"The presidency doesn't change who you are".
At a NY fundraiser on Friday, the former Secretary of State cautioned her supporters not to take a victory for granted, with recent polls showing the presidential race tightening.
She referred to several comments Trump made during and after Monday's debate, including his apparent acknowledgment that he's paid no taxes some years.
Mr Trump said that makes him "smart".
"You know, for someone who wants to be president of the United States, and you're not thinking about the hardship of foreclosures and people losing their homes and being out on the streets, that your only focus is, how can I make a buck off it?" "We need someone who is steady and measured, because when making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions, a president can't just pop off or lash out irrationally".

Peres was never naive about that quest, but he understood that security comes from peace with your neighbors, the president said . Israel is now considered the Middle East's sole nuclear power, but it has never declared it, maintaining a policy of ambiguity.
"There are those who questioned and continue to question for the past eight years whether my husband was even born in this country", Obama said to boos.
She cast Hillary Clinton as a tough, compassionate fighter who does not back down and who loves her country. He said O'Donnell deserved the barbs he hurled which included calling her fat, a pig and a slob.
She urged millennial voters in Pennsylvania to register ahead of the October 11 deadline and to commit to vote for Clinton in November, saying the stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines or give a protest vote.
The Trump pushback has included arguing that Machado was overweight and hard, alleging that she was the getaway driver in an attempted murder, that she was allegedly filmed having sex with a costar on the reality TV show La Granja (like MTV's The Real World), and posed topless in Mexican Playboy - you can see all iterations of that in supporter Scottie Nell Hughes's appearance on CNN. "If you vote for a third-party candidate, that's a vote for Trump". "There's no such thing".
The former Obama aide also said that it would be a big mistake for Donald Trump to bring up Bill Clinton's marital infidelities during the second debate.
