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.
Who would have been a Trump leaning moderator, though? There are plenty of established Republicans who are turning away from Trump, so I'm not even sure if a conservative would favor him. It would need to be less "conservative moderator" and more "pro Trump" moderator.
