On Oct. 19, the two presidential nominees, Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump, faced off in Las Vegas, Nevada for the final time. FOX News moderator Chris Wallace asked the candidates questions for 90 minutes regarding the nation’s top concerns: the supreme court nomination, the economy and immigration. The general election will take place on Nov. 8 and the winner will succeed President Barack Obama on Jan. 20. Below are some of the standout quotes from last night’s showdown taken from National Public Radio’s transcript of the debate.

“For me, that means that we need a Supreme Court that will stand up on behalf of of women’s rights, on behalf of the rights of the LGBT community, that will stand up and say no to Citizens United, a decision that has undermined the election system in our country because of the way it permits dark, unaccountable money to come into our electoral system.” -Hillary Clinton 

“I feel that the justices that I am going to appoint– and I’ve named 20 of them. The justices that I’m going to appoint will be pro-life. They will have a conservative bent. They will be protecting the Second Amendment. They are great scholars in all cases, and they are people of tremendous respect. They will interpret the Constitution the way the founders wanted it interpreted. And I believe that’s very, very important. I don’t think we should have justices appointed that decide what they want to hear It’s all about the Constitution of — and so important — the Constitution, the way it was meant to be. And those are the people that I will appoint.” -Donald Trump 

“They [undocumented immigrants] work hard, they do everything they can to get give her a good life. And you’re right. I don’t want to rip families apart. I don’t want to be sending parents away from children. I don’t want to see the deportation force that Donald has talked about in action in our country. We have eleven million undocumented people. They have four million American citizen children. Fifteen million people. He said as recently as a few weeks ago in Phoenix that every undocumented person will be subject to deportation.”     -Hillary Clinton

“The NAFTA deal signed by her husband is one of the worst deals ever made of any kind of signed by anybody.” -Donald Trump 

“He’s undocumented labor to build the Trump Tower. He underpaid undocumented workers and when they complained, he basically said what a lot of employers do – you complain I’ll get you deported.” -Hillary Clinton 

All I said was we have to renegotiate these agreements because our country cannot afford to defend Saudi Arabia, Japan, Germany, South Korea and many other places. We cannot continue to afford.” -Donald Trump 

“I think when the middle class thrives, North America thrives and so my plan is based on growing the economy, giving middle-class families many more opportunities. I want us to have the biggest jobs program since World War II, jobs in infrastructure and advanced manufacturing. I think we can compete with high wage countries and I believe we should.” -Hillary Clinton

“Last week, as you know, the end of last week, they came out with an anemic jobs report, a terrible jobs report. In fact I said, is that the last jobs report before the election because if it is, I should win easily — it was so bad. The report was so bad.” -Donald Trump

“In fact, the Trump Hotel right here in Las Vegas was made with Chinese steel. So he goes around with crocodile tears about how terrible it is, but he has given jobs to Chinese steelworkers, not American Steelworkers.” -Hillary Clinton

“We have a great general – four-star general – today you read it in all the papers, going to potentially serve five years in jail for lying to the FBI one lie. She’s lied hundreds of times to the people, to Congress, and to the FBI. He’s going to probably go to jail. This is a four-star general and she gets away with it and she can run for the presidency of the United States.” -Donald Trump

“Well, everything I did as Secretary of State was in furtherance of our country’s interests and our values.” -Hillary Clinton

“I will look at it at the time. I’m not looking anything now I will look at it at the time. What I’ve seen, what I’ve seen it so bad. First of all the media is so dishonest and so corrupt and the pile on is so amazing that the New York Times actually wrote an article about it that they don’t even care. It’s so dishonest and they poison the minds of the voters but unfortunately for them I think the voters are seeing through it.” -Donald Trump

He is talking down our democracy. And I for one am appalled that someone the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of position.” -Hillary Clinton

“Iran is taking over Iraq.” -Donald Trump

But if you look at the debt, which is the issue you asked about, Chris, I pay for everything I’m proposing. I do not add a penny to the national debt.” -Hillary Clinton 

” And one thing we have to do, repeal and replace the disaster known as Obamacare.” -Donald Trump
