"I don’t think anyone won the debate," associate professor of constitutional democracy Ben Kleinerman said. "I think probably what matters at this point is that Hillary didn't lose the debate."

One issue with the debate was that it was more aggressive and less substantial than the first debate, Kleinerman said.

The debate was town hall-style, so the audience and the internet provided the questions asked throughout the night.

"I think that each candidate being asked question by the audience was a great way to get real answers," Secretary of MSU College Republicans Noelle Cohn said. "I think we got candid responses from them."

One of the first questions asked regarded the recently leaked 2005 audio of Donald Trump lewdly discussing his sex life and television host Nancy O'Dell.

"He passed (the comments) off as locker room banter, he gave a kind of apology," Kleinerman said. "I think anyone who was bothered by the comments will not be satisfied with his answer."

President of MSU College Democrats Daniel Eggerding said Trump has said a lot of sexist things before, but this could be the tipping point.

"Women are our mothers and daughters, but most importantly they're humans," Eggerding said. "I think they will be the deciders in the election."

Clean energy was another topic discussed during the debate.

"I think we should be moving towards clean energy," Cohn said. "Trump has said it could be a potential industry in America. (However) it should not be a top priority for either candidate."

Climate change is an issue that affects every facet of our lives, MSU College Democrats Chief of Staff Michael Sandoval said.

The final debate of the 2016 election season will be at 9 p.m. on Oct. 19.
