    Just when I felt Trump had done well on the foreign policy topics he leans in on the middle of Hillary talking and "such a nasty woman." Leans back, looks stern.

    Not the best idea after starting the debate "Guns, guns, fuck women's rights". This is the GENERAL election, Trump. You literally could have taken a question about the supreme court and constitution any direction you wanted.

    I actually thought he won this one on substance, but it's not going to matter.

    It's certainly Trumps Reality Show now, has been for awhile.

    His concession speach will be something to see. If he has the balls to give one.

    That sound you hear are all the GOP downticket candidates collectively shitting themselves.

    You won't accept the result of the election? Who the hell are you?

    A legend in his own mind.

    A man who in his own mind controls the country even though, you know, he lost?

    The man isn't remotely fit to serve as president.

    This shows you the stubbornness of political belief. Go on any social media site and everyone voting Trump thinks he is winning this debate. He doesn't need to know how to fucking TALK. Everyone always thinks their team wins. However, this time it's pretty much Booya who is losing.

    Did it honestly take this long for people to say "Wait a minute... is he an idiot?"

    That's the longest I've stomached a debate, it wasn't long. It's like watching a really shitty comedian bomb on stage, then the main act comes out and sucks balls too but not enough to look as bad.

    They keep bringing up the Gore/Bush election, which is a one in a century occurrence at most. You could tell he was trying to compose himself better than he had in the first two debates, but once he gets rolling he can't help himself.

    Chris Wallace: In regard to the national debt, Hillary your policies are found to bad. Donald Trump your policies are even worse. Explain yourselves.

    I liked him as a moderator. Maybe I'm just glad it's all over, but I think he did the best out of all of them.

    What scares me the most is after another 4 years of the spiral we're on now, what kind of monster is going to rise to power next election cycle?

    I think once Trump is gone, and normal, shithead politicians run for office again, it won't be like this.

    Unfortunately, even with the already existent 24-hour news cycle, I'm guessing we'll get a good inkling next summer when the honeymoon period wears off and pundits start talking about Presidential moves and actions in the context of "what does this mean for the 2018 and 2020 elections?"

    The simple fact that he's gotten as far as he has makes me think many people are severely pissed off already. I don't think 4 more years of the same old, same old is going to appease that anger.

    Loved Chris Matthews. Completely agree on him being the best moderator. He was very well prepared with his questions and was able to let Clinton/trump run when they needed to but he still stopped them when he wanted to.

    Was anyone else watching this and calling out moments you figured they're gonna mock on SNL?

    Sweet Jesus. Fox news is trying to spin it as "Well, nobody concedes the election before the results." Accept, not concede. Sigh.

    Megyn Kelly is disagreeing. Paging Dr. Trump. Maybe she has blood coming out of her where ever.

    I think it's possible there's voter fraud going on. There probably is in some toss up counties, but most of the problematic stuff is in the primary rules. The general election follows the polls almost every time, within margin of error.

    Regardless, most of this country has trusted the election results for a long time. If you think something rigged happened on election day say it then. The way he said it made him look like an angry doofus who can't accept the results of anything unless they go his way.

    The issue is that he thinks polls, the media, or anything else that compiles things based on a statistic is rigged when its not going his way. He loves them when he was winning. It was all he talked about. If he loses the election and he loses it fairly, he did not commit to accepting the result. We can reasonably assume that if he loses, he will think it was rigged. But if he wins that same election, it was fair.

    The question to me was, "If it is determined that you lost or won fairly, would you accept the result?" Thats a simple yes or no. And he didn't do it. People talking about the Al Gore situation don't seem to understand that the result was being contested by such a slim margin and because it was the law in Florida at the time. They were trying to determine the result. The moderator tonight was asking about once that result was already made.

    He loves anything and everything when it's on his side, but when something doesn't align with him, be it running mate, business partner, or poll, he does a complete 180 and bashes the shit out of it.

    And nastywomengetshitdone.com already redirects to Hillary's website. Reminds me of this from SNL:

    I don't know if Hillary's camp bought it, but that is how you turn your opponent into a joke.

    What's starting to scare me about Trump, other than the million other things that scare me about these two fuckwits, is that he's starting to talk as if he sees himself as a messianic figure. Not in a playing up his confidence kind of way, but actually believes it.

    I think Chris Wallace did an excellent job moderating and keeping the conversation at the level of discourse that it demands. Some great questions on Clinton's paid speeches and Trumps own foundation. Neither of them actually answered the question asked of them. I believe it went something like this,

    Chris Wallace: Mr. Trump, did you use funds from your foundation to settle a law suit?
    Trump: We put up an American flag.

    Chris Wallace: Secretary Clinton, you were paid $250,000 to give a speech in Brazil about open borders, correct?
    Clinton: My dream is a hemispherical world of commerce and prosperity (or something).

    Overall though, he kept both of them in check. Clinton has definitely got this in the bag. Trump saying that he might not concede the election if he loses is pretty alarming though.
