Trump went back to his old childish ways this past week, so she's off the hook for now. Hillary only falls (no pun intended) in the polls when the media gives her more attention than Trump.
That said, it should be an interesting debate.

I'm looking forward to Sept. 26th first debate. I'm not-so-secretly hoping that Trump gets his wife's panties in a wad and refuses to show up, since he's fully aware that Hills will wipe the stage with him over governmental policy issues. If he's allowed to continue his WWE-style of debate (as he did during the primary), well, that just infotainment at it's finest, right?
It would be even more of a must-see event if the debate council allows Gary Johnson into the cage matches. But, that's not likely to happen since both front-runners are on super thin ice and bringing a sane and truly moderate candidate into the mix would pull voters away from both major parties.

Which of those government policy issues are you most proud of? Proud isn't a word I would use. The fact that Hills has more working governmental knowledge in her discarded pinky nail than Trump is what I was referring to, but I think you knew that when you read my post. And, I'm REALLY hoping that Trump stays true to his natural personality and attempts his WWE-style of denigration and hate. Infotainment at its finest. Embarrassing to the rest of the watching world, but what does one expect from a country that places more news values in what Brad and Angelina/the Duggers/"Real" Housewives, etc. are doing than how our governmental representatives and leadership is f-cking up our futures. |

HRC has been part of those governmental representatives and leadership that you're concerned about.
It seems that her working governmental knowledge has convinced her that she will walk into the Presidency without offering any policy platform other than.....friends don't let friends vote Trump and we need bridges instead of walls.
She can't slam Obama without risking the black- immigrant- lgbtq vote. That's a tough place for her.
I just question who will wipe the stage.

She can't slam Obama without risking the black- immigrant- lgbtq vote. That's a tough place for her. I just question who will wipe the stage. This particular political season has been a new road for all candidates vying for the top spot. What was once a "debilitating and political career ending" statement/stance/policy/what have you, is now considered "Trumpism" and "normal" par for the course in this election. Trump has proven that it matters not what he says, feels or thinks, so long as it is wholly politically incorrect - he'll get a "pass" from the voting public and the Republican Party whom he represents as their "best of the best we have to offer in service to this country." Hills has a HUGE mountain to climb to raise her standings above the mountain of trash and B.S. she's covered herself in over the last 20 years in political service - and beyond that in private practice, as I've seen several "quotes" from her work as an attorney in public defense early in her career. She does have a policy platform, though in competing words with her current top opponent, she's having to resort to the "lower end" of debating skills by denigrating the opposition base and leadership. It's not a good way to run a campaign and certainly not what rational adults expect during a Presidential election in this country, but it is where we are. I'm hopeful, but not holding my breath, that we can at least get Gary Johnson involved, so that we could have some potential for actual policy debate discussions, and not so much of the snot throwing we've endured to date. What are your thoughts on how Trump should handle his personal conflicts of interest with Trump Enterprises' world-wide reach and how our government conducts business with foreign entities? Do you really believe he will step down as CEO, severe all ties with his "brand," if elected? How do you think he'll handle negotiations with the Middle Eastern block leaders? Or, more importantly, North Korea and China? How many cabinet spots do you think he'll reserve for his kids? Does it bother you any that his financial ties to the Russian government and oligarchs are easily proven and directly conflict with our country's political interests and path? I really do "get" the need and desire for change in the political status quo and "establishment" that has been residing in D.C. for decades. We really do need to get rid of career politicians and demand term limits for all elected offices. But, changing the POTUS is not where this change will be most felt and affected. Change has to come within Congressional representatives, first, then POTUS. We've all seen the effects of a POTUS who is in direct opposition of a majority-held Congress. Nothing happens, beyond the basic legislation that keeps this country afloat. We've endured this for the past 6 years (minus the first 2 years of Obama's presidency when D's held majority). |
