12 Things I Texted My Friends During the Debate

The Clinton-Trump debates have finally come to a close and for most of us, we are relieved. These debates have been unlike anything we've ever seen and honestly, created a lot more confusion regarding the 2016 Presidential Election. While watching the debate, a lot of controversial topics arose and of course we had to text our friends about them. Here is a list of 12 things I texted my friends during the debate.

1. Wait, what was the question?

During these debates, we often found ourselves stumped because we couldn't remember what the candidates were being asked because they were too concerned with bringing the other candidate down.

2. How did Trump make it this far?

With absolutely no political experience whatsoever, how does one make it into the final two candidates of a presidential election?!

3. Okay, Clinton seriously needs to reevaluate the pantsuit selection.

I mean pantsuits are never really cute, but there has to be something better than that..

4. Does Donald Trump realize the answer to a question about sexual assault is not "ISIS"?

Every time Trump was faced with a question about sexual assault, his answer was always somewhere along the lines of "Look at ISIS!" Sorry sir, that was not the question we were asking.

5. Wait. Did he just threaten to jail his opponent? Yes, yes he did.

6. How many times are we going to talk about the emails?!

Pretty sure we've brought the emails up like 100,000 times, so let's just stop beating a dead horse.


7. I just want to see Hillary do her debate shimmy.

8. We can't get through one question without someone interrupting the other.

Come on guys, let's just be respectful here.


9. Yeah, I don't think I respect Donald Trump.

I hate what he says about women and how he views them. He seems to think that women should just be trophy wives and sit at home and I'm just not okay with that.


10. But I actually really don't like Hillary either.

Hillary is far from an angel. She is the epitome of a politician and I can't stand that.


11. This election is giving me anxiety.

Are these seriously the best candidates we could find?


12. Oh my gosh, the election is literally less than a month away.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
