In American politics today winners are partisan rather than substantive. Lester Holt, a republican, will be criticized of course, it is always media's fault in the minds of some. The open debate format was interesting as it showed each candidate more clearly than the primaries did. Donald is our slogan candidate, his ideas can be printed on a cap, Hillary is the nerdy lawyer who has prepared her case. if I had to pick a winner it would clearly be Hillary, but then again I listen and hear with my mind and experience.
"About midway through their first debate, Hillary Clinton said of Donald Trump: “I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And, yes, I did. And you know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that’s a good thing.”
It was one of her best moments, an understated swipe at Trump’s evident lack of preparation for the responsibilities of the Oval Office, and it got to the heart of their often disjointed exchanges: Clinton was measured and assured, if a little too much of a policy wonk at times, while Trump was as erratic and peevish as he has been since the beginning of his campaign."

"Words matter when you run for President,” Hillary Clinton said toward the end of Monday night’s happening at Hofstra University, on Long Island. Clinton was criticizing Donald Trump for his loose language regarding America’s allies in Asia, but she could have been summing up the lopsided debate, which saw her doing virtually everything she needed to do while Trump indicted himself with his own words."
