i mean, i got everything i wanted to say, i got it out, other than the transgressions of bill because she takes all commercials spending literally hundreds of millions of dollars on commercials, and they are lies. they are lies. i didn't want to do it with chelsea who i think is a very wonderful young lady. i didn't want to say what i was going to say with her in the room. >> trump hinted he might bring up the subject, though, during the next debate. >> of course, his daughter and chelsea are reportedly really good played a factor into it. both sides really claiming victory. >> trump complained his mic was defective and wondered if it was on purpose, and clinton camp looks to depict trump as thin-skinned. here's more from the spin room, liz? >> reporter: good morning. from the get-go last night, it seemed hillary clinton's strategy was to rattle the strategy and get under his skin. naturally, her campaign said it

expected. two senior campaign officials went as far to explain trump as unhinged, pointing to moments throughout the debate where clinton jabbed trump about his wealth, his business dealings, things they hoped would set him off. >> you know, donald was very fortunate if his life, and that's all to his benefit. 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 be and everything works out from i don't buy that. >> reporter: abc asked donald trump about that moment in the spin room following the debate. >> mr. trump, she say taattacke loan received from your father and about women. do you feel that was fair or cheap shots? >> i felt it very cheap. first of all, my father gave me a small amount of money relative to what i built, but i learned so much from my father, tremendous father, fred, who was

one, and number two, even that was not a big number compared to what i did, but it was fair other than the number being wrong. >> reporter: trump announcing victory, and now they embark on the battle ground states this week with hillary clinton in north carolina today, and donald trump in florida. diane, kendis? >> all right. liz from the spin room, we also have the new york post out with their headline for this morning. their verdict, >> i'm disappointed by it. >> it's lacking in a little bit of what we normally expect from papers like the post and daily news. they usually have better headlines. >> saying hillary's look says it all, face of the nation. even the usa today, tempered down, did good, i'd say. fight night, that describes it. good job, editors there. we'll see. >> the post saying their

a slug fest saying hillary landed more blows than trump, but he just had to survive. >> oh. >> not enough blows to knock don out. >> i see where they were going with that. still, they've done better. >> as marcy mentioned, washington university is the venue for the next one in st. louis, sunday, october 9th, moderated by anderson cooper. a closer look and clinton did last night, we're going to have analysis from our own political experts on the presidential debate and which of the two might have carried the night. random gunfire that broke out in a mall in houston, texas that wounded nine people. what we are finding out about the suspect. first, here's a look at today's temperatures.

he was overrunning the moderator, and if you wonder what president will he be with the u.n., yao saw that, and that may not be comforting. >> was there defining moments in your view? >> i think a good moment for donald trump was going on the attack saying hillary clinton has lots of experience, but it's bad experience. by saying hillary clinton has bad experience, he's trying to say, look, i may be risky, you may not love my temperament, but she's not bringing change you need, >> is there a moment for you? >> oh, definitely. every single moment that was connected to race. whether it was hillary clinton and the way she prodded him or donald trump in the way he answered, i think as the night went on, you got more and more disturbed how he happndled the issue of race. stop and frisk, we know the results. it was not an effective policy. it's a racist policy. >> he supported stop and frisk,

actually, it was found to be unconstitutional, he said that was wrong, but he's wrong. >> absolutely. >> do you think tonight's debate moved the needle? >> e don't think that it necessarily did. i think there's going to be some trump voters who are republicans, but have been worried about whether he's presidential. i'm not sure he was compelling enough on the, can you pass the commander in chief test tonight, so he may see some of those moderate republicans drift over to clinton, but overall, i don't think this changes the polls much. >> it the national needle, which was not moved, but parse that, in colorado, people supported johnson and stein now go, all right, i can deal with hillary. she was more presidential. if you're on the fence with third party candidates, she's looking better. state by state, needles may move. >> greening it out for weeks now, two more debates and a vice presidential debate. more combat on air and on the

