Donald Trump won the second presidential debate — or at least that’s what you’d think if you were reading the Internet Sunday night.
After Trump and Hillary Clinton went head to head for 90 minutes during a town hall style debate in St. Louis, Mo., it was clear that the Republican nominee had won the Internet over.
In the first debate, Trump lost with attacks; tonight, he's winning with humor. #Debate pic.twitter.com/QpaNQ0Iz1K

Trump is not falling.
After the exchange on taxes, 16 say Trump is winning, 9 say Clinton. #Debate

Hillary does well when she appeals for bipartisanship, but plummets when she blatantly ignores the mods. #debate pic.twitter.com/dglyxtcdrY

“Hillary does well when she appeals for bipartisanship, but plummets when she blatantly ignores the mods,” Luntz noted on Twitter.
Peter Beinart, a contributing editor for The Atlantic, agreed that Trump won as well.
hate to say it but I think @realDonaldTrump staunched his campaign's collapse tonight. Until the next big scoop #Debates2016
