His campaign on the ropes, Donald Trump came out in the second
presidential debate throwing verbal haymakers at Hillary Clinton.
The Sunday night showdown in St. Louis had been billed as the
Republican nominee's last, best chance to stop the bleeding and put Clinton
back on her heels. And from the open, he blitzed Clinton with a series of
barbed attacks and a jarring threat.
Here were Trump's most pointed attacks -- and Clinton's
rejoinders.
"It's
just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in
charge of the law in our country," Clinton said.
"You'd
be in jail," Trump responded.
Trump on his
lewd comments about women:
"This
was locker room talk. I'm not proud of it. I apologized to my family and I
apologized to the American people. Certainly I'm not proud of it. But this is
locker room talk. You know when you have a world where we have ISIS chopping
off heads ... where you have so many bad things happening, this is like
medieval times," Trump said.
Trump accuses
Hillary Clinton of enabling Bill Clinton:
"There's
never been anybody in the history of politics in this nation that's been so
abusive to women. So you can say any way you want to say it, but Bill Clinton
was abusive to women. Hillary Clinton attacked those same women and attacked
them viciously," Trump said.
