The saddest part about this debate was that it was exactly what a town hall shouldn't be. The reason people hate these two candidates so much is because they feel like they don't care about other people but themselves. That's the message I get from everyone who's an undecided voter. Both Annoying Orange and Clinton spent the whole debate attacking each other, without any sort of outreach to the audience or the people that are watching. In a town hall, you relate to the voters and to their concerns. You talk about issues, not personality. You would have gained just as much value if you placed Annoying Orange and Clinton in a room without a moderator or an audience. It was literally just them arguing about each others' ethics, and nothing about policy.
Annoying Orange was arrogant, he sounded more like a Breitbart journalist than a competent politician. I know people think the "you would be in jail" comment could be some kind of "mic-drop" moment, but it came off as petty and cringe-worthy. Clinton was constantly on the defensive, even when given clear moments to take him down. I really can't pick a winner, because Annoying Orange barely slowed down the bleeding and Clinton didn't take the opportunities given to her. In the end, the undecided voters lost. If I hadn't made a choice now nothing would've changed my opinion. It was a battle between two politicians who were too busy mud-wrestling with each other, forgetting about the American people.
