After the second presidential debate, the internet deemed the winner to be undecided voter Kenneth Bone, a man wearing a red Christmas sweater in the debate hall.

Bone told NBC-DFW that he's waiting until the third and final presidential debate on October 19 to decide on a candidate.
Prior to the debate Bone said he was more interested in Donald Trump, but said after Hillary Clinton's composed performance he was now keeping an open mind.
'Secretary Clinton I thought had a very impressive performance.
'I was leaning more towards Trump before but the whole experience has left me I think with more of an open mind,' he told NBC-DFW.
He told CNN that Trump's strategy of bringing up Bill Clinton was a misstep in his opinion.
However, he revealed on Monday that the debate that made him famous didn't help him choose a candidate
'I was leaning more towards Trump before but the whole experience has left me I think with more of an open mind,' he told NBC-DFW
Bone said the debate was uncomfortable and felt a bit like watching 'mom and dad fight'
'I’ve really tried to stick to the issues but if I’m being honest I feel that was uncalled for.
'It has little to do with her [Clinton’s] ability to be president.
'If Trump wants us to forget his past behavior he needs to quit bringing up the past behavior of his political opponents,' Bone said.
Bone said the debate was uncomfortable and felt a bit like watching 'mom and dad fight'.
He also told the New York Times he was turned off by some of the more personal attacks.
When asked which personal attacks bothered him the most, he said that although both candidates were guilty 'Mr. Trump did a lot more of the talking over and the personal attacks'.
Bone said he felt like Trump flung more personal attacks, like the one aimed at Bill Clinton, was a misstep to him
Bone told NBC-DFW that he's waiting until the third and final presidential debate on October 19 to decide on a candidate
'I would have liked to see less of that and more on the issues,' he added.
But he said in the end he felt the candidates were able to get in some substantive answers.
Bone played an integral part of Sunday night's debate by asking a question unrelated to the lewd comments or private email servers plaguing both candidate's campaigns.
'What steps will your energy policy take to meet our energy needs while at the same time remaining environmentally friendly and minimizing job loss for fossil power plant workers?' Bone asked as the debate neared its end.
Bone, who said he works in coal fired electricity said the question was near to his heart and important to his community.
'We have a lot of coal workers in power and coal mining and the perception is we're putting money ahead of the environment, and that's not true,' he told NBC-DFW.
