Election odds from https://electionbettingodds.com/ going into the debate are:

Clinton 81.0%
Trump 17.4%
McMullin 0.2%
Johnson 0.1%
Stein 0.1%

These don't add to 100% because they account for the small possibility that some other person could be elected.

Chris already the best moderator this year

Agree, he's doing a fine job of keeping the discussion moving.

Trump is winning by staying calm, beating expectations again, it is about expectations, people.

This is calm?

Trump is defending Putin.  This will not play well with the general public.

Everyone is getting angry, Wallace is losing control of the debate.

To be fair, he's in a pretty thankless position.

Trump's trying to go back to the previous question and not addressing the current one.  Bad debate strategy in general.

Clinton is amazingly crisp and articulate tonight.  In the first two debates she was only so-so.  Was she just sandbagging then?

Chris Wallace is doing a good job of fact checking when he needs to.

He's a terrific moderator.  I wish he'd done the other two debates.

"I should have won it" when talking about the rigged Emmy claim.  Yeah, it was funny, but it completely validated her point about his mindset.

Iran is taking over Iraq?  When did this happen?

Why did Trump call Clinton a nasty woman? What did she say to #trigger him?

She implied he will not pay the premiums or taxes.

She's masterful at setting the hook (admittedly, Trump is an easy target).

CNN commentators immediately going to Trump possibly not accepting the result of the election.

Wow, Meg Whitman was sitting right next to Chelsea.  She's going to be one of her across-the-aisle appointments, take it to the bank.

Secretary of Commerce?

Trump not accepting the results of an election is disastrous for him and will completely tank him with independent voters

This.  He was in bad shape going into this debate, but he's burned the bridge now.
