businessman. He started his business with 14 million borrowed from his father. And he really believes that the more you help wealthy people, the better off well be and that everything will work out from there. I dont buy that. Reporter the candidates repeatedly interrupting each she tells you ow to fight isis on her website. I dont think general Douglas Macarthur would like that too much. Next segment at least i have a plan to fight. Reporter clinton putting trump on defense over not releasing his taxes. But he to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino license and they showed he didnt pay any federal income tax. So that makes me smart. Reporter but trump winning over the crowd when he said this when she re emails that have been deleted as soon as she releases them i will release i will release my tax returns. Reporter clinton addressing her email scandal. You know, i made a mistake using a private email. Thats for sure. And if i had to do it over again i would obviously do it differently. But im not going to make any excuses. It was a mistake and i take responsibility for that. Reporter but then trump hit pushed the notion that president barack obama was not born in the u. S. For five years knowing it was a lie. I was the one that got him to produce the birth certificate and i think i did a good job. Im sorry, i will let you respond to that because theres a lot there but were talking about racial healing in this segment. What do you say to americans well, it was really i say nothing. I say nothing. Reporter always trump struggled clinton took he has really started his political activity based on this racist lie that our first black president was not an american citizen. Reporter the republican nominee maintaining he was against the war in iraq though no proof of that exists. Donald supported the invasion of iraq. Wrong. That is absolutely wrong. Proved. I was against the war in iraq just so you put the record shows otherwise but the record does not show reporter but trump taking his own shots reminding voters of clintons recent health issues. Ive been all over the place. You decided to stay home. Reporter but clinton turned the tables on that attack. 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. Reporter trump also questioning clintons appearance and stamina. She doesnt have the look. She doesnt have the s be president of this country. You need tremendous stamina. Reporter clinton responding with a list of accomplishments. As soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a ceasefire, a release of dissidents and an opening of new opportunities in nations around the world, or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a Congressional Committee he can talk to me about stamina. Reporter then clinton harshest attacks on women. He tried to switch from looks to stamina, but this is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs. Reporter now i caught up with trump after the debate and he told me the reason why he did not bring up bill clintons past infidelities after Hillary Clinton attacked him on those comments on women. Heres what he said. Mr. Trump, how do you think you did tonight . I thought it was great. I mean, i got eth i got it out other than the transgressions of bill but i thought and i didnt want to do it with chelsea who i think is a very wonderful young lady. I didnt want to say what i was going to say with chelsea in the room so maybe theyre well off to bring chelsea all the time. Reporter now trump did have one complaint. He said his mike was defective and wondered out loud in the spin room if that was done on purpose, george. Done on purpose. Okay, tom llamas, thanks very much. Lets move to Hillary Clinton right now back on the campaign Westchester County airport, clintons plane is there and their team seemed pretty buoyant. Reporter theyre already declaring victory and the plane behind me about to take off in a couple of hours for what her campaign is calling a battleground blitz off the trail so long prepping and heading off to six states in four days. I want to show you from video from last night. Hillary clinton at a watch party celebrating there with former president bill clinton. Her hands in r. Experience. She says she was on that stage. She got to get out the points that she set out to make. Her campaign on the other hand using much stronger words. One source telling me donald trump was unhinged, another one telling me that he bailed, that he melted down before 100 Million People. We all know that Hillary Clinton in these mock debates had practiced for what she said could be two Donald Trumps showing up. George, her team last night very much feels like a donald trump who went off message was the one you think theyll highlight on the stump and ads from that debate . Reporter what, are we just a few hours after this debate and we are already seeing the effects of what happened last night. The proclinton proHillary Clinton super pac haste new ad out and have a clip of him talking about his temperament and Hillary Clinton herself, her team has a new web video out where they are talking about donald trump basically his calling her miss piggy so i think were seeing this in effect. Big moments for them. It has just begun. Over to michael. All right, thank you, george. Abcs team has factchecked the candidates claims overnight and joining us is jon karl with the results. Good morning, jon. Good morning. How are you doing . A lot of key statements. The birther question, questions about iraq. Youre here to factcheck them. We heard what donald trump had to say. No question there were most came from donald trump and the biggest were on those two subject, first of all the birther movement. He once again claimed it was the Hillary Clinton campaign that started the birther movement. This is simply not true. This was a Fringe Movement until donald trump took it mainstream. Thats simply false. When it comes to the iraq war he once again said he had been adamantly opposed to the iraq war from the start. The only definitive statement on this comes from that famous howard stern interview where he said i gue he points to an interview that he did in january of 2003 on fox news but even that interview is not decisive. Heres what he said there. President bush has either got to do something or not do something, perhaps, because perhaps he shouldnt be doing it yet and perhaps we should be waiting for the united nations. Not a definitive statement. Simply another false claim. Toeing the line and facts what about that . Are those true or false . Yeah, this was a point lets replay the moment from the debate. This is what Hillary Clinton said. Donald thinks that Climate Change is a hoax perpetrated by the chinese. I think its real. I did not. I do not say that . And i think i do not say that. Okay, so what did he say . He treatweeteds the concept of Global Warming was created by and for the chinese i make u. S. Manufacturing n noncompetitive. So, yes, he did say that, now, many years later he said it was a joke but no question he did