If you were home Monday night, chances are that you watched the debate. You probably watched both candidates go at it and try to make a good impression on the crowd. One candidate definitely did do this and one did not.

To start with, each candidate received a fair amount of time, Trump receiving a bit more, and each tried to make themselves heard. The Presidential debates are the place where you want to make yourself well known and liked so that you have a better chance of getting elected into office. The thing that makes me believe that Hillary did better than Trump is, she actually said what it is that she wanted to do. When asked a question, she responded with her plan. She didn't interrupt 22 times every 26 minutes (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/electi...), she didn't dodge questions and she didn't not admit to things. She was straight forward and gave her answer. She added in humor which is a great way to make people like you. Donald Trump dodged the questions and tried to attack Clinton instead. Is he trying to hide something? Was he unprepared? Perhaps. If you read the transcript of the debate (http://www.npr.org/2016/09/26/495115346/fact-check...), you can see many times where Trump just fell so behind Clinton.

In conclusion, Trump was unprepared, arrogant to admit to things, and simply didn't say what he was actually going to do. Clinton, on the other hand, was prepared, admitted to things, and said how she's going to do things. A good strategy that Trump doesn't have.
