Watch Replay: Presidential Town Hall Debate Between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton

Watch the full replay of the second presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

ST. LOUIS, MO — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, facing off during the second presidential debate Sunday night at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, stood at arm's length and did not shake hands before beginning their town hall discussion.

The town hall comes after a week of controversial news for both of the presidential nominees — a guarantee this town hall-style debate would be anything but boring.

Clinton came under scrutiny as WikiLeaks on Friday released its latest batch of documents related to her campaign that reveal, among other things, excerpts of private speeches to the financial sector that are believed to have earned her more than $25 million.

However, that same evening, Trump came under fire after a video from 2005 surfaced in which the New York businessman boasts of his attempts to have sex with married women and how being a "star" allows him to kiss, grope and have sex with women whenever he sees fit.

Thus far, the debate has proven to be anything but boring. Trump has interrupted Clinton several times, suggesting she should be in jail, a comment that elicited applause. Clinton turned the focus on Trump's comments about women, including the vulgarities he uttered as he sat on a bus before taping a TV show in 2005, and pointed out how prominent Republicans are abandoning his campaign.

Trump and Clinton could try to dodge some of the hard questions from debate moderators Martha Raddatz of ABC News and Anderson Cooper of CNN — it's even somewhat expected. At one point, Trump suggested both moderators were ganging up on him in league with Clinton — "three on one," he said.

However, with the town hall-style format where half of the questions will come from the audience and social media, sidestepping uncomfortable questions from private citizens rarely plays out well to the millions of viewers who likely have the same questions on their minds.
