The second presidential debate of the election was conducted on Sunday, October 9th at Washington University in St. Louis. It was moderated by CNN’s Anderson Cooper and ABC News’ Martha Raddatz.

The candidates covered many topics and Hillary Clinton, Democratic nominee, went first.

Both were asked to reflect on their behavior, and the influence it has on children. Clinton answered, talking about the importance of making sure the children of the country know that this country is great. She went on to further explain her campaign slogan, “Stronger, Together.”

Trump, Republican nominee, then answered stating that he agreed with Clinton. He described the potential he believes our country has but also the deficit that our country is in, which did not directly relate to the question at hand. Cooper followed Trump’s response with information and questions about the recent video that was released, which exposed a controversial conversation that Trump had many years ago.

Trump responded with, “This was locker room talk.”

Clinton was allowed to share her thoughts on the issue. She explained how Trump was unfit to serve as president and that the video represented exactly who Trump is.

The debate followed Trump’s with discussion about the emails that were deleted by Clinton and she apologized once again for the scandal.

After a small argument between Trump and the moderators about speaking privileges, another audience question was asked about the nominees plans for Obamacare. Both answered willingly.

They covered Muslim protection as well as Trump talking about a time when he released a policy proposal just before a rally in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina which called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” Since then Trump has apparently released an alternative concept called “extreme vetting”.

“We don’t know where these people come from,” he said while discussing Syrian refugees in Canton, Ohio. “We don’t know if they have love or hate in their heart, and there’s no way to tell.”

Both candidates shared their plans following the question about what they will do to ensure the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share of taxes. Trump spoke about taking advantage of the tax code and his proposal to lower taxes while Clinton expressed her proposal to have a tax on people who make one million dollars and a surcharge on incomes above five million.

After Clinton laid out her accomplishments during her 30 years in the government, the debate then moved to the issues with Syria and the humanitarian crisis in Aleppo. Trump spent time talking about his confusion with our country’s military in that they have not conducted a sneak attack on Mosul.

The nominees were asked if they would be devoted to all the people of the country and both answered that they would. Clinton was questioned by Cooper about a time when she said that half of Trump supporters were deplorables.

Clinton said, “I said that I was sorry about the way I talked about that because my argument is not with his supporters, it’s with him.”

Another audience question related to energy policies and how they will stay environmentally friendly while minimizing job loss. Trump went first and spoke about clean coal and how it lasts for many years and that it is very convenient to us at the moment. He stated that he would bring energy companies back which will pay off our national debt. Clinton not only voiced her plan to have a trade prosecutor to confirm that we are not taken advantage of by China on Steel or other resources, but also that she has a comprehensive energy policy which does include the battle against climate change.

The final question from the audience was, “Regardless of the current rhetoric, would either of you name one positive thing that you respect in one another.”

Clinton shared that she respects Trump’s children and how able and devoted they are. She stated that she believes this election has become very conflict oriented due to what is at stake as one of the most consequential elections that the nation has had. Trump’s compliment was his respect for her perseverance. While he disagreed with much of what she said and what she is fighting for.

According to NBC News, Clinton won the debate with 44 percent of likely voters who watched or followed to the debate. Trump finished with 34 percent and 21 percent said neither won.

The third and final debate will take place on October 19th at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
