Ahead of the 58th
quadrennial United States presidential election on November 8, 2016, the world
watched with bated breath as the two major candidates in the election,
Republican Candidate Donald Trump and Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton went
head to head at three separate debates held at New York’s Hofstra University
(September 26, 2016), Washington University in St. Louis (October 9, 2016), and
University of Nevada, Las Vegas (October 19, 2016).
For the two candidates who met the Commission on Presidential
Debates’ criteria for participation, the debates provided a
much-needed platform to present to the American voting public their plans or
reform proposals on a number of foreign and domestic issues.
