Donald Trump Strengths:
-I think Donald Trump did a great job keeping himself restrained for the most part. He was rude, but unlike his usual self, not constantly.
-I believe Donald Trump had a critical moment when heasked why Hillary would not release her emails. This was made worse for Hillary by her not answering.
Donald Trump Weaknesses:
-He did not back up his points with evidence. This is usual for Donald Trump, so I'm not sure this will affect support for him.
-He did nothing to earn the black vote, and on the contrary, he may have alienated blacks even further by suggesting stop and frisk be brought back.
Hillary Clinton Strengths:
-She made it clear that she had prepared for the debate. All of her points were backed up with evidence and she had a specific plan,unlike Trump.
-She did well to earn the black vote, by calling for criminal justice system reform,and harshly criticizing stop and frisk.
Hillary Clinton Weaknesses:
-It was clear that Hillary Clinton looked down on trump. She often laughed at Trump which made her come across as arrogant and disrespectful.
-She did not answer Trump's question about why she would not release her emails. She also brought up the hacking of the DNC, which I believe was a HUGE mistake, as the hacking of the DNC proved that she had an unfair advantage over her rival, Bernie Sanders.
Overall, I believe Hillary Clinton won this debate because of her preparedness and poise. It was A LOT closer than you might think though. While Clinton had evidence and was clearly more prepared than Trump, she made critical mistakes b avoiding answering Trump's question about releasing her emails and by shining a spotlight on the DNC hacking which sheds light on an unfair advantage she had in the Primaries.
