Trump defiant over assault boasts, targets Bill Clinton

St. Louis, Oct 10, 2016  AFP – Donald Trump dismissed his predatory remarks about groping women as "locker room talk," and took a swipe at Hillary Clinton's husband Bill over past sexual misconduct in a fiery second US presidential debate on Sunday.

The Democrat Hillary Clinton, facing a deeply wounded candidate with one month to go before Election Day, pushed back by saying Trump's lewd comments, caught on a hot mic, merely showed his true self.

With tens of millions of Americans tuning in for the televised showdown, the Republican nominee may have been expected to show contrition as he seeks to move beyond the crisis triggered by the tape's release.

Instead Trump levelled a blunt attack at former president Clinton – present in the audience – asserting that he has a history of abusing women, and inviting several of his accusers to attend the debate.

"If you look at Bill Clinton, far worse," Trump insisted. "Mine are words, his was action," he said, claiming that there has "never been anybody in the history of politics in this nation that's been so abusive to women."

Clinton refused to take the bait, saying she took the advice that "when they go low, you go high."

In the tense opening minutes of the showdown, Trump also clashed with Clinton on her private use of emails while secretary of state, warning that if he becomes president he will order the Justice Department to launch a special investigation into the issue.

When Clinton responded that it was "awfully good" that someone with Trump's temperament was not leading the nation, he shot back: "Because you'd be in jail."

Trump is facing a make-or-break moment after his lewd boasts, which he made in 2005 and which became public Friday, brought sweeping condemnation from within his own party and calls for him to step aside.

Pressed by the debate moderator who asserted that he had bragged of sexually assaulting women, the billionaire Republican lashed out:

"Certainly I'm not proud of it. But this is locker room talk."

Trump's Democratic rival fired back that he has spent much of his presidential campaign denigrating women and minorities.

"Republicans are leaving you," Clinton told him on the debate stage, saying his campaign was "exploding."
