Where have you been? Do you have any idea what has happened to Europe lately? Or France and UK in the past 15 years?

Spare me and others name calling…I’m not calling you names.
I’m not calling you names my friend or anyone else for that matter. Its hyperbolic speech designed to highlight my incongruity over the idea that the tiny number of Muslims in the U.S. could ever “dominate” the country.

You know, Catholics weree spoken of in not dissimilar terms once by our fundamentalist Protestant brethren, as recently as JFK’s election. We seem to have shorter memories these days.
 
My favorite post-debate comment came from conservative talk show host (and Trump supporter) Hugh Hewitt, commenting on Mr. Trump’s refusal to say that he would accept the result of the election no matter who won:

“I was prepared to say that he won 14 out of 15 rounds, but then he hit himself in the head and knocked himself out.”
 
The winner of the debate was Chris Wallace. He did a great job. I’m very happy it’s the final debate and can hardly wait for the election to be over. Enough is enough.
Not only did he do an incredible job, he absolutely embarrassed previous moderators. Step aside kids, let the expert show you how it’s done.
 
Trump’s refusal to accept the election results is chilling. Truly beyond the pale.
 
Nice spin, but he never refused. He said that he would wait and see how the election goes.
That’s the point though. He’s waiting to see what happens. Which means…?

If he wins, the election was presumably legit

If he doesn’t…
 
Compared to what in this election cycle? I think the chill has worn thin.
I do reckon that this, beyond even the assault allegations, will be viewed by history as the straw that broke the camel’s back.

HRC thinks it is horrifying because that means she must keep Wikileaks at bay longer than planned or able.

If a presidential candidate winds up seeing that his/her opponent won due to mass voter fraud, would you expect him/her to be okay with that? Would YOU be okay with the candidate that you are against winning due to mass voter fraud?

Come on, stop trying to make an issue where this is none. He said that he would wait and see how the election goes, not that he would absolutely refuse to accept her as president.

Plus, should she win fair and square and he still doesn’t accept that he lost, he can’t actually stop her from becoming president, so what is there to worry about anyway?

It really is a downward spiral for him. History will not be kind to him.

On January 20th the ultimate glass ceiling will be shattered by President Hillary Clinton.
 
Even the likes of Richard Nixon did not contest his close election defeat to JFK. I sincerely hope that Trump does not contest if he loses. He would be making a mockery of democracy if he chooses to do so, as well as a fool of himself. Hardly anyone will care very much at that point.
Sadly our democracy has already been mocked and for quite sometime according to
Wikileaks.

Absolutely best moderator performance by a mile. Put everyone else to shame. That’s how it’s done, folks. Never thought I’d say this about someone from Fox News but I call it as I see it. Nothing but respect for the guy.

I thought exactly the same.

He was phenomenal and managed to maintain objectivity, not to mention an impressive show of supreme patience as the debate quickly spiralled out of control and lost all semblance of civility.
 
Hillary Clinton now see’s Russians behind everything, and yet we should be concerned because Donald Trump won’t give a straight answer about accepting the election results 😃

I disagree. And if she wins it will be because she had lots of help - the election has been rigged in more ways than one in favor of Hillary.
 
My only lasting impression from watching the debate is that Trump has effectively handed the presidency to Clinton gift-wrapped with express delivery to the White House.

He might as well just have shown up at the auditorium with a red ribbon in his hair. He is the gift that keeps on giving to Mrs. Clinton. Like Christmas come early it must be for her…

What did he do - even once throughout that debate - to win over Independents, Dems or recalcitrant “NeverTrump” Republicans?
