Trump came unglued in the third and final debate. My colleague Tommy Christopher covered the wild and woolly proceedings:
Trump has been toying with the idea of claiming a rigged election if he loses, but at the third and final presidential debate, he flatly refused to say he would recognize the results of the November 8 election. And that was just one of several disqualifying statements from the Republican candidate.
The contrast between the two candidates was apparent in each of the three debates, but perhaps most striking in the third. Clinton was the picture of poise and dignity, Trump no better than a pouting child.
American voters now know the choice before them is between a president and a childish bully with a tenuous grasp of the facts and a dangerous lack of self-control.
