One strength Hillary showed was being able to stay calm, poised, and professional. Even when she was constantly being interrupted and talked over by Trump she just continued to speak until she was finished. She didn't let that take her away and distract her from what she was going to say. She also was able to answer every question very well. She gave good points on each topic without derailing to try and avoid anything. She gave specific examples to back up what she was saying, whether it was to make her arguments stronger, or to target Donald Trump's flaws.
Donald Trump had some strengths as well. One big was his confidence. He was extremely confident about everything that he was saying which looks good to an audience. Selling what you are saying is important to get people to belive you and want to support you. Another strength he had was being able to highlight mistakes or questionable decisions Clinton has made in the past. He talked about the Iran deal and also how Hillary has changed her stance on things like TPP. These were hard for Hillary to defend herself against.
Although she had many strengths, Hillary Clinton also had some weaknesses. One weakness was that she was constantly attacking Trump. Even though it is important to point out the flaws in the other candidiate I feel like she spent too much time doing that instead of talking about her own views. Another weakness she had was looking like she wasn't taking anything Donald Trump was saying seriously. Sometimes she would smile or laugh at what he was saying, and even though many people have the same reaction, it seems less proffessional during a formal debate.
Donald Trump definitley had many weaknesses. The first one was how many false statements he made. He would often say things that, when fact checked, turned out to be completely false. He also lied when Hillary accused him of certain things. He denied her claims of him saying certain things in the past but they turned out to be true after also being fact checked. Another weakness of Trump's was how rude he acted throughout the whole debate. He interrupted Clinton and also the moderator countless times. Hillary could barely speak at some times because he would just talk over her. He would also deny claims she made just by saying "wrong". It was annoying and childish.
Hillary Clinton definitely won the debate. It was hard to think of any weaknesses she had, while I could think of an endless number of things Donald Trumo didn't do well. Her proffessionalism and ability to back up her statements was impressive. It prevailed over Trump's lies and childish behavior.
