  1. Clinton won, say traderspublished at 04:36 British Summer Time 27 September 2016

    The immediate reaction from financial markets suggests the money-movers think Clinton won. A Citigroup report on the eve of the debate said traders were preparing for volatility on the bullion and forex markets in the event of Trump's election. Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets in London, said: "A good performance from Mr Trump [tonight] could see market volatility increase, particularly if investors think there is a possibility that he could actually win [the White House]."

  2. Now to the spin room...published at 04:29 British Summer Time 27 September 2016

    If you’re just joining us, Trump and Clinton repeatedly clashed over the economy, her emails, his tax returns and their temperament in a feisty 90-minute debate. The clock may be up, but the fun is far from over. The campaign surrogates - and, in fact, Trump himself - are now in the spin room vigorously trying to shape the media narrative for tomorrow’s headlines in favour of their candidate.

  10. The 'stamina' attackpublished at 03:48 British Summer Time 27 September 2016

    Kelly Dittmar, a scholar with the Center for American Women and Politics, accurately predicted Trump might bring up the issue of Hillary Clinton's "stamina and strength". Dittmar describes this type of attack as a coded way of highlighting gender. "There's a perception of feminine vulnerability and weakness that he cues," says Dittmar. "He's the strongest, toughest, most manliest candidate and she is the opposite."

  15. Does Clinton have stamina?published at 03:39 British Summer Time 27 September 2016

    Holt asks Trump to explain his recent comment that Clinton not having a "presidential look". 

    He responds that "she doesn't have the look she doesn't have the stamina".

    When Holt tries to correct him that he said "look," Trump interrupts him: "Did you ask me a question?" 

    Trump says she wouldn't be able to negotiate trade deals and again repeats that she does not have the stamina. 

    Clinton responds: "As soon as he travels to 112 countries, negotiates a peace deal, a ceasefire ... or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee, he can talk to me about stamina". 

    Trump adds: "Hillary has experience, but it's bad experience."

    Clinton: “This is a man who has called women pigs, dogs and slobs, who has said pregnancy is an inconvenience to employers ... one of the worst things he said was to a woman in a beauty contest … he called this woman Miss Piggy."

    Trump: "Never said that. .. I was going to say something extremely rough to Hillary, to her family, and I thought, 'I just can’t do it' … I don’t deserve that [of Clinton’s attack ads] it’s certainly not a nice thing that she’s done."
