Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump met again for the third and final presidential debate at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Per usual, Twitter was erupting with equal parts smart, quick, and hilarious commentary. Below, we've rounded up some of the best tweets from the debate.
The initial nervousness was widespread.
Feeling like we as a country collectively owe @HillaryClinton like a fruit basket or something for having to tolerate this #DebateHeadache

Clinton's white suit seemed familiar to many.
I see @HillaryClinton is in the power white suit from the DNC.

The first question of the evening focused on the Supreme Court and the appointment of justices . . .
20 justices. The most justices. Tremendous justices. The justiciest justices that will ever justiced. #debatenight

. . . Which led to a conversation about women's rights.
Honestly Trump shouldn't even be allowed to be in the same room while Hillary makes this nuanced and empathetic an argument about abortion.

If someone makes it to the 9th month of pregnancy, I assure you, the mother WANTED that baby. Sometimes abortion isn't EASY. #debatenight

Clinton quoted Trump back to himself in a particularly heated moment.
Does Donald realize that saying "You're not going to find a quote from me" is an invitation for oppo researchers to find the quote ASAP

"I'm 👏🏾 just 👏🏾 quoting 👏🏾 you 👏🏾" #debatenight

Things got tense when moderator Chris Wallace asked about the ongoing sexual assault allegations against Trump.

"debunk" is an actual word with a meaning and it does not apply here nothing has been "debunked"

"I didn't even apologize to my wife." Uh huh. She's got something for you on November 9.
— roxane gay (@rgay) October 20, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump says he didn't apologize 2 his wife because he "didn't do anything." His wife told @AC360 that he did apologize! #debate

Chris Wallace just had to silence the audience from laughing at Trump saying "No one has more respect for women than me."
— Colin Jost (@ColinJost) October 20, 2016
Wallace then asked Trump if he thought the election was "rigged."
Chris Wallace: Will you accept the election results?
Trump: "I will look at it at the time."
That sounds like a NO to us. #debate— Salon (@Salon) October 20, 2016

Overall, it was pretty much just like any other debate this election.
This election's most winning quality is that there's less of it left than ever.
