Sunday's presidential debate in St. Louis followed days of controversy for both sides of the ticket. Republicans have been distancing themselves from Donald Trump after a leaked tape showed him making lewd comments about women, and Hillary Clinton had to deal with another email leak that included details on her highly paid Wall Street speeches.
It seemed nothing was off limits during the second debate, which largely focused on candidate integrity and foreign policy. Even the undecided voters selected to ask questions during the 90-minute televised event weren't completely safe from online criticism. Here are some of the best reactions viewers posted on social media:

Jerry Springer offered his assistance:
While I may not be able to moderate a debate, sounds like Mike Pence and Donald Trump might need to come on my show to talk things out.
