The third and final 2016 presidential debate took place Wednesday night at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. While both candidates came off as far less combative, there was one line that seemed to rub everyone the wrong way, including supporters.
Frank Luntz, a Republican political consultant and pollster, holds focus groups of people watching the debate and rating their responses.
During the debate over the accusations of sexual harassment against Donald Trump, the former reality TV host repeated a line that he has said many times, “Nobody has more respect for women than me.”
According to Luntz’s focus group, this line was not well-received.
He tweeted during the debate:
Trump's worst line of the evening: "Nobody has more respect for women than me."

Everyone dialed it down... Even his own supporters. #debate
Luntz also tweeted the response of viewers during Clinton’s defense of the Clinton Foundation, which was also not well received.
Hillary's Clinton Foundation answer was a disaster.
