Highlights of The U.S 2016 First Presidential debate

The early hours of this morning brought with it the first U.S 2016 presidential debate.Trump and Clinton battled each others policies,ideas and personality at Hempstead, NY.
Hosted by Losterl Holt, the debate took 90 minutes. The first 30 Minutes Trump came off really in control but has a constant attitude of interrupting Clinton's speech
Clinton, to me was seen to be calm and managed her temperament throughout the debate, in fact she was seen basically smiling on some of Trumps accusation more especially Trump was more interested and questioned Clinton on why her email Server provider Pleaded the Fifth Amendment if there wasn't something terrible to hide in her over 3000 private mails. He also accused her of lack of stamina to be the President. "She doesn’t have the look and she doesn’t have the stamina,” Trump said. “I’ve been all over the place. You decided to stay home" He added. Clinton took up responsibility and said she made a terrible mistake with using a private email and she regrets it but she easily manoeuvred the topic and  delivered a strong performance in which she demonstrated a command of policy and a sense of humor. As far as she is concerned she has this to say "I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate," she said. "And yes, I did. And you know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be President. And that is a good thing."
Trump who came in as the business mogul who is going to spine the table around for US economic growth, was accused on many major issues of his personality,racism, taxes and disrespect for women. Clinton reminded us of how Trump called  a beauty pageant Miss piggy and Miss Housekeeping because she has gained a lot of wight and being Latino.
She also went ahead to lay fact of the kind of person Trump is.
"He has a long record of engaging in racist behavior. And the birther lie was a very hurtful one,” said Clinton.
She also accused him of “stiffing thousands” of contractors by declaring bankruptcy as a businessman. And in a powerful closing argument she highlighted Trump’s record of sexism.