>> thank you. and we, of course, have to wait for the official polls of likely voters to find out what everyone actually thought about the debate last night, whether it did move the needle, though, we heard a lot of analysts come out this morning saying hillary clinton won. we got a tweet from the trump campaign who they think -- >> who do they think? >> they have a variety of on line polls, publications finding in on online post-debate polls they go for trump. >> entire process and all the debates he's taken part in, the online polls are favorable to him, even when the analysts are, like, well, he didn't do that well. what we know for sure, it was the most tweeted debate ever. 79% of the conversation on facebook last night was about the debates 62% on twitter. the most debated moment? >> trump addressed his temperament, right? >> his temperament. that's what people tweeted most

time. just one button, that's it. >> ratings expected to rank up with the finale of cheers with the finale of m.a.s.h. forreal. it makes sense. this election feels like the series finale of america. >> of course, it did not take long for one of two candidates to tell a lie. >> donald, it's good to be with you.

[ laughter ] it'll be great. >> there was actually 1,000 people in the audience tonight, and they were instructed not to applaud or cheer in the debate. and people watching were, like, what about sobbing? can we quietly sob? >> in the end, there was really on one word summing up this whole debate and this whole election feels, and donald trump captured it. >> wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

>> that was on short notice too. >> absolutely. >> a lot on the fly.

temperament, i have a winning temperament. >> wow, okay! [ laughter ] >> well, candidates sparred over nuclear weapons, isis, and policing. >> abc's marcy gonzalez has highlights with the debate hall in new york. nar si, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. even this early in the morning, there's some action here in the spin room. earlier, donald trump broke tradition. he came through here talking to reporters about that fierce >> democratic nominee for president of the united states, hillary clinton, and republican nominee for president of the united states, donald j. trump. >> reporter: facing off for the first time. >> i will release my tax returns against my lawyer's wishes when she releases her 33,000 e-mails that have been deleted. >> i made a mistake using a private e-mail. >> that's for sure. >> and if i had to do it over

differently. >> reporter: hillary clinton and donald trump each on the attack dishing personal punches. >> donlald, i know you live in your own reality, but that is not the fact. >> but you have no plans. >> oh, i do. >> reporter: and hitting each other on the issues from taxes -- >> my tax cut is the biggest since ronald reagan. >> your plans would add $5 trillion to the debt. >> reporter: to stop and frisk. >> the argument is that it's a form of racial >> we have to take away guns that have them away from bad people that have them. >> stop and frisk was found to be unconstitutional, and in part, because it was ineffective. >> reporter: with one and five voters saying they could change their mind, but candidates trying hard to turn this tight race. >> i think donald trump criticized me for preparing for this debate, and, yes, i did. you know what else i prepared for? i prepared to be president. >> i agree.

it's bad experience. this country can't affords to have another four years of that kind of experience. >> reporter: and trump and clinton will meet for two more debates, next is the town hall in st. louis on october 9th. kendis and diane? >> what are the candidates saying now that the debate's over? >> reporter: they are both claiming victory. clinton went to a debate watch party after the debate de said she felt good about the experience saying it was a great debate, and an amazing experience. after the debate, trump was asked whether he wished he would have prepared more, but he said no because i think we won, and he said he's very happy with the way things turned out. >> trump, ncin fact, was in the spin room where marcy is. did he happen to explain why he didn't bring up a key figure

debate hall, bill clinton? >> reporter: right. you know, after all of that talk about the possibility of gennifer flowers in the audience, there was speculation he was going to go after the former president with some of his past transgressions, but abc news asked trump about that here in the spin room, and he said he decided against those topics in the debate because clinton's daughter, chelsea, was there in the audience, but he's not ruled out things in later debates. kendis, diane? >> could get interesting. marcy gonzalez live for us, thank you. >> as we saw, it didn't take long for trump and clinton to come out swinging. >> how did each candidate fair? for more, let's go to rick cline, rick? >> reporter: in the first half

attacks back on her, broader argument, about the status quo, making attacks on the political establishment. that was the good side of donald trump, the bad side later in the debate with a dispute with her, working for the office, and just generally speaking, you saw a candidate getting under the skin. i think hillary clinton was able to walk away from the debate saying i know where the weak spots are. donald trump, particularly shaky ground talking about movement, talking about the past with the iraq war, a false claim, said he always opposed the iraq war. those are things that are played over and over again. two canadidates knowing how to prosecute the case, but nobody closing the deal. >> thanks to rick there. last night's faceoff set a new record. the most tweeted debate ever. >> third most tweeted moment was plans for defeating isis, and

