A defiant Donald Trump on Sunday attacked former President Bill Clinton for his treatment of women and vowed, if he won the White House, to put Hillary Clinton in jail for operating a private email server while U.S. secretary of state.

In a contentious town-hall debate, Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, said he would appoint a special prosecutor to look into his Democratic rival's email use because she had endangered national security during her tenure as President Barack Obama's chief diplomat from 2009-2013.

The 90-minute debate got off to a chilly start when the two candidates for the Nov. 8 election greeted each other without the traditional handshake. It quickly turned into an acrimonious discussion of a 2005 video that emerged on Friday in which Trump was heard using vulgar language and talking about groping women without consent.

Trump said he was embarrassed by the video but dismissed it as "locker room talk." President Bill Clinton had done worse to women, he said.

1. If Trump becomes President, there will be a lot of political prisoners

[icymist]

7. I watched Bob Schieffer call Rrump a disgrace.

Many times saying that the US is not a banana republic. Apparently, Rrump thinks differently.

[meow2u3]

13. We cound be some of them

Perish the thought!

[mobeau69]

2. Dana Bash talked about this.

She said "stunned". I was also. That scared the shit out of me. This is The United States of America. We don't have political prisoners here. I'm stunned.

[DK504]

5. Disturbed

If Trump wins I'm moving back to California. Then we will secede and US will lose 8th largest economy in the world.

[Trust Buster]

3. Even Nixon didn't announce to 80 million people that he would use the power of his office

to attack and jail his political opponents.

[Buzz Clik]

4. Trump went third world -- threatening to jail his political rival.

[elmac]

8. Oh, that is so true nt

[elmac]

6. If Trump becomes president

there will be a lot of US citizens arrested for illegally crossing into Canada.

[Cresent City Kid]

16. And they'll make us pay for the wall

[world wide wally]

9. One thing Trump is guilty as hell of is "projecting". Accusing others about your own shortcomings

Tonight, Trump called Hillary the devil, said her heart is filled with hate, and said she deserves to be in jail.
I rest my case.

[Nitram]

10. Trump has no problem making promises he can't fulfill.

[icymist]

12. Did Rrump even answer one question coherently?

Other than the say something nice about your opponent, the one he wants to jail?

[SunSeeker]

19. Just the last one about Hillary's good quality ("fights hard, doesn't quit").

Otherwise, he "answered" every question the same way, namely regurgitating a list of slanders against Clinton he spent the weekend memorizing.

[David__77]

11. I think that saying these things is probably an effective political tactic.

I do not think that Trump will win the presidency. I do think that if he were to apologetic or defensive in any way, he would do much worse. I think that he will do no worse than Romney did.

[Stonepounder]

14. The first time we imprison a political opponent,

then we can no longer call ourselves 'the land of the free'. It will be the end of our country as we know it.

[Bette]

21. True, true..

There are so many ways trump would destroy this country, it's a long list. And, he has already done some damage. This isn't the country I grew up in, I believed in, I trusted, not anymore. Since the repukes took over, they have torn us apart. Trump's just a louder mouthpiece than most and so blatant about it. Why else do you think they want to replace him? He's telling their secrets.

[TomCADem]

15. I Think That Was One of The Scarier Things A Candidate Has Said Ever

I mean once you go down that route, we are in Putin territory, which doubly scary since Trump so clearly admires Putin.

[Thekaspervote]

17. Did anyone but me notice

The expressions on the faces on trumps family as the camera panned in on them in response to Hillary saying she admired his children? I felt sorry for them as they sat there listening to this lunatic they call husband and father. Frozen forced smiles, glassy eyed, rigid bodies. They know all to well what he is capable of, none of them wanting to be the brunt of his rage. Telling

[truthisfreedom]

18. Tin horn despot!

Putin loving banana republic dictator.

[lark]

23. Perfect succinct description, except add young women assaulter.

Think Hillary should have mentioned he has been sued twice for rape, so not JUST locker room talk and in the pending case, thr girl was 13!!!!!.

[C Moon]

20. Nevermind. I misread the headline as if he loses.

deleted.

[lark]

22. No wonder Putin likes drumpf,

they are the same vile dictatator. Putin jails his enemies and drumpf wants to do that too, Inconvenient judges with lifetime appointments, no problem, he'll fire them anyway. Illegal war acts, such as torture and killing enemies families, he's all in. People, if this national pulls a brexit, the US will be intolerable. He has repeatedly vowed to do things that violate the constitution,
and I think we can b sure that would happen if Russia steals the election for him..
