If you were looking for zingers, back-and-forths and head-shaking moments at the first presidential debate Monday night, your wish was granted. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton squared off in a blistering 90 minutes that covered Trump’s tax returns, Clinton’s emails, national security, race relations and more.
As the candidates tussled, NBC’s Lester Holt, the debate’s moderator, regularly butted in with “We have to move on” and “your time is up.” There were nearly 100 million viewers across the United States, and those viewers got their fill and then some from the two major party nominees vying for the world’s highest office.
If you didn’t get a chance to watch the full 90 minutes, here were Patch’s five key moments.

When Trump and Clinton walked out onto the stage to start the debate, they shook hands, smiled and were largely cordial.

In an early exchange, Trump addressed her, saying, “Secretary Clinton? Is that OK? Good.”
The comment was immediately decried as sexist by many prominent women.
