Clinton snark: Preparing to be president 'a good thing'

Hillary Clinton drew applause Monday night for taking a shot at Donald Trump over having prepared for the first presidential debate – and similarly preparing “to be president.”

Trump talked about his visits to “the inner cities” during a debate segment about race and policing but couldn’t resist also taking a shot at Clinton, who spent multiple days preparing for the debate in recent weeks.


“I just left Detroit, I just left Philadelphia. You've seen me, I've been all over the place. You decided to stay home and that's okay. I will tell you, I've been all over,” Trump said.

“I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And yes, I did. And you know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that's a good thing,” Clinton said in reply.
