Twitter newsfeeds were moving at lightning speed during Monday night’s record-breaking debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. But, amongst all the noise, what were some of the best 140-characters-or-less moments of the night?
Between a heavy scouting of “Media Twitter” and our hashtag #MFDebates, we’ve compiled our top 10 tweets of the night listed below:
1. The consistently interrupted women of the world strike back:
Shout out to all the women having stress flashbacks to being yelled over in important meetings

2. Even though Dulles is a pain to get to, we’re pretty sure it’s still half-decent:
MAKE OUR AIRPORTS GREAT AGAIN #debates #MFDebates
— Karena M Halvorssen (@khalvorssen) September 27, 2016
3. The Donald taking Twitter hits, even when he’s on the defensive:
Im not racist b/c my business did not break federal law by racially discriminating – summary of @realDonaldTrump #debates #MFDebates
— Grace Mausser (@GraceMausser) September 27, 2016
4. When media pundits get shout-outs on the debate stage:
You need to call @seanhannity to get a quote because he doesn’t have the media platform to release the information himself #MFDebates
— Brett Maney (@BryokoM) September 27, 2016
5. An opportunity sadly missed:
Trump failed to speak to the Vaping community tonight.
Missed opportunity.

6. When you have to allow a certain amount of time for sniffles:
Trump brought 20 minutes of material to a 90 minute show.

7. Lewinsky was not mentioned, BUT Rosie O’Donnell was!
The post-debate spin from Team trump appears to be that Trump won because he did not bring up Monica Lewinsky.

8. The fact-checkers of the world have a big job ahead of them:
I need a three-year nap before beginning this fact check
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) September 27, 2016
9. Hillary was keen to use campaign slogans on Monday. Trump however…
I’m really struck that Trump didn’t do the Crooked Hillary schtick to her face. A bully, but also a coward.

10. A woman’s beauty and looks? Sure. But what of her stamina?
I for one am mortified that Trump may have judged a beauty queen by her appearance.
