Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images Congrats, America. We made it. Debate season for the 2016 election is finally over. (Now we just have to get to November 8 without imploding.) The third and


final debate of the season was held on Wednesday evening at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Moderated by Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton squared off for


yet another 90 minutes. In case you missed out or decided your time would be better spent doing just about anything else, here’s everything you missed during Wednesday night’s festivities,

future" > FUCKING > DUH > DRESS FOR THE JOB YOU WANT > — Casey Johnston (@caseyjohnston) October 20, 2016 Donald Trump kicked things off with a fairly reserved vibe, though


this quickly went by the wayside, particularly considering his need to mutter “wrong” into his microphone with increasing frequency throughout the evening, and his comments about Putin. >

> obliquely touched on climate change was Ken Bone's. > — Alec MacGillis (@AlecMacGillis) October 20, 2016 A question about border control prompted Trump to mention the many “bad


hombres” he believes are currently at large in the United States. Which then inspired everyone to make the same bad jokes about a homonymic hairstyle. > Bad ombres. #debate 


pic.twitter.com/qqWeOwra9z > — Mikey Nicholson (@Mikey_Nicholson) October 20, 2016 Trump spoke, as always, like a kid who forgot he had to make a book report in front of the class. >

 — ziwe (@ziwe) October 20, 2016 The two candidates were once again placed in front of a screen showing a copy of the Declaration of Independence. So naturally, there were tweets. > Stay

(@ashleyfeinberg) October 20, 2016 Clinton and Trump also found time to discuss Trump’s Twitter rage from that time he lost an Emmy in 2005 to _The Amazing Race. _(He still contests that the


television competition was rigged.) > The Emmys are NOT rigged. @VeepHBO @HillaryClinton @realDonaldTrump > #debatenight > — Julia Louis-Dreyfus (@OfficialJLD) October 20, 2016


When confronted with the growing list of accusations of sexual assault and harassment being lodged against him, Trump did little to directly answer the question. Instead, he offered only a


charming and very believable statement about his high level of respect for women. > "Nobody respects women more than I do." pic.twitter.com/jH63khxNqu > — andi zeisler 


(@andizeisler) October 20, 2016 Trump also had some excellent sound bites regarding mysterious tapes from the Clinton camp, filling Supreme Court vacancies, and the fact that if he loses the


election he will need to assess “at the time” whether or not it was a fair result. Oh, and he also referred to Clinton as a “nasty woman.” > pic.twitter.com/y7Dpmsnmxp > — derek

 for saying the "nasty woman" > comment was a "violent assault on a woman on national tv"?? > — fran hoepfner (@franhoepfner) October 20, 2016 And then, just a


painful hour and a half later, it was finally time to wrap things up and talk to family. > Feel bad for Trump's sons, they've been outsmarted by the ragtag > band of kids
