America watched Monday night’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton unfold like a bad housewives reunion show. The only key components missing were Andy Cohen and shoe throwing. A woman with more than a half century of political experience spent 90 minutes going back and forth with a reality star.

How did we get here?

It’s too late to ask questions.

According to a CNN/ORC poll, Clinton was declared winner of the first debate by 62% of voters. But let’s give Twitter a chance to weigh in.

The floor was set. Let the low blows begin.

First order of business, who designed the debate tickets?

My next question: who approved the design? Where is the spell checker? And most importantly, who printed them? The final version of the ticket was likely viewed by several pairs of eyes, and no one thought to speak up and say “Aye bruh, you’re missing an ‘l’ in Hillary.”

Debate night in one tweet.

Let me summarize what happened during #debatenight.

To be clear, Clinton did her homework and Trump unsuccessfully tried to copy off her paper.

They’ll never agree on tax returns or missing emails.

Moderator Lester Holt came through with the fact checking.

Donald Trump: “I did not support the war in Iraq.”

As for their handling of race issues..

DEAR DONALD TRUMP

NOT 👏🏾 ALL 👏🏾 BLACK 👏🏾 PEOPLE 👏🏾 LIVE 👏🏾 IN 👏🏾 INNER 👏🏾 CITIES 👏🏾 #debatenight

— Karen Attiah (@KarenAttiah) September 27, 2016

Trump is clearly unsure where black people actually live, he's just naming cities he's heard in the news and hoping he's right #debatenight

— Robin Thede (@robinthede) September 27, 2016

Answering a question about Racial injustice with the need for more law & order is code for "contain black and brown people." #debatenight

— Marshawn Daniels Esq (@marshawnevans) September 27, 2016

"We have to take guns away from these people that have them." THESE PEOPLE! He's talking about Black people. #debatenight

— Awesomely Luvvie (@Luvvie) September 27, 2016

But… they BOTH basically said, "Black people are dangerous folks who crawl around with guns and shoot everyone" #debatenight

— Jameelah Jones, M.A (@sunnydaejones) September 27, 2016

Here's my favorite part: white people telling black people how to behave. #debatenight

Honestly, truly, Leslie Jones won the debate.

In conclusion..

You may not think Hillary should be president. But I think last night gave you ample examples of why Trump shouldn’t be. #debatenight
