    Donald Trump won the last of the three presidential debates in Las Vegas, according to social media.

    As the two candidates went head to head for 90 minutes onstage at the University of Nevada, it became obvious that the Republican nominee had won the Internet over.

    The IBD/TIPP tracking poll, cited as the most accurate in predicting actual results in the past three US presidential elections, are also predicting a Trump win.

    He scored higher on voter intensity, with 67% of his backers saying they strongly support him, compared with 58% of Clinton supporters who say they strongly back her.

    Trump dominated the conversation on social media on Wednesday, as Facebook stats showed last night. Some 56 percent of the conversation on Facebook centered around the Republican during the debate while Clinton stood at 44 percent.

    While Clinton does much better among women — 47% to 37% — Trump’s lead among men is as strong at 47% to 32%.

    Parents (46% to 32%), married women (44% to 41%), middleclass households (53% to 37%), and the religious prefer Trump, all groups among whom Clinton’s support never tops 38%.

    After more than a week of vicious attacks from Democrats, celebrities and the mainstream press, Donald Trump has managed to pull ahead of Hillary the latest IBD/TIPP poll showed.

    The IBD/TIPP poll that has been monitoring support for the candidates in the 2016 election on a monthly basis, and shows Trump’s best performance thus far.

    Trump outing the Clinton Foundation for accepting money from countries such as Saudi Arabia that abuse women and gays and minority groups during the debate Wednesday, proved popular with the audience.

    He called the Clinton Foundation “a criminal enterprise” with scant regard for women, taking bribes from countries with a terrible human rights record.

    “Saudi Arabia giving $25 million, Qatar, all of these countries, you check about women and women’s race — these are people that push gays off buildings. They kill women and treat women horribly, and yet you take their money,” Trump pointed out.

    “So I would like to ask you right now,” he continued. “Why don’t you give back the money that you have taken from certain countries that treat certain groups of people so horribly? Why don’t you give back the money? I think it would be a great gesture, because she takes a tremendous amount of money.”

    “The Clinton Foundation is a disgrace,” he added. “And you know it, and they know it, and everybody knows it.”

    Clinton replied by stating the Clinton Foundation spends 90 percent of the money from donors, saying she’s “very proud” and that it has the “highest rating from the watchdogs”. She then pivoted to a comparison between the Clinton Foundation and the Trump Foundation, which she said wasted money taken from other people.
