    US Election Update: US Media's take on the second presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

    Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
    After much controversies on Donald Trump disgusting tape that was leaked and the intense week, both Democrat and Republican presidential candidates finally fought it out on Sunday night and US media have given their verdict on who won the second presidential debate.

    There are always controversies when it comes to given judgement, there are division in giving verdicts but there are thought and feelings that Mrs Clinton came out top again in Sunday's second presidential debate in St Louis but columnists are not fully convinced on how Hillary handled Trump and allowed him performed more than expectations.

    "The smiling Hillary we saw throughout the first debate on Long Island? She didn't make the trip west."

    Fox News on their own conclusion said Mr Trump managed to pull off a surprising performance, but the channel has not explicitly announced that the Republican candidate won the debate.

    The conservative network also said his performance was good but was manoeuvring questions all for him to still stay in the race.

    William Whelan, a political analyst gave credit to Mr Trump saying the night fell into the hands, Breitbart news, reported.

    In a leading story quoting comments from former mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, it reports that Mrs Clinton was "pounded on bad decisions".

    Mr Mike Pence, the running mate of the Republican presidential candidate gave cuddles to his boss through tweeter.

    The Washington Post's verdict consigning the debate highlighted an "increasingly isolated" Mr Trump during an "unusually dark and bitter face-off". 

    News site Right Turn blog, Jennifer Rubin says Mrs Clinton had very little to do in order to go "the last little way in wrapping up the election", that Democrat presidential candidate handled the audience well when answering their questions also added that She earlier won the debate by "simply keeping her cool".

    Mr Trump was unable to defend his tax issues when it was first brought up in the first debate and that could give Mrs Clinton material for a new raft of political ads.

    Eugene Joseph Dionne Jr opinion writer, wrote in a separate post that Mr Trump's "petulant" and "boorish" approach on the night was an indication of "a man aware that his campaign was at the edge of extinction".

    "It took the nastiest, most bitterly personal presidential debate in recent memory for the Republican nominee to stanch the downward plunge" so writes Stephen Collinson for CNN.

    He says that Mr Trump will live to fight another day "after throwing out a battery of vicious counter punches", while US politics "changed in the course of one nasty night".

    A CNN/ORC poll of debate watchers gave Sunday's victory to Mrs Clinton. But the results showed some unbelievable expectations from Mr Trump.

    Mrs Clinton took the win with 57% of the vote, the poll says, while Mr Trump managed to achieve 34%. The result could be considered a disappointment for Mrs Clinton, who scored 62% in the first presidential debate.

    The Atlantic, which endorsed Mrs Clinton last week, suggests that Mr Trump suffered an "implosion" in St Louis on Sunday.

    Ron Fournier, whose coverage of US politics dates back to the days of Bill Clinton, writes that Mrs Clinton did about as well as anyone could while dealing with a "barking" opponent and "pouting menace".

    Mr Fournier said that throughout the debate the controversial Republican "failed to patch together his collapsing campaign".

    The website suggests that Mrs Clinton perfectly handled Mr Trump's comment about "instructing my attorney general to get a special prosecutor" to look into allegations that she deleted thousands of emails in violation of a congressional subpoena.

    Mrs Clinton laughed and said it was a good thing "somebody with Donald Trump's temperament" doesn't have such power.

    "Nothing hurts a bully like somebody laughing at him," the column says
