The rap-style presidential debate actually veered from reality when Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was allowed to take the floor uninterrupted to deliver her rhymes; landing blows such as, "You been going bankrupt since the '90s/ If I was Iran you couldn't find me" and "How do I say this?/ You're racist/ Ooh, you must get so pissed/ That your hands are too small to stop and frisk".
Having picked up both on her own extensive experience and the allegations of sexual assault against Trump, it was time for the Republican candidate to take the floor; retorting with the likes of, "Your rhymes are trash/ put'em next to your e-mails" and "I'll tell Congress/ You're fired/ And put Charles in charge".
Though Trump was his usual inflammatory self, the battle was suddenly interrupted - at the point of him saying something he'd really regret - by none other than the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.
What did Donald Trump say during the third presidential debate?

Flying in on his presidential eagle, Lincoln landed blows to both candidates; exploding with, "I've heard more thoughtful discussion/ Up in TMZ/ You two got brother blocking brother/ On their Facebook feed" and demanding Trump "hold the door" if Clinton does indeed win. The sketch - directed by Nice Peter - saw Kimmy Gatewood as Clinton, EpicLLOYD as Trump, and Nice Peter as Abraham Lincoln.
