making news in america this morning, a final face-off. the presidential nominees were

those people i don't know those people. i have a feeling how they came and i believe it was her campaign that did it. >> reporter: clinton hit back. >> had a number of big rallies where he said that he could not possibly have done those things. >> nobody has more respect for women than i do, nobody. nobody has more respect. >> please, everybody. >> reporter: russian president vladimir putin -- >> rather have a puppet as president of the united states -- >> reporter: they debated

abortion. sharp differences. >> i am pro-life and i will be appointing pro-life judges. >> i strongly support roe v. wade which guarantees a constitutional right to a woman. >> reporter: on other issues they went straight for the jugular, immigration, for instance. >> when it comes to the wall that donald talks about building he went to mexico, had a meeting with the mexican president. didn't even raise it. he choked. >> we're going to secure the border and once the border is secured at a later date we'll make a determination as to the rest but we have some bad ombres here and we'll get them out. >> reporter: he tried to hughes leaked e-mails from clinton's own campaign manager against her. >> john podesta said you have terrible instincts. bernie sanders said you have bad judgment. i agree with both. >> reporter: an astonishing moment. he refused to say whether he'll accept the results of election.

>> i will look at it at the time. i'm not looking at anything now. >> are you saying you're not prepared now to -- >> what i'm saying, i will tell you at the time. i'll keep you in suspense. >> well, chris, let me respond that because that's horrifying. >> reporter: trump accused clinton of conspiring with the media against him. >> she shouldn't be allowed to run -- it's crook -- she's guilty of a very, very serious crime. she should not be allowed to run and just in that respect i say it's rigged. >> reporter: clinton suggested trump is just a sore loser by nature. >> there was even a time when he didn't get an emmy for his tv program three years in a row and he started tweeting that the emmys were rigged again. >> should have gotten it. >> this is a mind-set. this is how donald thinks. and it's funny but it's also really troubling. >> reporter: david wright, abc

news, new york. >> who knew that the emmys would make the presidential debate. >> i did not know that. >> we should mention trump landed in ohio and sent out a tweet saying he's honored to win the final debate. let's take a closer look at two of the biggest moments that are making headlines this morning. >> abc's maggie rulli is live in washington for us. maggie, let's start with him refusing to say whether or not he wo electio yeah, that moment being historically the peaceful transition of power and acceptance of election results are seen as a fundamental aspect of our constitution and democracy. senator harry reid calling immediately after the debate rnc chair reince priebus said he would accept the results and his running mate said they would accept the results. >> maggie, for some time overnight the term bad hombres was a trend. the general reaction to it right

now. >> reporter: well, it mans man but the way trump used the word and being called by many could be interpreted as offensive or derogatory and we're hearing from latinos would say they were disgusted by trump using the word and as you mentioned overnight that lit up social media becoming one of the most talked about moments from last night's debate, kendis and diane. >> all right, and they are scheduled to appear at an event again together. but no debate happening there. hopefully they will keep the peace. maggie rulli, live in washington. >> that event in new york city tonight, meant to last. after the debate clinton said she was relieved and very grateful. >> before heading back to new york she made a surprise appearance at a post-debate watch party joined by her husband and 5,000 supporters cheering her on. >> we are a better country than donald trump is.

there are so many, so many things he says, does that i do not believe, that i think are wrong, and i try to stand up against those today. >> clinton's campaign is also calling trump's performance erratic saying he's a bad loser and didn't respect the democratic process. >> before he landed in ohio, trump took to twitter describing the debate as exciting. he said he made all of his points and declared himself the winner. >> i didn't hear much new from her today. i saw a lot of defense and i think tonight what donald trump proved, tom s. that not all experience is good experience. if you've been there for 30 years and yet you had millions in poverty and millions with no health insurance and is so much unfinished business. >> she also went on to tell our tom llamas that donald trump will accept the results of the election because he's going to win. >> according to polls trump did need a boost last night. the big question is did he get

it? >> abc news political director rick klein tells us how the nominees stacked up. rick, good morning. >> reporter: diane and kendis, donald trump needed a big moment and he got it. just the wrong kind of moment for the campaign turnaround he needs right now. a singular moment in the debate history when he said he would not necessarily respect the election results even his own campaign supporters are questioning that very aggressively. all in all, hillary clinton prosecuted the case against donald trump. needling him, productling him much like the first debate and walking away with a more and concise victory. able to make that case and leave him in a flustered position when trying to explain his past comments and trying to explain his policy positions but it seemed like a debate in an election already kind of over. both candidates weary of each other and donald trump walking away without the game changer.

>> twitter and facebook feeds were completely filled with debate moments. >> yeah, the moment that received the most tweets when trump discussed his treatment of women. the top moment discussed on facebook when trump and moderator chris wallace clashed on trump's statements on aleppo. >> according to google the most searched question during the ambassador what is roe versus wa wa wade? virgin american flight. nearly every passenger with the debate on their screen. e straggler. >> one straggler there. the caption there, democra
