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
Hillary lied well. She did her robot stuff ok, but she really lit up when she was able to slander Trump early in her answers before doing her robot answers on policy.
Trump was left in the difficult position of correcting the slander or talking about policy. I think he balanced it better than the other debates. He erred more on the side of getting his policy messages out and he let the slander build before hitting back with brutal honesty. Of course the downside is he was not able to address all of the slander and lies, since Hillary is a lie machine extraordinaire.
In the end I think Hilary was playing the prevent-defense to keep the Donald from scoring too many points. Her objective was to hang on rather than win, and she played it well.
Trump did score some points but not many...but I also think he may have caught the golden snitch without anybody noticing and won the election in a different way.
He wasn't trying to make Hillary look worse. He was trying to fix his own image, and I think he had more success than people realize.
He came across as somebody who wants to help the nation rather than somebody that wants to help himself. Hillary came across as a control freak that nobody really likes.

News flash, NB still can’t get over his butthurt, and is obscenely pompous when saying so.
Dog bites man.
I’m not saying he should or shouldn’t accept the results. Just that this will be the main topic of conversation coming out of the debate and it’s not a positive, winning topic for Trump.
I was at work and could not hear everything but I don’t think this debate moved the needle much if at all. One co-worker (an independent) said he thought Wallace was the best person on the stage.
I wanted so badly, when Hillary said “you’ve never apologized” to hit back with the Benghazi mother and ask her then and there to apologize to the mother to her face. It could have been devastating but Trump didn’t go there. It would have been a knockout blow.
I’m only hedging the ‘if’ based on discovery. I’m sure it’s happening right now.
Wallace, the son of Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame who helped Gennifer Flowers go away as a topic so Bill Clinton could become President, was caught by Wikileaks colluding with the Hillary campaign prior to this debate. Anyone thinking he was a reasonably fair moderator is really kidding themselves and missing things.
I am no fool, so I will not say this word, which you have said...
You gave your opinion.
You think so highly of your opinion, you turned it into a self-proclaimed fact.
.
The resounding view tonight is Trump won 2:1.
They may try, but I doubt they can turn it around.
.
Luntz tweeted clips of the “dials” that shows she CRATERED on answers about Clinton Foundation and her anti-Putin rant.
Trump went thru the roof when he called out the State Dept. and when he hit her on corruption.
He won, and not by anywhere near “close”.
Go away you cruzbot
I can’t stand Chris Wallace and I found him completely annoying. He needs a voice transplant!
.
Attaboy!

CNN poll
Clinton won 52-39 (best showing for Trump of 3 debates)
Clinton won on economy 50-46
Trump won on immigration 50-48
Trump won on Supreme Court 49-48
There you go again.
Pray tell, what question is that?
Trump said nasty things about Roseanne Barr?
For someone who feigns being super intelligent, sometimes I wonder if you have any at all. What a majorly moronic comment.
Went to CNN to try to vote in their poll, but it was already closed with an article announcing the results way in favor of Hillary. Thought the Democrats believed in keeping things open long enough to allow the right to vote!
.
Jerks like you are going to do your best to hand Trump a loss.
.
A self proclaimed pretense of defeat that he and the nevertrumpers want so dearly to be true.
Sh*t for brains.
