Contrary to the to start with presidential discussion, which saw nominees Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton standing guiding lecterns, tonight’s city corridor experienced a West Wing-stroll-and-chat vibe, even if it from time to time seem a lot more like a brawl.
As Anderson Cooper of CNN and Martha Raddatz of ABC relayed issues from the undecided voters in the room, the nominees strolled the stage, answering issues and debating (arguing?) each others’ positions. (Trump’s pacing and next of Clinton, in unique, became a constant position of conversation on the web through the discussion.)
On the web reaction was in the same way free of charge-wheeling. Here’s how it all went down.
Before the debate started, Trump—hoping to deflect awareness from comments he built on tape to Entry Hollywood host Billy Bush in 2005, in which the GOP candidate said he could get girls “by the pussy”—hosted a Fb Reside video clip with girls who have accused Monthly bill Clinton of sexual misconduct.
