Both candidates performed well but I don't think either side won or lost the debate. They both had their good moments and bad moments but nothing major to the point that one won/lost.
I thought the moderator was overall pretty fair. There was still some left-leaning biases but for the most part, she treated each candidate fairly, gave them both ample time to respond to each other, didn't interrupt, fact check, nor debate the candidates. Probably the best Trump could've asked for from a non-conservative moderator.
Most of what I saw from folks on the left was a lot of complaining about the moderator allowing Trump to consistently barge in to get the last word and not checking that when it should have been checked.
I don't know, though, because I didn't watch it. I had just gotten home from teaching some Scouts about our government for their Citizenship in the Nation merit badge and I was feeling too good about civics to bring myself down with the circus.
