Clinton objectively had the stronger debate performances, as indicated by responses to post-debate polling that showed the public was more receptive to Clinton's substantive grasp of issues. However, what many people don't understand is that Trump was not trying to "win" the debate in terms of policy knowledge and temperament, but rather remind members of the Republican base of his opponent's flaws and that he would undertake their most prescient political issues. This is most clear in the last debate when the discussion revolved around the Supreme Court.
