Hillary assails Trump in first TV debate

Republican Donald Trump vowed on Tuesday to hit rival Democrat Hillary Clinton harder in the next US presidential debate after she put him on the defensive by accusing him of being racist, sexist and a tax dodger during their first matchup.

Trump, a real estate mogul making his first run for public office, praised himself for not attacking Hillary about the marital infidelity of her husband, former president Bill Clinton, but said in a Tuesday morning interview with Fox News that he may take up the attack line going forward.
