I watched it on CSPAN last night, and it was cringe worthy. Trump started off pretty good, got some good laughs, and then he went into the same sort of rhetoric he has been saying on the campaign trail, which resulted int he crowd turning on him. Then came Clinton, who was more self-deprecating than Trump, who really only made one joke that could be counted as "at his own expense" IIRC (though it was really at Melania's expense), but she still was just as aggressive as him. The room received her better, likely from a combination of her jokes being better written and the room was just being friendlier towards her in general.
I was not very pleased with what happened. When you compare this to Romney and Obama four years ago, this was just terrible. A very stark contrast, for sure.
