LAS VEGAS — Donald Trump has dominated the Twitter conversation surrounding the third and final presidential debate.

Twitter says that the Republican nominee was the subject of nearly 60 percent of the tweets sent about the candidates.

The social media platform says the top tweeted moment was Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s discussion about treatment of women. The second most tweeted was Trump’s refusal to say if he’ll accept the results of the election should he lose.

Google Trends says the top issues researched were both candidates’ stances on abortion, immigration and guns. It says people also searched for Trump’s position on the Iraq war, the Clinton Foundation and questions regarding Clinton’s emails during her time as secretary of state.
