Can you recall the fierce battle fought by Trump and Hillary? At one point, the presidential speeches between the two sides descended into a shouting match. On October 9th, 2016 the second presidential candidate debate was held at Washington University in St. Louis. The debate included issues like people’s livelihood, covering medical insurance, taxes, and basic education. These topics deserved the general public’s attention. However, surprisingly, the key points of the debate were not what attracted their attention. Instead, online commentary was what grabbed the spotlight. For example, some people on Twitter joked, "This looks like a karaoke love song duet." Moreover, during the election campaign, news of private scandals pushed the political show to its climax.

From Hillary Clinton's Email Controversy and the William J. Clinton Foundation, to Trump’s allegations of tax evasion, these scandals added a dash to the election.
