This, the third and very last presidential debate, was for many the decisive moment whereby they decided which candidate they would vote for; for others, it was a moment of entertainment that pandered to the notorious bitterness between presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Trump refused to answer whether he would respect the outcome of the presidential election, and he averred that he would wait until November 8 to do so, disseminating great forebodings among listeners before a long American history of peaceful transfer of power, election after election. Clinton responded in “horror.” It seemed Trump would not loose the election without a fight.

Therein, Trump adduced a supposed conspiracy against him constituted by the media and even federal bureaus that“worked” in Clinton’s favor, while Clinton frequently cited Trump’s tax evasions and sexual harassment record as bad auspices. Similar claims intermittently sprinkled the rest of the night’s debate.

There were more poignant topics covered, such as abortion policy and the role of the Supreme Court. Clinton expressed that the law, the Supreme Court, should represent all groups, of all sexual and ethnic backgrounds, and she stood firmly by her support for late-term abortion under certain health circumstances.

Trump rejoined wildly in disapproval and denigrated her character, saying that, “if you go with what Hillary is saying, in the ninth month you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother.” Many in the audience howled.

On immigration, Trump proposed once more his wall and the absolute necessity of having strong borders. Clinton, too, proposed tighter border control, but she repudiated Trump’s mass deportation as unthinkable. She also charged him for using thousands of undocumented workers for his projects, while plotting to deport them.

Moreover, on the topic of foreign relations, nuclear weapons and Russia dominated the stage. Clinton believed that leaked documents regarding her campaign were a large collaboration on Vladamir Putin’s part for Trump’s campaign. She guaranteed that the Russian president had a clear favorite in the presidential race and was interested in seeing Trump in power as a dangerous “puppet” with immediate access to a nuclear arsenal.

On the refugee crisis, Trump pounced by predicting countless security crises authored by a Clinton, who to him would be too promiscuous with those she would open the country’s door. His turn of phrase was, “this is going to be the great Trojan horse,” and it was this Trojan horse that Hillary claimed as more a blessing than a danger, remembering her close experienced with immigrant families. She also alluded to the Clinton Foundation, which has assisted legal and undocumented Americans alike; whereupon, Trump challenged her to return donations made by countries with human rights abuses and attempted to showcase his very own foundation’s eleemosynary activities. Clinton returned by saying that those charitable activities would be impossible to confirm seeing that Trump hadn’t released his tax returns. Trumped fumed.

Finally, the debate neared its conclusion and candidates were given their final words. Recapitulating his campaign principles, Trump promised that he would make the country “great again” by reinvigorating the military and urban infrastructure within the economy. Clinton ended by saying the she was there primarily for families and that the American would be always first on her mind as president. The 58th quadrennial U.S. presidential election will take place on November 8, and all eligible voters are encouraged to hit the ballots to decide our next president.
