12 Thoughts I Had While Watching The Second Debate

On Sunday, October 9th, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off in the second presidential debate. Held as a more casual town hall style, the candidates walked about the stage, fielding questions from audience members. The debate was incredibly painful to watch, with plenty of cringeworthy moments including Trump's blatant dismissal of sexual harassment and assault as "locker room talk." Other highlights included an audience question forcing the candidates to name one thing they admired about the other and a fly that seemed partial to Hillary Clinton's shirt. Here are my reactions to the second debate as told via gifs.

1. Seeing them walk around makes the debate seem a lot more confrontational.

2. Donald Trump does realize that the answer to a question about sexual assault is not "ISIS," right?

3. I feel bad for the moderators when the candidates run over the time limit.

4. You can't really just threaten to jail your opponent, can you?
