Ugh, where do we even begin?

Tonight's presidential debate was held in at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and ABC News’ Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper served as co-moderators. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump didn't shake hands at the beginning and they butted heads a number of times, about the leaked tapes in which Trump makes a number of disgusting comments about women, foreign policy and the fact that Trump didn't pay taxes for a number of years.

While there were some ugly moments, the debate ended on a slightly nicer note. Participant Karl Becker asked what the two candidates admired about each other, and it drew some laughs from the crowd.

“Well, I certainly will [answer the question], because I think that’s a very fair and important question,” Clinton said. “Look I respect his children. His children are incredibly able and devoted and I think that says a lot about Donald. I don’t agree with nearly anything else he says or does, but I do respect that. And I think that is something that as a mother and a grandmother is very important to me.”

“I consider her statement about my children to be a very nice compliment,” Trump replied. “I don’t know if it was meant to be a compliment, but I’m very proud of my children, and they’ve done a wonderful job and they’ve been wonderful, wonderful kids, so I consider that a compliment. I will say this about Hillary: She doesn’t quit. She doesn’t give up. I respect that. I tell it like it is. She’s a fighter, I disagree with much of what she’s fighting for, I do disagree with her judgment in many cases, but she does fight hard and she doesn’t quit and she doesn’t give up and I consider that to be a very good trait.”

Meanwhile, celebs took to social media to share their thoughts, and they covered everything from the tapes to the fact that Trump was creepily hovering behind Clinton for most of the night:










In other news, Melania Trump reportedly refused to do a joint TV appearance with her husband after the tape leaked. A number of media outlets were trying to coordinate an interview with the two, and though negotiations for the interview were moving ahead without Melania, as soon as former Access Hollywood host Nancy O'Dell weighed in, they were quickly quashed. After bragging about how he tried to "f***" O'Dell, Trump famously went on to say that his "star" status (LOL) gave him the right to grab women "by the p****."

"Politics aside, I'm saddened that these comments still exist in our society at all," she said in a statement. "When I heard the comments yesterday, it was disappointing to hear such objectification of women ... As a woman who has worked very hard to establish her career, and as a mom, I feel I must speak out with the hope that as a society, we will always strive to be better."

For her part, Melania released a statement on Saturday. "The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me," she said. "This does not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader. I hope people will accept his apology, as I have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the world." Trump's daughter Ivanka has yet to speak about the remarks...
