Hillary won the 1st and 3rd, Donald won the 2nd.

This in a nutshell, but her wins were not by huge margins like people think, and I don't think they made any real difference except for the second one

Presidential debates don't have "winners." That's a dumb media cliché.

Unfortunately, HRC took this trope literally. Re-watch the first or third debate and this quickly becomes obvious. (The second is too horrifying for a re-view, but I assume that the same applies.) HRC debates as if she were in a competition, while Trump just performs.

NYU put on a demonstration to this effect not long after the actual debates. They hired a couple of actors to reenact them, but they cast each candidate as the opposite gender. Audience members were almost universally shocked by how much they disliked the actor's portrayal of HRC and by how drawn they were to the actress's portrayal of Trump.

I've been saying that for quite a while. The idea of who 'won' is entirely subjective
