 "Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump: The US presidential debate that took social media by storm")
Race to the White House heated up exponentially on Monday with the two candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump directly locking horns in an hour and a half US presidential debate that kept the world glued to the television sets to find out who was the better one. With such a high profile debate on, social media was quick to jump on the bandwagon. Besides the twists and turns, there were also a couple of serious burns during the debate. Citizen journalists took to the internet over with a flurry of witty tweets. People from across the world watched the debate and many even live tweeted. There were various things spoken on social media about the debate. Where we had celebrities live tweeting the debate, we also had Indians out of their beds at 7 am in the morning to watch the clash. There were also wacky remarks made and funny comments put forth on the internet. To sum that up, here’s a round-up of the variation of tweets and conclusions that were drawn during and after the first presidential debate between Trump and Clinton. 1. When the celebrities got sarcastic:
I literally don't know what I'm talking about. So can I run for president?! pic.twitter.com/n4ChmDX92O

A lot of people are saying Trump is on coke, which is ridiculous. People on cocaine love to talk about their specific plans for the future.

One of these people looks like a president. The other looks like he'd dance way too close to you at a wedding.

Trump to date has produced no certificate proving he wasn't born a total douchebag. Many people saying, I'm told.
