I’m disappointed with the debate overall. I don't see a clear "winner" to be honest. I wouldn’t blame either candidate per se. Maybe it’s the questions: how can one give a clear answer if the questions are so general?
I think too many people listen for what they want to hear and make their decisions based on that.
Anyways. In the spirit of the debate, I thought I'd share this link:

Thanks for the link to the top 25 funniest tweets about the debate. I had a lot of mixed feelings about this story because, on one hand, a lot of comments were irrelevant to the debate, such as whose flag pin was bigger or waiting for a swimsuit competition. Other comments pertained to debate topics or an individual’s opinion about a candidate, but were made in jest, not in significance. While the comments are definitely funny, I wonder if using social media to poke fun at the candidates or the debate process negates the seriousness and importance of political debates. It goes back to Habermas’s opinion that discourse should be logical and rational, and I’m not sure using political debates as a target for jokes falls in line with that view.
