several things from e-mails to tax returns, abc's stephanie ramos is at hofstra university on long island, new york, where it all went down. stephanie, good morning. >> reporter: kendis and diane, good morning. this may have been the highest rated reality show ever. hillary clinton and donald trump disagreeing over race, jobs, terrorism and temperament. the candidates, hillary clinton and donald trump, walking out on the debate stage shaking hands and taking a fighting stance. face-off turning contentious and personal quick. >> i have a feeling that by the end of this evening i'll be blamed for everything that's ever happened. >> why not. >> yeah, why not. >> reporter: it was a spirited debate full of interruptions. >> donald, i know you live in your own reality but that is not the facts. >> but you have no plan. >> oh, i do. >> reporter: slamming on issues like climate change, trade, to stop and frisk. >> the argument it's a form of

have to take the gun as way from these people that have them and that are bad people that shouldn't have them. >> reporter: top and frisk was found to be unconstitutional and in part because it was ineffective. >> reporter: trump continuing to blast clinton on her stamina and strength but clinton shutting down that line of attack. >> well, as soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a cease-fire, a releas opening of new opportunities and nations around the world, or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee, he can talk to me about stamina. >> reporter: this marked the first time both clinton and trump shared the same stage side by side as they try to prove voters they're the best person to lead the country. >> you decided to stay home and that's okay. >> i think donald just criticized me for preparing for

and you know what else i prepared for, i prepared to be president. and i think that's a good thing. [ applause ] >> reporter: one debate down, and two more to go. the second presidential debate between hillary clinton and donald trump is set for october 9th in st. louis, missouri. kendis, diane. >> stephanie, what was the campaign saying after the debate in the spin room? >> reporter: so right after the debate some campaign aides for the clinton camp came into the holding back on how they thought the debate went last night saying that donald trump was unhinged, they called him unhinged during the debate and they also said that he was easily provoked as well as totally unprepared. senior campaign officials felt trump was quickly rattled even more than they expected him to be. >> and normally you have those campaign aides who are there in the spin room not normally that you have a presidential

talked about what he said he didn't address on stage right there in the spin room. what's that all about? >> reporter: yeah, kendis, you said it. this is something we haven't seen before, but it's been an unconventional convention. donald trump walking into the spin room last night and telling abc news he didn't bring up bill clinton's infidelities because he says chelsea clinton was in the debate hall last night. but here's what trump had to say last night in the spin room right after the debate. here it is. i mean, i got everything i wanted to say, i got it out other than the transgressions of bill because, you know, she takes all these commercials spending literally hundreds of millions of dollars on commercials and they're lies. they're lies. but i thought -- and i didn't want to do it with chelsea who i think is a wonderful young lady. i didn't want to say what i was going to say with chelsea in the room so maybe -- >> reporter: unclear if a sign that trump about how trump felt

supposed to go to last night, he opted out of. back over to you, guys. >> oh, well, that's pretty controversial and hillary clinton did go to a rally right afterwards. stephanie ramos in hampstead, new york. stephanie, thank you. early polls do indicate most believe hillary clinton won that debate. >> but reaction was mixed across the country with many people sticking with the same candidate that they supported ahead of the debate. >> it's obvious that hillary won that debate. i think that trump was a liar and a person that divide this country. >> unfortunately, i thought she was very robotic. donald was very appealing. a man of action, real, definitely came across as a change agent. >> flat out she won. i mean, unbelievable. trump had everything to say wrong. he was so nervous, he was scripted. he wasn't as talented as he said he was. he got the facts wrong and he was in denial of everything.

who watched the debate but those people already had the candidates they wanted going into it so as you saw there in stephanie's piece from the beginning trump and clinton dropped the pleasantries and came out swinging. >> just how did each candidate fare according to the analysts? more more let's turn to political director rick klein. rick. >> diane and kendis, a tale of two donald trumps. in the first half of the debris he was able to parry the attacks from hillary clinton and turn them back on her make it about status quo turning all of her attacks into an attack on the political establishment. that was the good side from donald trump's perspective. the bad side coming out later in the debate when she's -- he ends up feuding with her over her fitness for the office, her look for the office. and just generally speaking you saw a candidate for whom is able to get under the skin. i think hillary clinton is able to walk away from this debate saying i know where the weak spots are and mow how to prosecute the case. donald trump on shaky ground

movement or when he talked about what he said in the past about the iraq war, a false claim that he always opposed the iraq war. those are things that get played over and over again. i think two candidates showing they know how to prosecute the case, no one, though, closing the deal. diane and kendis. >> all right, our thanks to rick klein there. well, hillary clinton is calling the debate an amazing experience. >> shortly after getting off the stage she stopped by a nearby debate watch party with her husband. greeting more than 500 supporters with her hands in the air. >> now, clinton is campaigning in raleigh, north ca today and this evening donald trump holes a rally in melbourne, florida. >> touting his own performance on social media as well. there was another presidential candidate not at the debate. that was green party dr. jill stein escorted actually off hofstra's campus for not having the right security credentials. stein then took to twitter to get her message out. >> stephanie mentioned earlier clinton and trump's second debate is on sunday, october 9th. the vice presidential debate is october 4th. stay tuned for "good morning

...what we're building together... ...and could this happen again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? i spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... ...turned around my thinking. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines.

eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. the things that i consume on a daily basis, a lot of it is very acidic. the enamel on my teeth was actually weakening. the whiteness wasn't there as much. my teeth didn't look as healthy as others. my dentist said that pronamel would help fight against that erosion that foods and drinks were causing. so it was really important to start using the pronamel. you have to worry about. pronamel is now giving me the confidence to know that i'm doing the right thing. so it's nice to know that it's as simple as that. ? ugh. heartburn. sorry ma'am. no burning here. try new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. they don't taste chalky and work fast. mmmm. incredible. can i try? she doesn't have heartburn. new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies.
