Hillary Clinton
Strength: Focuses on helping the middle class and making the wealthy pay more. Provides good statistics to back her points. Very good at pointing out the flaws in her opponent, like his focus on only making money, and disbelief in climate change. Points out Trump’s flaws in his business which is considered his greatest strength. Such as his 6 files for bankruptcies as well as his refusals to rent property to black people.
Weakness: Attached to her husband's mistakes, as well as Obama’s policies that have failed. She looks untrustworthy because she hid such a significant amount emails from the people and won’t release them.

Trump
Strength: Pointing out the flaws in the way other countries are affecting us rather than the way the country is affecting itself. Speaks with confidence and conviction that makes you think he is telling the truth. Turns Hillary’s arguments on herself making her look bad, such as the argument “why hasn’t Hillary done anything about _____ while she was in political power.”
Weakness: Is part of some of the wealthiest in America and appears to not care about or understand the middle class which is a large number of Americans. Only points out the problems and doesn’t focus on the solution. Interrupts Hillary and Lester, causing him to look disrespectful. Supports trickle down economics which has historically failed to help the middle class many times.


I think that Hillary Clinton won this debate because she appeals most to the middle class. She focuses more on how to economically relieve the middle class in contrast to Trump who appears to support the upper class. Since the middle class makes up 51% of America, and since only 0.01% of Americans make an annual 9.5 million, Hillary gains way more votes than Trump on her economic policy. I think that Hillary will also win more black votes because in the debate it is clearly pointed out Trump has committed discriminatory acts in business transactions. As well as his idea for unconstitutionally ruled stop and frisk laws. Lastly I think that Hillary will win more votes because she brings up more numbers to support her arguments which makes her more believable.
