Throughout the 2016 Presidential Election, we have had brutal competition, especially with our two final candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The second presidential debate just about a week and a half ago was probably the nastiest debate in history, with very personal attacks, constant interrupting, judgement and cruel comebacks.

The third and final debate trailed off of politics and into personal attacks last night, this should not be anything new to see between both parties due to the fact that Trump and Clinton are known for constantly trying to bash one another in. Clinton’s opinion polls have been increasing, so you could just imagine the amount of pressure that Trump was under to put a stop to her polls increasing even more after last night.  Once the issues with Russia came into conversation, Clinton stated that Trump would be “a puppet” of President Vladimir Putin if elected president. He responded by trying to insult Clinton with the same insult, he constantly repeated, “No you’re the puppet… you’re the puppet”. This started the war of personal insults all over again.

He lashed out several times after that, saying that “she’s been proven to be a liar in so many different ways” and talking about how she was never put in jail for a serious federal crime. Clinton tried to back herself up by stating that the FBI did their search and looked into the emails, but once again Trump came back at her with, “Where has the FBI gone?”. This was basically another way of saying, “The FBI obviously isn’t doing their job if you are not in jail”. By the end of the debate, Trump had called Clinton “Such a nasty woman” once she had started to taunt him about Social Security.

Unfortunately, Trump left the country on edge with his “suspense” once he gave his reply when asked if he will accept the election results if he is not elected.  Trump was asked twice about the election results and both times he refused to say that he would accept not being elected.  Trump followed this by saying, “I will look at it at the time…I will keep you in suspense.”  Clinton then carried on by insisting that, “He is denigrating. He is talking down our democracy.” Clinton was stating that  Trump’s remark, wasn’t just something to worry about but that he was unfairly criticizing our country. What is Donald Trump capable of doing if he doesn’t like the results of this election? And, will the country be able to come together under Clinton’s leadership if she is elected?
