Debate analysis

In the last two debates there were many good things that went on. Both made winning tactics,  and also a couple mistakes.  For example in the first debate Hillary showed very good poise.  This played to her advantage because many looked at trump as a bully.  She took the heat all night and interestingly laughed it off.   In my opinion I feel as if Trump did a better job in the second debate because he wasn't focusing as much on attacking Hillary.  Not saying he didn't attack her but he controlled himself and went after her when needed. Both used obfuscation Fallacy  throughout their debate, dodging questions constantly while trying to cover it up. Trump made this a little more obvious by basically answering nothing while Hillary would atleast address the question that was asked. This is definitely not the right thing to do during the debate, the audience would like to know your stance and position and answer all the questions thoroughly. Trump has shown a lack of seriousness through the two debates and a lot of sarcasm. For example when he said, "Secretary Clinton—is that OK? Yes? Good. I want you to be happy, it’s very important to me." This was a perfect example of one of our candidates taking this debate as a joke. Is that how we want our next president to be? A joke? I think not. In the second debate I think Hilary's ending was poor. The question was, “what's one positive thing you could say about your opponent?” Hillary didn't necessarily give a compliment to trump but just said he respects the way he raised his kids. And for trump on the other hand, the ending to his debate was the best thing he could have done all night. He showed respect in women which many people say he doesn't and told Hillary that he likes how she doesn't give up and she's a fighter. This showed to many people including myself that trump isn't such a bad guy and could give credit where credit is due. If I had to guess I would think trump would have avoided the question like he did all night but instead this was probably the one and only question he answered. All and all I feel as if both presented themselves poorly. Both debates didn't go well and was basically an embarrassment to our country I think the two could learn from the last two debates and hopefully make positive changes and say what the audience wants to know.
