The final presidential debate of the 2016 presidential election is over and according to pollster Frank Luntz and his focus group, Trump was the winner of tonight's debate. That being said, it was close.

The other winner of the night is moderator Chris Wallace, who did an excellent job managing the candidates, asking questions and staying out of the debate as a contestant.
Chris Wallace is hands down the best moderator of the cycle, bravo #debates— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) October 20, 2016
I heard Trump won the CNN Focus Group by a margin of 10-5.
You see it. I see it. Hillary just stands up there and lies, but she does it well. She was on her game and she was ready.
I think Trump did great, but Hillary also held her own. I wish Trump would have said Hillary was about to start WWIII. I don’t know why Wallace and others continue to be in denial over Aleppo. Assad is killing terrorists. The people of Aleppo were providing aid and comfort for them.
The idea that Clinton cares about that little boy, or cares about kids gunned down in America is laughable.
He should have mentioned Gore. Gore contested the election.
When she was repeating the lies from the second debate about Trump hating everyone, especially women, he had Sean Smith’s mother in the audience and could asked Clinton why he lied to her and the rest of the Benghazi families. He missed a good chance to see her squirming. He should have asked her how can she be worth 200 million dollars when she’s never held a public sector job in her life. All these missed opportunities and he still held his own with this coached phony who smirked and grinned for 90 minutes. She’s disgusting and yes she’s nasty. She’s a nasty, mean,vile lesbian.
“Clinton won on economy 50-46”
I just threw up my coffee!!
Trump lost debate 1 and won debate 2 and 3. That formula has worked out well for Reagan and Obama in the past.
He talked about O’Keefe the election fixer. Trump was brilliant to say he wouldn’t concede the election if fraud was involved and the Wikileaks and O’Keefe videos prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that democrats rig elections.
Megyn Kelly started the lies about Trump and women. She’s a low-class liberal with no journalism experience whatsoever hired by Roger Ailes because he liked her slutty looks. For the real Megyn Kelly get ahold of the Howard Stern interview where she’s talking about the size of her husband’s penis and how he husband likes her little boobs.
I really wanted him to draw the line between Hillary saying she was “dead broke” in 2000 and now having $200m when discussing the Clinton foundation. And tie that into the speaking fees as well, which are obviously bribery. Would’ve been a good way to call back to that “dead broke” moment which was a loser for her in the media at the time.
He could have said “absent voter fraud” but he’s Trump so #### it.
Only people gonna remember it in two days are the media.
It ain’t gonna change anyone’s mind as anyone who wants him to win probably loved the answer.
This IS a very conservative website, Thank God.
One would expect it to slant in favor of our candidate.
You want completely objective news you’re gonna have to start a station, jaijin, cause they’re aint no such thing right now.
Not sure why it bothers you so much. Odd.
You simply do not get it, do you? You evidently think you can relieve the impression in the minds of tens of millions of women about Donald Trump by playing the rank misogynist against Megan Kelly. You can not, nor can Donald Trump relieve himself of the image created about his alleged misogynism against Miss. Universe by getting into the gutter with her, a fatal strategic error that even Bill Clinton never made. What Donald Trump must understand is that Bill Clinton always presented himself to be "presidential."
It does not matter what sort of person Megan Kelly is, she was not advancing an opinion which might be suspect because of the source, she was quoting Donald Trump back to him and giving him a fair opportunity to rebut or explain them. Satan himself could have quoted those words to Donald Trump and it would not have made them any less true, if they were in fact true.
It might make you feel better to defame Megan Kelly, but the voting women of America only resent it. They understand this game that only plays right into the Democrats' soiled hands.
“’What a nasty woman!’ was Trump’s knockout blow to Hillary!”
I heard that, too. It was a little off to the side but there was no problem understanding it.
I’ve never seen a candidate that has a real chance be so strong on a wall, deportation, and abortion, specifically the SC overturning it. These used to be taboo subjects. But Trump has done it and made them the foundation of his strength. He is amazing.
That’s even better
Perhaps Trumps plan was to take over the news cycle with talk about him, instead of giving the media a chance to come up with something about how Hillary is wonderful.
Kelly for one solid year has turned her program into one big bash Donald Trump. Fox runs off their credible reporters and keeps liberals like her and faggot Shepard Smith, who started crying when Obama was reelected. When the secret service agent wrote the tell-all book about the filthy talking Hillary Clinton, from first hand knowledge of working with the mean, vile crook, Megyn Kelly interviewed him, grilled him and called him a liar. Her ratings have went down the tubes since she started her war with Trump. She opens up her show blasting him. You want to know what her nightly show will be? Flip the channel to CNN or PMSNBC. She takes her cues from them. she investigates nothing about Trump. She authomatically assumes he’s guilty and has guests on to agree with her. This election has exposed Megyn Kelly for being the one-sided liberal hack that she is. She’s the main reason Fox numbers are declining.
Agree 100%.
Luntz’ group was 14 - 12 for Trump.
I agree. I didn’t keep score but could not pick a winner
The truth is that both made and continued to make solid points.
The fact that many of Hillary’s points were lies doesn’t matter. The points were made
The biggest lie was of course her face. We know why she has not been seen....... he make up crew has been at work 24/7 to make her look 40. The virginal white, flagless, pant suit was also a lie.
