At Wednesday's final debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, Clinton noted pointedly that Trump isn't just saying the election will be "rigged," but he's also complained about "rigged" losses for years. She noted President Obama's riff on the Trump's rigged-election "whining," then dipped into late-night TV territory. "There was even a time when he didn't get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row, where he started tweeting that the Emmys were rigged against him," Clinton noted. "Should have gotten it," Trump interjected. "This is how Donald thinks," Clinton continued. "And it's funny, but it's also really troubling." Peter Weber
