Millions tuned in to watch as qualified presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was forced to share a stage with a menacing, bloviating, barely coherent Donald Trump. In the wake of his latest scandal, in which he was heard bragging about getting away with sexually assaulting woman, it seemed almost cruel to send her into the debate with him, but Clinton combated his rambling and dodging by staying calm and demonstrating her vast knowledge about complicated subjects. LGBT Twitter responded to the debate in real time, Hilariously calling out Trump for lying, sniffing, and lurking behind her, and lauding Clinton's deft responses to tricky questions. See their tweets below:
