Election, but that he is reserving his right to challenge a close outcome. Also on his agenda, his campaign did this after the first debate, they did this after the second debate, the Trump Campaign claiming victory after last nights debate. Donald trump clearly won the debate. That was Kellyanne Conways opinion, but the voters disagree. Were going to break down the numbers as to what people think the winners and losers were of the debate last night. If you missed the debate, youll have one last chance to catch both candidates on the same stage. It will be tonight at the al smith dinner. Its a favorite, longstanding dinner here in new york. Theyre supposed to poke fun at themselves, poke fun at the election, maybe poke fun at each other. You can catch that live, donald trump and Hillary Clinton maybe on the same stage for the last time. He is said to speak just a few minutes from now. He is out there campaigning for Hillary Clinton. Both he and michelle obama. The first lady is going to be in arizona. It is a red state. It was a romney state in 2012. Its a state that they believe the Clinton Campaign could pick off, and if she can pick that up, that alone could end this election. In the next hour we will listen in to when president obama starts to introduce his wife. In the meantime, that third and final president ial debate, it is now in the books. After more than a week of trench warfare, the clinton and Trump Campaign slinging accusations back and forth about scandals of the past, they had one last shot to face off on the national stage. Donald trump, that meant answering for his claim that the election is rigged against him. He said the media has it in for h him. I suggested voter fraud. He thinks voter fraud playing a role here. No evidence of that. If he wins on november 8, will he accept the result or will he cry foul . Listen. Sir, there is a tradition in this country, in fact, one of the prides of this country is the peaceful transition of power, and that no matter how hard fought a campaign is, that at the end of the campaign, the loser concedes to the winner. Im not saying youll necessarily be the loser or the winner, but the loser concedes to the winner, and the country comes together for the good of the country. I will tell you at the time. I will keep you in suspense. That answer, of course, getting headlines because it does break precedent. Weve had candidates who contested Election Results before. Certainly al gore in 2000, but a candidate refusing to say in advance of the election that he or she will honor the results. Leaders on both sides of the aisle, some in trumps party, certainly Many Democrats condemning trumps remarks this afternoon. Trump clarifying his stance. I would accept a clear election result, but i would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result. Donald trump delivered those remarks in delaware, ohio. That is where nbcs jacob rascon is. It seems his campaign did take some of that criticism into account about Donald Trumps debate answer. They are trying to revise it, refine it a bit today. Perhaps. Because in the same speech where hes making those comments, he also talked about illegal immigrants, undocumented immigrants who are able to vote, citing studies that show that, citing other studies that show he said deceased individuals who are registered to vote. He called that frightening. Then he talked about if the result is clear, and he left it open to say if there were perhaps evidence of undocumented evidence of deceased voters voting, that should be clear. He talked about Hillary Clinton saying she should not be able to run, saying shes the most crooked person to run, and he talked about a rigged election. He has not taken anything he said over the last several days about a rigged electionback. So to his supporters, nothing has changed, and really, it doesnt seem that much has changed. He put in a new line and new wording about keeping his options open to be able to have a legal challenge for a recount. But nothing else, it seems, has gone away, steve. All right. Jacob rascon in delaware, ohio. Jacob, thanks for that. The Clinton Campaign has been working since that debate to shoot down Donald Trumps statements about the legitimacy of the election. Our own kasie hunt spent the night with the team. Kasie, how is the clinton camp reacting to this . Reporter you heard clinton herself address this on her Campaign Plane late last night leaving las vegas, essentially saying there is no precedent for this, and condemning these remarks in the same way many republicans are now out doing today. John mccain among them, of course, talking about the concession he made to barack obama in 2008 and saying that it was his duty to call obama my president in the wake of that. The clinton camp, though, i think is feeling more pressure to make sure that there are absolutely no questions about the outcome of this election. Theyve always felt that this was something bigger, i would say, than your average president ial election than if they were running against jeb bush or marco rubirubio, and i k you saw this throughout this campaign. Youre seeing it intensify now. The Trump Campaign, of course, comparing the election to al gore in 2000 saying he didnt immediately concede when it was so close. But i spoke to brian in the spin room last night, and he characterized that same 2000 election this way. Take a look. If donald trump, in terms of winning the election, comes down to a single state with a margin of 336 votes or so, then hell have a case to make, and i think that was president obamas point the other day. Lets wait and see how it goes. If were ahead in all the states where were leading right now, i dont know where hell have the basis to challenge that night. Furt further more, based on the results being announced that night and republicans disowning him over these comments, im not sure there will be a lot of oxygen to support the conspiracy theory. Reporter interesting to me that brian fallon pointed to the fact that many News Agencies are likely to call this race one way or another, project the winner of the race the night of. You heard a little increased urgency, and its probably why they talk about places like arizona, potentially utah, other states that might normally be red. It might be flip this time around, steve. Kasie hunt on the clinton beat. Kasie, thanks for that. In terms of what voters think about that third and final debate last night, we have two instant polls that were conducted after it. Both show Hillary Clinton being judged the winner. First you have the cnn crc poll. It has 39 to 52 margin. That is a double digit margin for Hillary Clinton. Also we have this ugov poll. They show a 10 spread. 49 saying Hillary Clinton won the debate, 39 saying donald trump won the debate. Of all the debates weve had this year, 15 polls in total after the debate. As you see there, Hillary Clinton judged the winner in all of them, 14 of them, by a double digit margin. Its safe to say at least based upon the polling that Hillary Clinton won the debate season. For more now, i want to bring in washington posts chris. Cillizza. You see there a gif. I will cast the deciding vote for gif. So its a gif. Ive been wrong all these years. What kind of millennial am i . This is a vicious issue, i discovered today. Why did you decide to go with the gif that Hillary Clinton won . Because i think she prosecuted the case against donald trump. The most effective thing she did, stooe, was say, look, this isnt a oneoff. Its a pattern of behavior. Whether its the way he talks to women, whether its domestic policy, foreign policy. This is a pattern of behavior, that you cant just dismiss it that this is the exception, not the rule. Her argument was this is the rule. And, again, i do think that the tendency to say, well, donald trump was better, he was. Better than the donald trump of the first and second debate. That doesnt mean he was good. And, you know, i think the first 30 to 35 minutes, probably his best 30 to 35 minutes in a debate, but the next you know, it wasnt a 35minute debate. The next 60 minutes or 55 minutes, he interrupted her, such a nasty woman comment. I think he reverted back to the trump of the first and second debates, and that is a far less effective trump. Just add one other thing, steve. He needed to do something to begin moving the ship in a different direction, the ship of state, right, the ship of this election. It was always a big task. Its hard to do. She is a very solid debater. Never spectacular, but solid. He didnt do that. Nothing that came out of that debate is going to steer this election in a way its not currently going, and thats bad for him. In terms of the Bigger Picture, too, not just the president ial election, but were talking about the senate, were talking about the house, were talking about the entire landscape election. All the republicans concerned the last week or two, if we want to continue the ship analogy here, all the water the ship has taken on in the last two weeks, concerned this could sink them in these races, republicans thinking about the senate, thinking about the house. How are they feeling after last night . Its interesting, a little bit divided. I thought about twothirds of the way through the debate, there was a little bit of overoptimism by republican strategists who concern themselves with down ballot races. That optimism was built on this idea that, well, he hasnt totally imploded. I do think the clip you played at the start here of the hour, the ill keep you in suspense, i think your average voter votes on that, probably not. Results are not really at the top of the mind because they havent had to be. Richard burr in North Carolina, kelly ayotte in New Hampshire. They have to again explain their nominee and explain their odd relationship in all those cases with their nominee is a bad thing. It seems to me the more toomey, burr, ayotte, any of those people are talking about donald trump in the last 19 days, the worst for them. Our senior gif correspondent. Were giving you that title from this point forward. Civil discourse is a lie. Thank you for that as always. Lets turn to unofficial adviser on the Trump Campaign. Do you have an opinion on the gif versus gip controversy . I know what gaffersr but whats a gif . Hes saying she had a great performance and she dropped the mike at the end of the performance. Hes calling the debate and he said trump came to that debate last night needing to do something at would move the ship. He was down, he needed something dramatic. It didnt happen, he says. Do you agree with that . I think trump scored a lot of points. I understand these polls come out. I want to see longer polls. Trump had some very strong points, right . Not one was the inartful message he spent on the election. He could have put that much differently. I dont think its a catastrophe. I think the media is overplaying it but well leave that aside. The first 20 to 30 minutes, he had hillary on the run with respect to the courts, the constitution, the lateterm abortions. I think she was really on her heels. I believe her position is absolutely extreme on the late term abortion, socalled partial birth. I think trump defended his judges. He wants more constitutionalism. I think he did very well on that. The first 20, 30 minutes, you would say, went well. Yeah. So what happened then . Well, they went on to the economy, which should have been his major, major strong point. It is the most important election issue, every poll. She didnt illuminate. I dont think he persuaded. I think he could make a much stronger case. I have heard him make a much stronger case on that. He didnt talk about the business tax cuts for large and Small Companies and how middle income wage earners will benefit from that and how all this money overseas would come back and that hillary wants to raise taxes and thats not the position. He should have said something like, you know, i have a prosperity plan, you have a recession plan. Or, as she kept repeating her tax hike promise, she said it four or five times during the debate, mr. Trump could have said, there she goes again, raising taxes. Shes going to take money out of your pocket, im going to put money in your pocket. I just feel maybe he lost some concentration. I know he knows this stuff cold. I know that, i helped work on all that stuff. It just wasnt as strong as it needed to be, and then, as you noted, it just kind of took a little bit of energy out of the presentation. Larry kudlow, we are actually going to some breaking news right now. We told you that president obama was going to be speaking down in Miami Gardens at a Hillary Clinton event. He is on stage at the podium. Lets take a listen. Weve doubled our production of clean energy. In com incomes, our rising poverty is falling. We brought our brave troops home to our families. We delivered justice to osama bin laden. Marriage equality was a reality. Weve been busy these last eight years. By every measure, our country is stronger and is more prosperous than when i came into office. But all that progress is at stake if we dont do the right thing these next 19 days. I know there are some folks who are talking about how terrible america is. But you know what, ive been to all 50 states as your president. And i see how Great America is right now. I see folks working hard, starting their own businesses. I see teachers, reaching into their own pockets to make sure our kids are getting the education that they need. I see doctors serving the poor and coming up with new cures. I see our men and women in uniform, our cops and First Responders running towards danger. Were going to keep us safe. I see the troubles of those who things dont work the way they should and call on us for their ideals. I see americans of every faith and every race and every region of the country who know that were stronger together, young and old, men and women, black, white, latino, asian, native american, people with disabilities all pledging allegiance to the red, white and blue. Thats what i see about america. Thats the america i know. That is the america i know, and there is only one candidate in this race who has devoted her life to that better america. The next president of the United States, Hillary Clinton now, hold on, hold on. Hold on. Thats one thing i love about florida. Its always a rowdy crowd. Heres the good news. You dont have to wait until november 8th to send hillary to the white house. You dont need to wait until november 8th to send Patrick Murphy to the United States senate. You can vote early, starting this monday. You can find out where to vote and at iwillvote. Com. Starting monday, you can go to the polls, and when you vote early, its not crowded. When you vote early, there are no lines. When you vote early, you can kind of do it on your lunch break. You can do it at your own leisure. You can take your time. But starting monday, you can reject somebody who proves himself unfit to be president every single day in every single way. You can reject his dark, pessimistic, earmongering of a country where we desert each other. Instead you can choose the quietest person who has ever run to run this country. You can have a country of hope, a country where we look up to one another and dont turn on each other. Thats the choice you can make starting on monday right here in south florida. Ive said this before, there is nothing that can completely prepare you for the job of being president of the United States. You know, that first day after you get sworn in and they walk in the office, then everybody leaves and youre in the office, and youre looking around thinking, man, now what . But heres the thing. Hillary clinton, shes been a first lady. Shes been a senator. Shes been my secretary of state. Shes been in the room when tough decisions were made. She knows how those decisions can affect a veteran or a soldier or a kid who needs a good education, or a worker fighting for a good job or a razor decent retirement. I will tell you, even in the middle of crisis, she is calm and cool and collected. And shes listening to people. And shes treating everybody with respect. And heres the thing about hillary no matter how tough the odds, no matter how much people try to knock her down, no matter how mean folks can be. She doesnt point fingers, she doesnt complain, she doesnt whine. She just works harder. And she gets the job done, and she never, ever, ever quits. And thats why i know she can be a great president of the United States of america and the other thing is, she actually knows what shes talking about. Shes actually done her homework. Shes got real plans to address what shes heard from you. Specific ideas to invest in new jobs, to help workers share in companies profits, to reduce inequality. Ideas to help kids have access to preschool and help students go through College Without taking on a ton of debt. She was just here in miami last week to talk about what she was going to do about Climate Change. Then she proposed a tax cut to help millions of families. She loves this stuff. Shes reading her briefing book all the time. Shes not watching tv. Shes not watching the reality tv. Shes not participating in reality tv. Shes doing the work, and thats what you want from a president of the United States of america now, she is not going to be able to do it alone, so we also have to have outstanding members of congress. And Patrick Murphy, when hes your United States senator, hes going to be
