politicians at the moment, and Trump is saying that he is not like her, that he is his own person and says exactly what he means. This leads me to his next strength, his ability to say whatever he thinks. Trump is able to take positions on issues that other politicians would just avoid. He probably has an opinion on every issue you can imagine, and he is able to say them all because, again, he is not a lifelong politician.
Hillary's strengths are almost the exact opposite. One of her strengths is that she has been a politician, or at least involved in politics for most of her life, so she is very experienced and knows what she's doing. She has been the First Lady, a senator, and Secretary of State, so she is qualified and has lots of experience she can use as president. Another one of her strengths is that she is tenacious. She has always fought for what she believes in, and she uses this to show that she would fight for her policy ideas as president.
Weaknesses: Trump has two weaknesses that stand out to me. The first one is that he is very unpredictable. He has often said crazy things that didn't expect even him to say. The problem with that is that people like to have at least an idea of how their president will act, and they don't have that with Trump. Another weakness he has is that he has sometimes shown that he has a weak understanding of the issues. He has repeatedly said things that are simply false, and often throws out insane policy ideas that have no chance of actually working.
Hillary's main weakness is her trustworthiness. She has been attacked from every opponent about her email scandal and how she received classified emails on a private server. People are not sure that they can trust her because she has shown that she has a tendency to hide certain facts from the public. Another one of her weaknesses is her inability to campaign very well. She has plenty of ideas, but has been unable to get her crowds as excited as Trump has made his. She has even admitted that she is a bad campaigner.
Overall, I think Hillary won the debate because she seemed much better prepared than Trump, and she was able to respond to the questions more completely and more civilized than Trump did.
