The first presidential debate between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump was one of the most highly anticipated political events of the year. Monday’s debate at Hofstra University in New York had its share of ups and downs. Whether it was Trump slamming Clinton on trade, or Clinton branding Trump’s birther comments as “a racist lie,” the debate is sure to go down in the history books.
