Clinton Trump Debate Fallout

I know the talking heads on TV have been debating who had the best night at the debate and, depending on which channel you tune to, it could be either Trump or Clinton.

I'd have to go with Clinton for the following reasons;


  1. She remained calm no matter what was thrown at her or how many times Trump interrupted her. 
  2. She stayed on point with her answers. All her answers were direct answers to the questions asked. The woman can focus on issues in spite of the chatter to her right. 
  3. She could explain her plans. There were no "secret" vague plans.
  4. She showed respect for the moderator and even for Trump. She did not interrupt or try to shout over Trump or Holt. 
  5. She wasn't afraid of the fact checkers. In fact, she invited them in. 
Where Trump failed;
  1. What was with the funny faces? Did he not know there was a split screen and he looked like a fourth grade bully mocking his school mates? (apologies to any fourth graders out there)
  2. Could not give direct answers. Donny seemed to talk around the question and always turned it back into an attack. Does he not know his own stance on the issues? 
  3. The shout outs and interrupts. A display of uncontrolled emotions and defensiveness. I found myself wishing they would shut off his mic so others could finish a sentence without his nasty yips. 
  4. Seemed to get more agitated as the night wore on. If Clinton and Holt could cause enough pressure for him to lose control, how would this man fare if faced with life and death negotiations? How could he face off with the leaders of other nations without losing control? 
  5. Fear of facts. Before the debate he refused to allow fact checking during the debate. What was he afraid of? An honest politician should not be afraid of the fact checkers.

Debate one goes to Hillary Clinton. 

Perhaps Donald could take a lesson now and actually prepare for the next debate and stop bragging that he doesn't need to prepare. Evidently he needed something. 

Now, imagine if he was walking into a war room unprepared?

Did Trump get an "F" in Negotiation?

During his recent trip to Mexico, Trump reported that the subject of who was going to pay for his billion dollar wall did not come up.

Really?

His biggest campaign promise didn't come up when he went to Mexico? This brings up the question; Did he go there to try to negotiate with Mexico to get them to say they'd pay for his wall?

Makes us wonder if his trip to Mexico was a ploy to show off his "great" negotiation skills right before  his big immigration speech.

And he came back with ... nothing.

So, did he lie to America when he said the subject didn't even come up? The Mexican government said it did and that Trump was told Mexico would not pay for his wall.

Really? Why would they? If Canada said they wanted a wall, would America pay for it? Of course not.

Is Trump lying to American just to save face? Does he consider the American public that stupid? Why would he go to Mexico and not bring up the subject of his infamous wall?

If he tries to build the wall the American tax payers will be stuck with the billion dollar bill and he can't admit that, can he?

Who believes the subject just didn't come up???

Will Trump Deport Grandma???

Trump's harsh immigration policy has too many repercussions he's not acknowledging. Like an angry little boy with is head buried in the sand, Trump forgets he's talking about splitting up good, hard working families.

Let's see the honest immigrant who either overstayed their visa or maybe did come in illegally years ago.

Now's she's a grandma. Her children and grandchildren were born here. She
worked hard her whole life just to give her kids a good live. Now they're  contributing members of society. They go to church, work honest jobs, come home and help the kids with their homework.

Trump gets into office and rips this sweet grandma from the only home she's known for the last 40 years and sends her back to country where she knows no one and has no ties. What happens to Grandma?

How many families will be ripped apart by Trump's unrealistic view of immigrants?

Drug dealers? Criminals? Ask Trump what he's going to do about the drug dealers and criminals that are American citizens. Does he have an answer for that one?
