We wrapped up the debate tonight with a discussion with professors Thor Hogan, Welling Hall, and Ryan Murphy.
"[Hillary] doesn't have the look, she doesn't have the stamina." Earlham student: "Sexist, sexist ass!"
HRC: "A man who could be provoked by a tweet shouldn't have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes." This got a big positive reaction.
"I did not support the war in Iraq." Trump says support is rumor peddled by Clinton's campaign. Students crack up at Hillary's expression
Although Earlham audience is conducting their own fact-checking - laughs and exclamations greet comments being marked by news organizations
"We have got to address the systemic racism in our criminal justice system." -HRC
Greeted by applause.
problematic comments about law & order, stop & frisk, and claims of police being too afraid to do anything. (2/2)
Audience is silent during Hillary's comments on rebuilding trust and tackling gun epidemic, but is loud and angry during Trump's (1/2)
The debate moves into topics about race. "One of you is going to have to bridge a very wide and painful gap."
Trump's comparisons of US airports to those of "third-world countries" elicits groans and intense disapproval.
On the subject of Trump's tax returns -- Hillary's well-researched speculation receives Quaker knocks in the audience.
HRC plugs her fact-checking website, and we checked it out. Legit, or too biased? Either way, a brilliant political move.
