AI Thread Summary
The first presidential debate of 2016 featured Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, moderated by Lester Holt at Hofstra University. The debate was structured into six segments, allowing each candidate two minutes to respond to questions, followed by opportunities for rebuttal. Many viewers expressed that the debate felt more like entertainment than a serious political discussion, with Trump often interrupting Clinton and making controversial statements. While some believed Clinton maintained a more rational demeanor, others criticized her for lacking a strong message and focusing too much on contrasting herself with Trump. Overall, the sentiment was that the debate highlighted significant issues within American politics, leaving many feeling disillusioned.

I was just posting because someone else posted trump won, amazing they both won. :biggrin:

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread down and go back to the POTUS thread so that we don't have threads everywhere. We can open a thread for the next debate.