on stop and frisk, and most tweeted moment of the night? when trump said he has good temperament. >> i should have taken temperament in the drinking game. one forced to leave campus before the debate got underway. stein did not have proper credentials to be there and took to twitter to get the message out. gary johnson failed to be part of the debate. >> johnson watched the manhattan's headquarters on site all night making the case to be on case at the next debate writing neither the rhetoric of donald trump or hillary clinton can be the commander of chief i want. >> the miami marlins return to the field days after losing a pitcher. >> how the team honored jose fernandez, and the first batter of the night broke down in tears

last night's first debate between donald trump and hillary clinton covered a lot of ground from jobs to terrorism plus her e-mails, his tax returns. >> there was a lot of things covered, and in this close race, were any minds changed? abc's political director joins us right now. just back from long island. okay, so good morning. it was a relativel the debate hall, a thousand people there, and you are watching it right next door, what exchange got the most reaction? >> one of the moments the moderator had to turn to the audience to quiet them down, and donald trump said he would release his tax returns if hillary clinton released her 30,000 personal e-mails. his supporters in the crowd seemed to really like it. they got, you know, really loud, but this moment i think will

you could see, and clinton, seemed to forget the reason that he's been talking all along about why he's not releasing tax returns is because of that audit. he momentarily forgot that. >> lester holt saying so it's negotiateble? >> he said, no, but talk about the e-mails. he said against my attorney's advice, but i'll do it. a lot of back and forth over the e-mails. >> oh, there you go, he's turning around there to tell the audience to calm down a little bit. >> there were a few moments with the audience seemed to react, and not just at thaton what was it like to be in the hall? was it taboo or were we letting it slide? >> no, i mean, i think that every moderator knows that an audience is going to make noise, right? even though in the beginning, they say that they're not supposed to clap, you're not supposed to chapter for the person you support, but the moderator knows. that was the moment that was the loudest, but it was just one of a few. >> what were the individuals'

they step it up? >> hillary clinton came to fight, and you saw that. she had to. she prepared for both donald trumps. restrained donald trump that we see more recently on the campaign trail, and then that unpredictable one we saw for almost a year. she wanted to make sure she could debate that unpredictable trump out. e she got that on the issue of birther, treatment of women, and she got tonight. >> what audience were they both trying to appeal to? we have a sense of who secretary clinton appealed to, and trump, who was he trying to appeal to? >> well, i think trump and clinton, too, trying to appeal to undecided voters, but they are not that many of them, so both trump and clinton were trying to play directly into their base. make sure they're excited. make sure they are enthusiastic

hillary clinton has had a problem with that, and said she knows that her voters are less enthusiastic than his. she needs that bamaobama coalit to show up. >> she tried to bring out the unp unpredictable trump, but he did too. how did that play out last night? >> he did well when he tried to portray himself as a new choice for the coun over again that hillary clinton has been around for 30 years. i thought he did well in that he was skeuccessful, but that strategy went away by the end of the debate. >> he said in 30 years, what jobs have you created and hammered that. >> and kept going back to that on trade, economy, and jobs. you saw it in the second half of the debate when she gained

either one moved the needle last night? >> it's an important question. i think they both have a ways to go. i think you really need that big moment for them to move the needle. what kind of moment? donald trump needs a big apology. we did not see that tonight. hillary clinton needs to appear presidential and make trump seem up acceptable to voters. she's sort of that tonight, but still two more debates that's going to be the goal. >> all right. our political director, we'll see you from st. >> thank you. coming up in the next half hour, fact checking candidates after a night of claims, counterclaims, and outright accusations. we'll sort out fact from fiction. >> first, authorities trying to figure out what happened in the mystery at sea. a young man rescued after eight days on the open water, but his mother is still missing. what we're learning now about the investigation. you're watching "world news

