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
Well, we are all self-deluded.
What sets us straight is a good finger on the pulse of the populace, or some other profound insight.
God can provide laser clarity.
Doesn’t matter to me who wins but rather who is right.
Hoping Trump takes it and burns the house down.

The Plantation always needs new blood!

By comparison, Wallace did well.
But not as well as I would have wished.
For a guy “religious” people are having a hard time supporting, I have for the first time in my life seen the republican candidate put the democrat on the defensive on abortion! It was beautiful to see Donald peg her on supporting partial birth abortion. I gave him an applause from my couch! Thank you Donald Trump! What courage!
Trump won by a mile.
Trump wiped the floor with her.
Trumps reticence to accept the outcome of the election is all that people will talk about. Rightly or not, that’s what they’ll latch on to.
He won but it wasn’t by a lot. His biggest boost was that it was a debate on substance. His poll numbers only drop when talking about sideshow bullshit. I think the video outrage will fade in the coming weeks and redound to his benefit. NBC is probably going to end up wishing they held back the video longer.
Looks like most people agree Trump won. The debate is over just by how much. Impartial observers I know saying Trump won big league.
Credit where it’s due: Wallace put that on a tee for him with the late term question
He won, but I don’t understand why he didn’t attack her like he did in the second debate. Also, how about mentioning Benghazi when she mentions Bin Laden?
To get the cuck vote. He needed to play it "reasonable" and "in control."
And yet there are polls after polls saying that Hilliary won. Gee I wonder how that happened?
Clinton won the CNN and YouGov flash polls by only ten, when she won them by like 20-something points after debates one and two. Pretty sharp drop.
I still say his best answer to that was, “Like Al Gore accepted Bush’s victory in 2000?”
“Don’t worry, I couldn’t do any worse than your side on the issue.”
I really thought Trump slapped her with the, You talk and talk to Latinos and African Americans and then say, “See you in four years...”
I think what is obvious is that Hillary is a schemer who does not really care about Americans, and Trump loves people, especially Americans.
People sense this.
Hillary has a lifetime of talking.
Trump has a lifetime of doing.
Hillary is trying to manipulate her way into the white house, using lies, dirty tricks, and even violence.
Trump is trying to cut through the clutter of liberal media control to communicate a real plan of action FOR AMERICA rather than for politicians and political insiders.
Bottom line: people are seeing through the media deception. Hillary has no real enthusiasm behind her, and they just cannot manufacture it no matter what they try. Trump, on the other hand, has a huge groundswell of support.
Trump could have hit it out of the park when questioned about his deductions if he had mentioned the Clinton’s even took a deduction for donating Bill’s underwear to charity.
If (when) there’s fraud he’d better gear up the legal team.
meh....Wallace being the best moderator of the election cycle just shows the pathetic condition of most journalists
So glad you are having a cranky evening
