Folks in the Twitterverse had plenty to say during the first presidential debate between candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt moderated six segments on topics ranging from jobs and prosperity, taxes, discussions on racial healing, cybersecurity and nuclear weapons.
On Trump’s temperament:
Whet? U don’t even have a better temperament than a two year old.. Let alone an adult.. And damn sure not a president of the United States

On Trump’s debating skills:
Trump’s campaign manager called him “the Babe Ruth of debating.” So it’s official: he’ll be drunk. #LateShowLive pic.twitter.com/gUuzckUQmp

And the most important thing (I think) to remember:
Maybe people think some perfect candidate is gonna show up and they’re waiting for that. It will never happen. Vote for the best one.
