Election 2016
Candidates offer vastly different views on abortion, gun rights, immigration, Supreme Court
LAS VEGAS—Donald Trump refused Wednesday to commit to respecting the results of the presidential election if his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton wins, hinting at a challenge to one of the longtime traditions of American democracy.
“I will tell you at the time. I will keep you in suspense,” the Republican nominee said here at the third and final presidential debate. “That’s horrifying,” Mrs. Clinton replied. “That is not the way our democracy works.”
The debate at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas was a chance for Mr. Trump to regain momentum in the presidential race, which national and battleground state polls show Mrs. Clinton leading. But the evening’s most striking moment came when moderator Chris Wallace asked if the GOP nominee would follow the guidance of his running mate Mike Pence and his daughter, Ivanka, and support the winner even if it wasn’t him.
Mr. Trump demurred, and said Mrs. Clinton’s very candidacy was proof of conspiracy against him, citing her improper use of private email as secretary of state. “She should not be allowed to run. Just in that respect, I say it’s rigged,” he said.
Reaction was swift, and negative, from some quarters. “If he loses it will not be because the system is ‘rigged,’ but because he failed as a candidate,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), who competed with Mr. Trump in the GOP primaries.
The debate started with a more measured tone compared with their first two showdowns, as Mr. Trump sought to present a more presidential posture that could reassure wavering Republicans and independents about his candidacy. He and Mrs. Clinton offered differing visions over social, economic and foreign policy, and attacked one another harshly over their personal conduct.
Mrs. Clinton pointed to his complaints about his defeat in the Iowa primary, the lawsuit against Trump University and losing an Emmy for his reality TV show. “Every time Donald thinks things are not going in his direction, he claims whatever it is, is rigged against him,” she said.
Mr. Trump’s response to the query differed from the one he gave in the first debate. “If she wins, I will absolutely support her,” he said then, though he added that he doubted she would win. The differing answers reflect the contours of the race over the course of the three presidential debates. At that time, polls were tighter and Mr. Trump was seen as having momentum. Since the first face-off in New York, the advantage has shifted to Mrs. Clinton, giving her a double-digit lead in several national polls.
The bitterness that has developed in recent weeks between the two camps spilled over toward the end of the debate, when Mr. Trump interrupted Mrs. Clinton and called her “such a nasty woman.”
The election has featured scant discussion over social issues, but Mr. Wallace put these matters on the table at the start with a discussion over the Supreme Court, a timely matter given that a vacancy currently on the court.
Mr. Trump promised he would appoint justices who would overturn the Roe v. Wade abortion decision and protect gun rights. “They will have a conservative bent,” he said. “I will be appointing pro-life judges.”
Mrs. Clinton said she would choose justices who would protect abortion rights, same-sex marriage and overturn Citizens United, which removed limits on corporate and union spending in elections. “The Supreme Court needs to stand on the side of the American people, not on the side of the powerful corporations and the wealthy,” she said.
But the debate soon tilted toward the personal attacks that have dominated this presidential contest. Mrs. Clinton accused Mr. Trump of being a “puppet” of Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom she tied to the hack of her campaign chairman’s personal email account. “No puppet,” Mr. Trump shot back at Mrs. Clinton. “You’re the puppet.”
“It’s pretty clear that you won’t admit that the Russians engaged in cyberattacks, that you encouraged spying against our people, that you are willing to spout the Putin line,” Mrs. Clinton said.
“She has no idea,” Mr. Trump said. “Putin has outsmarted her at every step of the way.”
On immigration, Mr. Trump emphasized border security, and the wall he wants to build on the southern border. “We have no country if we have no border,” he said. He accused Mrs. Clinton of supporting “amnesty” for those in the country illegally.
Mrs. Clinton said she voted when she was in the Senate for border security as part of a larger immigration package, but wants to give safe harbor to illegal immigrant already living in the U.S. “I don’t want to rip families apart. I don’t want to be sending parents away from children,” she said. “I don’t want to see the deportation force that Donald has talked about in action in our country.”
