The first presidential debate for election 2016 was very interesting to me. One big reason why I found it interesting is that I am from different part of world, different country, and trying to listen to United States' candidate's debates. However I always find politics as interesting topic so I really enjoyed watching it. In my opinion, Donal Trump won the debate. Here are two reasons.
First, Donald Trump was extremely aggressive. Compare to his opponent, Hillary Clinton, his attitude toward the debate truly stood up. While Clinton was being defensive, Trump was attacking her constantly. However he did not started attack from the start, he started it after Clinton attacked him based on his wealthy background. Trump was having his points and shooting at Clinton, but Clinton did not have much comebacks against it, also she was trying to pretending cool by laughing off but that did not worked out well. That created side effect of highlighting Trump's attack.
Second, compare to Clinton, Trump seem really confident and he took control of the stage. He showed that through his body language and his strong voice about his policies. Also every times when Clinton was attempting to attack him, he had good comeback on those questions. When Clinton pointed out that Trump is from rich family, Trump when back with proving that he established successful business with his own ability. Also by keep cutting into Clinton's speakings, fixing facts or biased points, he did great job with making audience to loose focus on her points. That helped him to take control of the stage and Clinton's scripted and monotone helped people to be waiting for Trump to speak up.
I think presidential debate was mixture of public speaking skills and knowledge on politics. I am not American citizen so I do not have rights to vote, but watching presidential debate was really interesting.
