The final faceoff between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump reached 71.6 million television viewers, meaning two of the three most-watched presidential debates in history occurred during this campaign.

The debate from Las Vegas, moderated by Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace, exceeded the 66.5 million people who watched the second debate. The first time these two candidates met on stage in September, the audience of 84 million set a viewership record, the Nielsen company said. …

As long as enough people realized how much of a liar Hillary is and saw her smiling at Muslim atrocities...

[TigerLikesRooster]

I thought that the viewership had topped at the last debate, expecting less for the last one. I guess I was wrong.

[Anti-Hillary]

Good! For the squishy middle I thought it was his best performance. He was nothing like the media portrays him. Cool calm and presidential. And she was obviously lying and went to a place no one believes in. Partial birth abortion. notice how the media is not talking about Trumps abortion views as being “extreme”? And actually compared to past candidates, by the medias standards he was and they don’t want to get near it. They know it is toxic soup. She cratered last night.

For the first time in my life I finally witnessed a Republican candidate with the nuts to put the democrat on the defensive on abortion! I have been screaming this for years...make them defend partial birth abortion. He described it. Masterful, Donald. Thank you!

[AndyTheBear]

Nice. I am encouraged because I think trump helped himself. He came off looking more controlled, more aware of issues, and more real about issues than the narrative against him. Also he brilliantly linked the sex accuser stuff to the Clinton campaign paying people to attack his rallies which of course means the O’Keefe videos are now a relevant topic in any smear against him now.

[ZagFan]

I wish Trump would have taken it even further.

The Dems always say it should not be a political issue, it’s something that should be between a doctor and the woman. No regulations? No laws? The taking of innocent human life, even at nine months, should go unchecked? Tattoo parlors jump through more hoops.

[trebb]

And if the rallies are any indicator, over 60 million of them watched because of Trump....