>> there's something he's hiding, and we'll guess, we'll keep guessing at what it might be he's hiding. >> reporter: trump goaded her about her e-mails. >> i will release my tax returns against my lawyer's wishes when she releases her 33,000 e-mails that have been deleted. >> i made a mistake using a private e-mail. >> that's for sure. >> reporter: the subject of immigration never came up, and some of the other issues barely got now the spin campaigns working the floor, hoping to dominate tomorrow's headlines, and something you normally don't see in the spin room? donald trump spinning himself. >> mr. trump, how do you think you did tonight? >> i thought it was good. i mean, i got everything i wanted to say, i got it out, other than the transgressions of bill, but i thought -- and i didn't want to do it with chelsea, when 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 they are well off to bring chelsea. >> reporter: more people watched this debate than any other

are the reviews tomorrow. i'm david wright. >> clinton called trump's jobs plan a trumped up version of triple down economics, and he slammed her record on trade. >> yeah. the audience said it was supposed to be quiet and stay quiet, but they couldn't resist reacting to some of the candidates' more snapping zingers. we're in the spin room and have more. marcy, good morning. it down here, hillary clinton said trump supported the war in iraq. >> reporter: right. this was a pretty lengthy exchange. trump insisted that he'd always oppose the war in iraq, but moderator, lester holt, pressed him on that saying the record didn't show that. there was a radio show with stern who asked trump if he supported the war, and that's when trump said, yeah, i guess so. so in the debate, trump said that was the first time he was

he answered lightly, but insisted every interview after that, he adamantly opposed the war. >> marcy, another big issue here is race, a discussion on black community, tensions with recent shootings, how did the candidates do on that issue? >> reporter: yeah. the issue definitely including some of the recent shootings that they didn't get into those specifics, but clinton said race is a significant challenge in this country. she said that we have to restore trust between the community and police, and then trump in his rebuttal said he was using words that he claims clinton won't use, and those words are law and order, of course, that's been a major theme of the trump campaign. >> that, indeed.

rebuttal of him. marcy gonzalez in long island for us. thank you. >> marcy, thank you. you know, it's interesting to watch these debates and how they progress because we talk so much about their preparation going into this. well, now they've both had this experience. >> yep. >> oftentimes we see candidates change demeanor and strategies as the debate process goes on. interesting to see how that works. trump takes a few days off the campaign trail ahead of the october 9th st. louis debate to prepare more. that's one of the things that a lot of folks thought that he needed to prepare a little bit more going into last night's debate. of course, hillary clinton was, i think she might have had one day on the campaign trail in the last week. trump took off friday to do some debate prep, so we'll see if that strategy at least changes. >> uh-huh. there were some, though, saying maybe that was just in order to temp her expectations. they like to say he's not

>> yes. and maybe some are saying that's exactly what happened. all right. stay with abc news for the latest on the debate, checking in on what both candidates have to stay on a number of issues. that's coming up. straight ahead in the skinny, overnight reactions on the debate coming in from celebrities. >> and a city deserted, thousands of people forced to evacuate as the surrounding rivers are hours away from cresting. new video just in. plus, the mom vaccinating her children and changed her mind. she explains why. first, a look at today's forecast.

clinton. >> and not everything said last night was entirely accurate. here's abc with a fact check. >> reporter: these are two d candidates accused of stretching the truth in the past. perhaps the most intense exchange of the evening? who started the birther campaign, and president obama not being born in the u.s. trump said it was not him. he simply cleared it up. >> i got him to produce the birth cert i think i did a good job. secretary clinton also fought it. >> reporter: the checkers found that statement by trump is false. the two clashed over trump's wealth. he said his father gave him a loan for a million dollars to start his business. clinton said it was $14 million. >> you know, donald was very fortunate in his life, and that's all to his benefit. he started his business with $14 million, borrowed from his father. >> reporter: our abc news fact

100 million people are watching these debates. if you're interested enough to watch, i hope you're interested enough to vote. we need you. >> that's a good message from ellen. you're right, the celebrities i saw were clearly partisan in their tweets throughout the night. >> that's right. if liz phair's quote of evidence of the way the debates went down, it's not sure people who tuned in will vote. >> yeah, true. next, just in time for last night's debate, a nostalgic throwback to the '90s with a today's tw >> the cast of "will and grace" reunited for a mod earn ten minute episode on this year's presidential election. >> "will and grace" and their now dated apartment joined by jack and karen who have surprising opinions of their own. >> you know, hillary has done everything, jack. she's been a two-time first lady.
