The 2016 Presidential debate with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, sparked an outbreak of tweets, using the hashtag #trumpwon and #hillarywon. I have selected 50 consecutive tweets from each candidate and will analyze below if Twitter users, understood what each candidate was saying, if there were any misunderstandings, and what tweeters thought about their style of communication.
