I thought this was the best debate of the three. Trump only made one slip when he would not say he would accept defeat quietly. HC was her calm smiling self making sure she didn't say something that would hurt her lead in the poles. I did notice that the commentators were a lot bias against Trump and in favour of HC. So much for impartiality of the media. It looks like HC will win but in politics, who knows. Trump is not a polished politician, HC is, Trump is Trump, what you see is what you'll get, minus any lies and smears against him, while HC is more of the same as you've had in the past and then some. It may come down to the devil you know over the devil you don't know. Scoundrels you know up front have a certain charm that make them likeable, while hidden scoundrels can be very devious and can do much harm. Nether one of them is a saint, very hard to find in politics, it is a dirty game and he/she has to get down in the mud to win. The one that can make the other one look the dirtiest will win. Does not make what should be the highest calling in the land, look very attractive. It is not a game of building yourself up but tearing your opponent down.
I don't have a vote in this election and I'm glad I don't, because it would be hard to choose the lesser of two evils. Nobody gains power without God wants them there, even Hitler served a purpose. The next four years could make or break the US, only time will tell. May you choose wisely, the world is holding its breath.

I'm going to vote for Trump. Only because Clinton is the only other viable choice.
But I thought that he did poorly last night. I agree with his jaundiced view of election returns. The same people that don't even think that an ID should be required to vote are calling him unduly paranoid. Thats like the spouse who cheats on you but tells you that you're a paranoid freak for suspecting it.
But I thought that he was clumsy in the way he voiced his suspicion. I thought the "nasty woman" comment was a gift to the Clinton campaign. I thought that he let her off on the Brazil statement. I thought he let her off regarding Bill's rape accusation. He seemed unprepared and clumsy to me.
Funny thing is....the poll that most accurately predicted the outcome of Obama Romney has Trump ahead while other polls have him down as much as 11 points.
Wierd wierd election. Wierd candidates. Wierd everything.

I'm so glad this "Clown Act" is over. Both are flawed to the core and unworthy of the office they seek. That being said... I will vote for one of them rather grudgingly. America, is this the best we can do? Must we let the "media" tell us how we have to run our elections and vote?
Hi Everett: It isn't hard for me to choose between the two. Both are downright awful. Which is the "lesser of two evils?"
I fear the next four years is going to be a debacle regardless who "wins." The American people are the losers because our system (still the best in the world) is so badly flawed with lifetime jobs for Judges, Politicians in the House and Senate who spend all their time running for office... and shipping our manufacturing jobs overseas... I could go on and on.
Those eligible, no matter which party you favor, vote as if your life depends upon it. IT DOES!

Uh, Well, As hard as I tried to listen at times it became muddled. I did hear Hillary say the people on Wall Street need to start paying their Fair Share and she is still trying to get that money for her uh, Programs. It's the same old story, right out of Vaudville, WITH YOUR MONEY AND MY BRAINS, WE WILL GO PLACES. In response Trump said, You have been here for 30 years, why didn't you do something 10 years ago? The country is in a huge mess, Trump is the only one that is trying to do something about it.

I hope people will vote for the issues and positions of the candidates and not their personalities and media portrayals. While I think both of them stink as statesmen/women, the positions they take on the issues are what is at stake.

Well, I did hear Hillary say her Economic Plan would not raise the National Debt one penny or some such nonsense.
Everybody that believes that, go stand on your head.

Trump has never accepted defeat, and he won't accept it now.
I think even life long Democrats agree that Hillary Clinton is a "nasty woman."

Aw, Well, The economic growth for the third quarter isn't in yet. Maybe the government is holding it until after the election so Hillary can win. The first quarter was .8 percent and the second quarter was 1.4 percent. Merchants are expecting a slow Holiday Spending season. With the economy at such a blistering pace who can blame them! Obama is still trying to sell us Obama Care. So what that premiums are rising faster than a F-15 Eagle. It is going to be fun for all those Hillary supporters to defend her if she get's elected. Well the News Media will have plenty of fodder to print!
Trump asked Hillary why 6 Billion is missing at the State Department. According to a report on CNN it was just a paperwork problem, missing and un completed forms and the like.
Hillary probably hired the same crew that set up the Obama Care Web site. The Keystone Cops.

I missed the first debate but it looks like Fox News said the third was the best for Trump. Trump is not a life time politician, whether that is bad or good, I don't know. He puts his foot in his mouth too many times for his own good. I always feel for the underdog, most people like to cheer for the obvious winner, over confidence is a turn off for me, be it sports or politics. Over confidence is next kin to bragging and bullying. I think, whom ever wins, it will be a turning point for the USA and the world. There must be a serious change in direction on many fronts or this world is in serious trouble. Every country has financial woes, labour unrest, weather conditions causing havoc, wars and terrorism, crime, drugs, etc. Sounds like tribulations has already started.

Trump managed to again insult mexicans, women and finally all decent law abiding citizens who believe that a peaceful transfer of office is the bedrock of our democratic experiment. Policies are critically important and the laws of our land are created in the congress. However at the top, character and the "image" of who is leading us is still critically important. Trump fails bigly on the character side and I still don't know if he knows what his policies are beyond a few soundbites.

Well, Some are going to vote their Ego and others are going to vote their Pocketbook. Do we really need an Expansion of the Welfare State?

Not accepting the vote result: If he loses, what can he do? Show up at the White House with a moving truck? No. The most he'll do is not call Hillary and congratulate her for stealing the election.
There won't be any rioting in the streets. (As there would be if he won. And half of Hollywood would move to Canada.) If there were rioting, they would pick-up after themselves and leave the streets cleaner than they found them.

Hi-Yo Silver! Hillary to the rescue! Bill, Barrack and Hillary are going to save the Empire. Bill feels your pain, Barrack is a Pain, and Hillary knows no pain. You will still be able to stay on your parents Health Plan assuming your parents have a health plan, approved by Barrack who said, IF YOU LIKE YOUR DOCTOR, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DOCTOR, IF YOU LIKE YOUR HEALTH PLAN, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HEALTH PLAN.
And you can stay in your parents basement if you can't find a job, if your parents have a basement, and you still have parents, and, well never mind.

Wowzer... folks:
We got ourselves a real pair of "doozies" to vote for. Kevin, I hope you never get to see her "nasty" side, 'cause she can be the Queen B*%#h more often than she would lead you to believe.
My sources tell me she went into a cussing tirade after one of the "debates" because someone failed to feed her a question in advance so she could be totally prepared. She could make a French Sailor blush with her colorful, un-ladylike Rodham dialect.
To be fair, Donald can be brutally blunt as well... but somewhere deep inside that seldom smiling dumbo lies a heart somewhat warmer than Saint Hillary.
I wish I had the authority to ship them both to Antarctica for humility lessons. Like Martin, I'm voting for Trump but I'm not proud of it... and I fear the worst if the current Administration stays in power.
This has been one of the most embarrassing Presidential Campaigns I've ever witnessed and I was around before Franklin Roosevelt ascended.

Ain't it Amazing, For Hillary to go thru all those narcistic loonie tunes, slings, arrows, barbs, and Bills phalendering just to save the Empire. Such sacrifice, such dedication. Same thing the Soviets tried. We don't want to re-invent the Soviet Union.

"The standard by which I now measure the things in my life is the following: If I was on my death bed, or if I knew I had a short time to live, would this issue be important? If the answer is no.. I don't sweat it at all. If the answer is Yes, you better believe it goes to the front of the order of today's business!" -Brian Austin Whitney
