Finally, the Presidential debates are over. We have to say the last one was a pretty interesting watch. Donald Trump as usual gave us some words to remember him by: disaster, bigly, hombres (Spanish word for ‘Dude’, but slang for homie or punk, according to Urban Dictionary) and yes, the sniffles did not go away.
Hillary, on the other hand tried to keep the focus on policy and fact-checking Donald.
While Clinton nodded to rights for women, the LGBT community and those opposed to Citizens United, Trump nodded to the NRA and anti-abortion activists. Clinton was more adept in explaining policy.
That’s what we say but here’s what Twitter had to say about the debate.

Trump only cuts taxes "massively" on top earners. Others, Tax Policy Center says, will see very minor reductions, and some will pay more.
