Presidential Election of 2016

Presidential election started earlier this time. There has already been two debates; one among Republicans and another one among Democratic candidates. Republican debate looked more like a verbal argument than a debate, and candidates made, to put it simply, a mockery of themselves. The best way to weigh the impact of their debate is to analyze the result, which put Donald Trump at the top of the table as the most popular candidate. It is interesting that conservative media tried to discredit Trump by putting his name with the less known candidates, or not mentioning his name at all (see http://2016.republican-candidates.org/ and https://www.conservativereview.com/2016-presidential-candidates for instance). The Democratic debate on the other hand, was more civil, and the only ones who were prepared and had had campaigned about their plans were Clinton and Sanders.
