Senator John McCain of Arizona, who lost the 2008 presidential election to Obama, said accepting the election result was “the American way”.

Clinton’s often-lawyerly and halting answers during all three debates could foreshadow challenges ahead should she win the election and face the task of reassuring a skeptical American public and courting a potentially hostile Republican-led Congress.
“I will tell you at the time”. Trump’s insane claim in last night’s debate that they “are going to go up over 100 percent” gives us this from the AP; an actual fact check on premium hikes.
“I certainly expect that the dinner will be what it’s always been: an opportunity for two candidates to put aside partisan politics for the evening”, said Joseph Zwilling, the spokesman for the Archdiocese of NY, which hosts the dinner. Even some of Trump’s most ardent supporters felt it was a step over the line. What constitutes a questionable result was left unmentioned. But if he did go down that road after Election Day, and raised hell about a “rigged” election being stolen from him, would Republicans even follow him? You know, I heard one candidate last night talking about the Senate needing to do its job right now to recognize that there is a nominee pending for that vacancy: Merrick Garland.
TRUMP: We’re in very serious trouble, because we have a country with tremendous numbers of nuclear warheads - 1,800, by the way - where they expanded and we didn’t, 1,800 nuclear warheads.
When Clinton called Trump a Putin puppet, he unraveled, once more proving how malleable he is with anyone from Vladimir Putin to Clinton, who either praises him or pokes him.
Biden added that Trump’s assertion in Wednesday’s debate that the USA doesn’t know who is behind the hacks of the Clinton campaign emails undermines the legitimacy of US intelligence officials.
There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Another feminist hot topic came up later, in connection with the release of a tape with Trump’s bragging about sexual assault – and all the women who have since stepped forward and claimed they have been on the receiving end of the very behavior he bragged about.
Trump then pointed to the 2000 election between Al Gore and George W. Bush and the U.S. Supreme Court case Bush v. Gore, in which the justices decided, 5-4, to halt the manual recount of almost 6 million votes in Florida. Yet Pew and other elections experts note that these invalid registrations are caused by clerical error and outdated databases, and that cases of people actually casting ballots illegally are exceedingly rare.
If Clinton wins the White House, she will enter as one of the least popular first-term presidents in generations.
Just before Trump said that, Clinton seemed to get under his skin. Moreover, 92 percent of Trump supporters back the proposal for a wall on the Mexican border, while 71 percent of Democrats oppose the wall. That exchange underscored, as Clinton said, agreeing with her primary opponent, Vermont Sen. “She should not be allowed to run”, Trump said, of his rival, pointing to no crime.
Hillary Clinton received a pointed question during the final debate that echoed a criticism she has faced for months: Was her family’s global charity a “pay-to-play” arrangement in which donors got special favors from her State Department?
It is highly unlikely that either position would do anything to seriously tackle the staggering problem of gun violence in the US. It is clear that there has been some degree of meddling in the USA elections process.
Trump’s comments did not worry his supporters.
As for Clinton accusing the Kremlin, he said regardless of who was involved in the hacking, “it is in the best interest of the Clinton campaign to try to draw attention away from the content of the various emails, and they will be happy to do that in whatever fashion they can”, Lark added. Over the course of three debates, questions about personal characteristics still outweighed those on other issues, but Wallace managed to bring the total proportion closer to historical norms.

CBS News said 35 percent of people who responded to the poll identified as Democrats, while 28 percent said they identified as Republicans and 35 percent identified as Independents. With polls showing him down big right now, Trump has taken to alleging massive yet-to-happen voter fraud and a media conspiracy against him. “He goes after their dignity, their self worth”.
