Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump faced off again on Sunday for the second presidential debate. To help us determine who prevailed we enlisted the help of three of our political writers and columnists to act as judges. Each judge scored every round with a win, lose or draw. And each declared a winner at the end. Follow our debate coverage on Trail Guide.