On the economy, Mrs. Clinton offered a positive vision, something her advisers saw as an imperative for her going into the debate. She promised the “biggest jobs program since World War II” by investing in infrastructure and advanced manufacturing. She said she would increase the minimum wage and make college “debt free” for some families.
“His whole plan is to cut taxes, give the biggest tax breaks ever to the wealthy and add $20 trillion to our debt,” she said. “It will truly be trickle-down economics.”
Mr. Trump said he wanted to “get government out of the taxes and regulations” and promised to end the North American Free Trade Agreement, the free-trade agreement with Mexico and Canada.
“We are going to cut taxes massively,” Mr. Trump said. “We are going to start the engine rolling again.”
He blamed Mrs. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, for Nafta, which Mr. Clinton signed, and for backing the pending Trans Pacific Partnership. Mrs. Clinton again vowed to oppose the Asian trade deal but moved fast to turn the trade issue against Mr. Trump, saying he had bought Chinese steel and aluminum for his buildings. Mr. Trump replied that Mrs. Clinton had been in office for 30 years and asked why she didn’t “make it impossible for me to do that.”
“He goes around with crocodile tears about how terrible it is, but he has given jobs to Chinese steelworkers, not American steelworkers,” Mrs. Clinton said.
The former secretary of state pivoted off that critique to contrast their respective careers. “When I was in the Situation Room monitoring the raid that brought Osama bin Laden to justice, he was hosting the ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ ” she said.
“I’m happy to compare my 30 years of experience, what I have done for this country, trying to help in every way I could…with your 30 years, and I will let the American people make that decision.”
Mr. Trump replied that he built a “phenomenal company.”
The question of Mr. Trump’s conduct with women again surfaced. He accused the women who have charged since the last debate that he groped or kissed them without permission of lying. “I think they want either fame or her campaign did it. I think it’s her campaign,” he said.
Mrs. Clinton replied by quoting Mr. Trump’s defense, offered at rallies, that these women weren’t attractive enough to warrant such advances.
“Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger. He goes after their dignity, their self-worth, and I don’t think there is a woman anywhere who doesn’t know what that feels like,” she said.
Leaving here after their final debate, the Democratic nominee has the upper hand heading into the home stretch, leading in many polls and enjoying a big cash advantage as the candidates concentrate on Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where both will be campaigning in the coming days, as well as Florida.
The two candidates are supposed to begin the postdebate phase of the campaign with a few jokes.
The White House contenders will reunite in New York on Thursday for the Al Smith charity dinner, where candidates traditionally poke fun at themselves and offer gracious comments to one another.
Maureen Sherry, a board member for the foundation that puts on the dinner, said candidates in past years have mixed easily even in the closing weeks of fiercely fought campaigns, including at a small private reception that precedes the televised dinner. Organizers are wondering what will happen this time.
“My hope is that they can set aside this vitriol and this terrible feeling that’s been created for each other,” she said. “Maybe something to add some levity or elegance to what has been the most horrible campaign we have witnessed in our lifetime.”
In the coming days, both candidates will campaign in Pennsylvania, a traditionally Democratic state that is must-win for Mr. Trump, and in North Carolina, a traditionally Republican state where demographic changes are shifting the electorate toward the Democrats.
Mrs. Clinton is trying to expand the presidential battleground map with a $2 million push in Arizona, where polls show a virtual tie. On Thursday, first lady Michelle Obama, one of the Democrat’s most powerful surrogates, will campaign in Phoenix.
Mr. Trump’s effort to expand his map into Wisconsin and Michigan appears to be faltering; polls show Mrs. Clinton firmly ahead in both places.
But her chances have dimmed in Iowa, where she hasn’t campaigned since September and where polls show Mr. Trump ahead. The race appears tied in Ohio, where Mr. Trump plans to campaign Thursday and Mrs. Clinton visits Friday.
