I don´t know if it is because I don´t know enough English or because the moderator did not have the personality to stop the speakers (mainly president Trump) from interrupting each other.
But friends, I got lost. The debate up to now is not living up to the expectations I hoped to hear.
It is a pity. I wanted to watch it. But I´ll go back to my movies or my reading.
See you later.

Not watching the debate. Have no interest in it at all. I just hope Trump won't win.

@marguicha Well, we're not US citizens. Just have to wait and see what's going to happen. I have families in the US who will vote and definitely not voting for Trump.

@toniganzon If foreigners around the world could vote, he would have no chances.

I did watch. I also got what each party defended, however I won't give my opinion on this. I did perceive that Mr. President wasn't so given when speaking.

@jvicentevalera I found this definition of debate. "The definition of a debate is a formal discussion of the opposing sides of a specific subject or a formal contest of arguments." It is important the woeds "formal" (and here the president interrupted every sentence) and neither could finally express anything well.

I saw it at the BBC and after the debate, it was compared to 2 toddlers fighting. It was a shame. Although by far the worst was Trump.

@marguicha I have read that Trump has been a bully during the whole time, not letting the other talk too.

We did not watch it. I expected to hear that there was a lot of interrupting and ignoring.

@wolfgirl569 I have seen online a couple of the speeches of ex president Obama. He was a brilliant speaker.

I would not call it a debate though. I wonder if they have online dabates of other candidates if the US.

I did not watch the debate. If you could not follow it then it is best to watch a movie or read a book. Perhaps they will have the debate on YouTube afterward then you can follow it more closely if you are interested,

It was piteous. I don´t understand why the Republicans could not come across a better candidate.

@marguicha Read my comment below. Trump is not a bad candidate at all. Hopefully it will make sense to you.