say it was a hoax created by the chinese. All right, now lets turn to Hillary Clinton. Were there any statements she made you had to factcheck . Yes, absolutely. One of the big ones was on this tra transpacific partnership. Heres the moment. The facts are i did say i but when it was negotiated which i was not responsible for, i concluded it wasnt. Well, she didnt simply say that she hoped it would be a good deal. She said emphatically this tpp sets the Gold Standard in trade agreements for free, transparent and fair trade and said it over and over again she favored this deal and eventually when it came, she opposed it. Thank you very much. Well talk to both candidates, mike pence standing by in our studio and just moments ago i spoke with Hillary Clintons running mate virginia senator tim kaine about clintons performance. I asked him what he thought was her best moment last night. Well, i think her best moment was at the end of the debate when donald trump was challenged on really stupid comments hed made about her looks and he tried to change it and say, no, i was talking about her stamina and she said, you go to 120 then you talk to me about stamina. That was such a strong answer and the other thing, robin, that was great about it is i was watching it on a channel that had a split screen and in that moment, hillary was going strong and ready for another four or five hours of the debate and donald trump was on the ropes and he was out of gas. Hillary answered questions and donald avoided them and hillary told the truth and donald told some whoppers and he just seemed rattled the longer the debate wore on so i think itll commander in chief and president. As expected, trump did push clinton on a number of topics including trade and many believe those were among his best moments. How do you respond to that . I will say at the beginning of the debate he was on the attack. Now, he wasnt laying out his own plans or policies, about the only policy he laid out in the 90 minutes was this massive tax cut for folks at the top. He was attacking on trade, but if he doesnt like what were doing with respect to trade, why is he making all his products overseas . Hes part of the problem, not part of the solution. And but, you know, ill give him credit at the opening he was attacking hard but he wasnt answering questions when it got to his tax return, when it got to why he had perpetrated this bigoted lie that the president , president obama, was not a u. S. Citizen. It was just very, very hard for him to respond. And secretary clintonid has over his comments about racism and america. Do you think that will resonate with voters . You know, i think her pushing him, i think, was effective. But, robin, in some ways i think the more effective part of it was just watching him struggle with an answer. Senator kaine, you step into the rein next, the vp debate is coming up. Based on last night, will you change your strategy at all in no, you know, its a debate thats, again, i think, robin, its fundamentally about vision. Our vision is were stronger together as a country and the plans that we have on the economy, on our safety and security and on the kind of community we create all fit under that vision for the country. The trump ticket has a different vision, donald trump decided when he ran for president to write a book and he put out that book and its called crippled america. Thats how he sees the nation wer l different nation stronger together and thats what were going to talk about next tuesday. Were looking forward to that debate. Senator tim kaine, thank you very much for your time. All right. Thanks, robin. Take care. You bet. And george is with the man that tim kaine will be facing in the upcoming debate. Donald trumps running mate indiana governor mike pence. Thanks for coming in. You bet. You heard senator kaine said donald trump was on the ropes and out of gas, rattled telling whoppers. Your take on the debate. I think donald trump had a but what you saw donald trump do was go out on that National Stage against somebody thats been in politics for the last 30 years and demonstrate that kind of energy that kind of leadership thats created all the momentum in this campaign. I mean weve seen literally, you know, crowds across the country, the likes of which ive never seen in my lifetime and i think its because they see in donald trump the kind of leadership a to really turn this country around. He did make the case for change last night. How did that other the that senator kaine talked about, the birther issue, calling it a lie and mr. Trump was asked why he continued to raise questions about the president s birthplace until a couple of weeks ago yet didnt answer why did he keep raising the questions . I think, frankly, the media kept on raises it in this campaign, george. Donald trump has been focused he was the one that refused and abroad growing the economy and having tougher and smarter trade deals and, frankly, as it continued to come up i think he just decided that well just make it clear and state his position and he did that again last night but i think what was great and you even hear some of his harshest critics saying at the top of the debate he focused on this economy from the outset and on the fact that Hillary Clinton and herba was president signed in nafta a disastrous trade deal thats cost millions of jobs in this country and in donald trump youll have someone that will fight for the kind of jobs and opportunities and trade deals that will put America First and i got to tell you, you know, the pundits will have all their different views of this but i know that message resonated all across america and particularly in places like pennsylvania and ohio and michigan that have been so hard hit by these bad trade one of his top advisers Rudy Giuliani said he should get guarantees from the moderators before agreeing to another debate. Was lester holt fair and will he go through with the next two debates. I was disappointed that lester did not get into some of the issues that have been so much in the forefront of Hillary Clintons candidacy and an fbi investigation that Clinton Foundation pay to play, that took place in benghazi and libya. That never came up. We saw other issues, but, look, what impressed me the most about last night was that donald trump took command of the stage and i think the American People saw his Leadership Qualities and i think thats why youre going to continue to see momentum grow. Governor pence, im afraid were out of time. To ginger. Tuesday trivia brought to kevin mid60s and low 70s. The upperlevel system will remain a factor in our forecast later this week as we see that continue northward. We start in the 50s and climb to between 64 and 74. Maybe some drizzle tomorrow coming up new angles with the trumps to the clintons and the moments they crossed paths. Well break down the candidates body language with their faces and posture and what it was really saying talking to the experts about that. So much debate fallout right here on Good Morning America.
