Watching the debate and simultaneously checking my own twitter feed, along with searching popular hashtags, allowed me to compare people's opinions throughout the whole debate. My twitter feed contained tweets from Hillary supporters, Trump supporters, and people who did not support either candidate. The official Twitter hashtag #debates, provided an endless amount of tweets ranging from fact checking videos to funny memes. Each topic discussed during the debate was commented on by viewers. By using different hashtags I was able to pin point tweets specifically regarding those issues. I wasn't that shocked to see my own feed consisted mostly of mocking each candidate. I was shocked, however, to see that #trumpwon was the #1 trending hashtag on Twitter today. I don't necessarily like Hillary, but I am definitely against Trump. It was both an insightful and alarming experience to follow the debate on Twitter, and be exposed to that many differing opinions.
