Granted I didn't watch it, I caught the last hour or so of it on Iheart on my drive home. It seemed to me Trump got more outright applause than Hillary did. Remember though I didn't watch it so i couldn't see the faces made by the crowd to judge any reaction besides noise made.
"Hillary spoke on a broad spectrum of subjects and confidently invited fact-checking for herself and opponent." perhaps I missed this but the only fact checking she encouraged (twice I think) was through her website. I highly doubt they would call her out on any less than factual statements on her own site so this seems a bit disingenuous to me.
I agree the moderator seemed very ineffective letting Trump wonder off subject and use the clock up so to speak.
