These were topics that were discussed amongst my classmates: At the end of the debate, what non verbal actions did dem. candidate Hilary Clinton display? what non verbal actions did rep. candidate Donald Trump display? What did each candidate use as a persuasive technique? What kind of persuasive techniques did each/ either candidate use, which can be classified as misleading?

It's a little bit far fetched with our elected presidential candidates. I'm still undecided in ways and on topics but the debate has helped me on a small level of who sounded like someone I would want to speak for this country but it's still leaves me unsure . I have spoken to family and friends alike who have the same thoughts that I have. Guess we will see soon.

I trust bloggers and news sources the most for information. I do not post political arguments myself or tell people who I'm voting for. Often I will ask, in person, a colleague or friend if s/he is registered to vote or watched a debate, to see if s/he is engaged with the process.

I generally keep my choice private unless speaking privately with close family members.

I usually go on Facebook and state who I am supporting.

I am actually frightened about what will happen to our country if either of these candidates get elected!

I talk to family and friends about the election. I watch the debates and mostly my local news channel and CNN but I make up my mind based on answers and behaviors I see in the debates. I have no problem with them telling me they're voting for someone else. If they're the type of people that are willing to discuss reasons for who we support I will but I know a few dead set on their candidate who won't have a reasonable discussion so other than saying who we're voting for we don't discuss. I'm a registered independent because I believe we should be open minded to choices but I respect other's right to choose someone else. I do feel very strongly we have one candidate who should not be President but I don't push it because I've learned with those people they feel just as strongly the other way and it only leads to family drama and stress.

I try not to discuss the election in person or on social media at all. I feel that it only leads to heaps of trouble. My friends and family know exactly who I am voting for and if a friend tells me they are voting for someone else, I just feel it is their prerogative and I don't try to persuade them to my views nor do they they try to sway me to theirs. I listen to the media and watch the debates to get my news and I really don't trust any sources. It's all a matter of opinion anyway.

I rarely discuss the election unless I am speaking with people who feel the same way as I do. I do not discuss on social media at all. I do not say who I am voting for as I do not like my choices. I am going with my gut as again my choices are not the greatest.

I find that I really can't talk about the upcoming election because everyone is so highly opinionated about it. There seems to be no worthwhile discussion about the candidates or the issues. Everyone has already made up their minds.

I limit my discussion of politics only to close family...I do not want the whole world, and potential employers, to know of my political affiliations.

We don't discuss any politics with any family or friends. It seems this election with our peeps that they feel super strongly about whom they would vote for. So we are just keeping quite.
