Adam Brown Social Media Command Center complied data using a Salesforce software program to monitor online reactions to topics surrounding the First Presidential Debate of the 2020 election cycle.

So who won?
If we look at this based on substance like positive sentiment and content such as #BidenWonTheDebate (3rd most popular hashtag outside of the official debate hashtags) Biden won, he had lower negative sentiment and a coordinated message that resulted in. pic.twitter.com/YhnzC12CIp

Though both candidates can claim victory, it is pyrric in many ways. Conversation all around was polarizing and negative, and almost every topic was filled with anger, sadness, and disappointment

After 90 minutes of that, I am sure whoever watched needs a hug. pic.twitter.com/n2OI1ZIghc

This Telemundo poll touted by the Trump campaign and pro-Trump outlets was an *anyone-can-click Twitter poll,* not a scientific opinion survey like those conducted by CNN and other outlets. Telemundo explained on air that it was not scientific. pic.twitter.com/dzvhXyo2o9

According to a CBS News poll who sampled 1,039 likely voters 48 percent thought Biden won Tuesday’s debate, while 41 percent said that President Lies Make My Ego Purr won. Ten percent said they thought it was a tie.

Overall the general opinion seems to be that America lost, and that the debate was in fact a shitshow.

For What It’s Worth.

On Wednesday our sitting President via twitter called for former FBI Director James Comey to be “arrested on the spot.” Asked via another tweet when “something significant,” would happen to Comey. And said that Comey should be tried for “treason.”

Should be arrested on the spot! https://t.co/x81s8npZEF

So when will something significant happen to James Comey? Got caught cold. He is either very dumb, or one of the worst liars in political history. TOO LONG. EMBARRASSING!

The tweets were in response to Comey testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee. I’m noting them because honestly, they moved the needle zero yesterday.

That’s our new normal, since Trump won and is our President, that he as a sitting President tweets these accusations, demands even, and nobody even bats an eyelash…

Not even me…I simply ignored them…

Sad when you think about how numb we are, because in fairness, we all know, nothing would change, hell in fact, he retweeted this tweet before he said Comey should be arrested on the spot.

James Comey is a fraud. https://t.co/RHwpdLDlbh

Here's Trump's public schedule for today. "Roundtable with supporters" means fundraiser. (Public schedules don't include all of a president's activities.) pic.twitter.com/m8ilPKBr4s
