Hillary Clinton won the first debate, hands down
Hillary Clinton showed America precisely why she is the best (and frankly, only) qualified candidate running for president. She was firm and steady and displayed a total command of the issues. Donald Trump was nervous, blustering and erratic, with no perceptible grasp of fundamental questions. Here are highlights from real-time coverage: Donald Trump has given us the worst debate […]
