Important Trump guest Wayne Newton is having a fun time at the debate
Wayne Newton's latest Vegas gig: attending the final presidential debate as Donald Trump's guest.

But Newton, a vocal Trump supporter who defended the candidate as late as Tuesday, cares not about his critics. He — or his wax figure stand-in; we are not sure — had a great time anyway.
