The neck-and-neck competition between the two political rivals Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump finally called for an epic showdown. The highly-anticipated national clash between the Democratic former Secretary of State and Republican real estate business developer allowed them to conquer the political platforms and thus, encountered each other formally in the first presidential debate.
And now when the results of the first presidential debate are out, it is guaranteed that the Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton took the lead as her presidential temperament as well as her comebacks called for an applause. Donald Trump, on the other hand, was buried under media criticisms at the end of the debate as his content lacked the political essence and was merely ranting throughout the process.
Mrs. Clinton's careful analysis of her arguments allowed her to position the facts that were thrown into the battleground with a positive yet flexible attitude. So automatically when the evening at Hofstra University ended, Donald Trump's loathed rants gave him away.
The first topic discussed was job creation, with the White House candidates being asked how they would make American employers bring back hefty production to the US.
The second topic of the evening was "America's Direction", and how to rebuild America's racial gap, Clinton said "race still determines how people are treated in the US criminal justice system" maintains Al Jazeera. Clinton slammed Trump as she continued that the latter has a history of racial discrimination as he once disallowed African Americans to rent his apartments.
The third topic chosen by the Presidential Debate Commission for Monday's face-off at Hofstra University was "Securing America".
"Trump came out aggressively ... but never offered much in terms of substance or answers," political analyst Jason Johnson told Al Jazeera.
"I think Hillary did what she needed to do better than Trump. She offered solutions.. explained how she sees America and her worldview. Her supporters will come out very enthusiastic."
Clinton's main agenda sheds light on niches such as the emphases on child care, paid family leave and equal pay, which was seen in her opening statement. Moderator Lester Holt of NBC and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton both compelled him more on his preceding business approaches, his denial to issue his tax returns and his record of statements belittling women.
Mrs. Clinton, also pressed Trump about his remarks for women, his history of gathering reservations and suspicions about current President Barack Obama's birthplace, his business failures, his discrepancies on his previous support for the Iraq War and many, many more topics that without a doubt, came from meticulous homework and in-depth opposition study.
Two more debates are scheduled for October 9 and October 19.
