About 50 students from Tonopah Hall packed into a meeting room Wednesday night, Donald Trump piñata dangling in the corner and donkey silhouette cutouts hanging from red, white, and blue streamers, to watch the UNLV Presidential Debate.
Amid the standing-room-only, politics-themed party, these civics-savvy students multitasked on their phones and laptops while the debate, happening just yards away at the Thomas & Mack Center, played out on a television hanging on the wall.
Over the course of an hour and a half, the candidates sparred. Here are the lines that got the Tonopah crowd vocal — on a scale from mild murmers to throaty shouts:
Trump: “They don’t want ISIS but they have other things because we are backing rebels. We don’t know who the rebels are. We are giving them lots of money, lots of everything. We don’t know who the rebels are.” Students: “RE-BELS! RE-BELS! RE-BELS!”
