Who Won and Lost the First Presidential Debate?

Political pollster Frank Luntz said the first #PresidentialDebate was “disruptive, aggressive, rude.” He added, “The public was really the loser of what happened this evening.”

President Donald Trump decided Tuesday to bring his chaotic and confrontational style directly to the debate stage at his first face-off with Democrat Joe Biden, seemingly unconcerned that his approach has alienated many independent and moderate voters.

What resulted is likely to go down as one of the low points in U.S. presidential debate history.

Trump’s frequent interruptions and personal barbs during the roughly 90-minute showdown were the personification of his re-election strategy, which has focused largely on exciting a core group of die-hard supporters who revel in his willingness to insult and shock while giving no ground.
