The real winner of the first presidential debate was Twitter. As the debate seemingly changed nothing, celebrities took to Twitter to celebrate and criticize the ninety minute shit show. So we thought a look at the best tweets would be a good way for those of you who missed the proceedings to stay informed. Look at it this way, you only missed the most watched debate in American history.
Jerry Springer got things off to a classy start.
Hillary Clinton belongs in the White House. Donald Trump belongs on my show.

Patton Oswalt brought us the poop jokes.
Hillary's strategy: Be a woman talking calmly and intelligently near Trump and make him fear-poop. #Debates2016

Kumail Nanjiani keeps it current.
Trump deleting tweets like he just got cast on SNL.

Let's talk about those sniffs, shall we?
Many people are saying that @realDonaldTrump's #sniffles are the result of a cocaine problem. Many, many people. Credible sources. #Debates

Trump keeps lying.
On @foxandfriends @realDonaldTrump said he won a @CBSNews post-debate poll. We did not conduct a post-debate poll.

Good thing someone was taking notes on Trump's broken speech.

Republicans pushing for the the things that really matter.... *sigh*
Where's Hillary's American flag? Maybe she thought it was an email and got rid of it. Merica. pic.twitter.com/dxMGVm6QXd

One of these people looks like a president. The other looks like he'd dance way too close to you at a wedding.

Hillary: "I am prepared, educated and informed."
Donald: "I had something super mean to say but I am keeping it to myself!" #Debates2016
