9 Unmissable Quotes From The Presidential Debate
NBC

This year's first presidential debate was nothing less than hilarious. While both candidates touched upon some good topics, the event almost seemed like late night satire rather than a presidential debate. Interruptions, lies, and burns kept coming at a rapid pace throughout the debate. If you didn't tune in the other night, here are some quotes that you have missed.

1) “Donald, I know you live in your own reality, but those are not the facts.” -Clinton

I have to give props to Secretary Clinton during the debate for not losing her cool and staying poised while Trump, slowly but surely, got angrier.

2. "I think my strongest asset by far is my temperament. I have a winning temperament."- Trump

Trump tried to back up his statement that his best quality was his temperament, which I can confidently say gave the whole country a chuckle, Trump fan or not.

3. "I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And, yes, I did. You know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that's a good thing."-Clinton

By far, the best and most professionally crafted dig of the entire debate. This line proves that she has the control to debate without throwing pitchforks in the competitors back.

4. “That makes me smart.”- Trump

This was Trump's response to Clinton saying that he might not pay for federal taxes. Need I say more?

5. “I call it 'Trumped Up, Trickle Down' because that's exactly what it would be.”-Clinton

Clinton says this about Trump's financial plan. She is trying to create a saying that will stick with the voters watching. Did it work? That’s debatable.

6. Clinton: "I had a feeling by the end of this evening that I'd be blamed for everything."

Trump: "Why not?”

This quote made Trump look defensive and foolish. He doesn’t seem to know what he was specifically saying.

7. "Donald, it's good to be with you."-Clinton

Another point to Clinton. She decided to still greet him with respect and a smile on her face.

8. “It could have been Russia. It could be China. It could be someone sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds.”

Clearly Trump is just so sensitive right?

9. "This is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs and someone who has said pregnancy is an inconvenience to employers, who has said that women don't deserve equal pay unless they do as good a job as men."-Clinton

This quote from Secretary Clinton summed up America’s republican candidate for president. If this counts as “good temperament” then I do not want to know what his bad side looks like.

All I have to say is, Good luck America. Choose wisely.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
