With little time left between the conclusion of Monday’s presidential debate and the late local newscasts, ABC, CBS, and NBC used the roughly 20 minutes before 11:00 p.m. Eastern to offer emotions ranging from complimenting Hillary Clinton as “pleasant” and hitting Donald Trump as “condescending” and “rude” to even wondering why Clinton’s e-mails were barely mentioned. 

Going first to NBC, former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw conceded that “[i]t was not a knockout evening” for either candidate but quickly touted Clinton for having “composure” in exhibiting “her mastery of the detail was consistent throughout and she was pleasant throughout.”
