Once again decided to skip the debate. Both candidates positions on the
issues have been known for the past two years, and certainly weren’t going to
change last night. And since both contestants are personally distasteful,
watching Green Bay beat the Giants made for a far more pleasurable evening.
Recapping the debate this morning, David Martosko, U.S. Political Editor for
dailymail.com, wrote that Trump “had Clinton playing defense for most
of the 90-minute clash, saying she would be 'in jail' if he ran the Justice
Department – a reference to her classified email scandal – and declaring that
she had 'tremendous hate in her heart' when she branded 'half' his supporters as
'deplorables.'
“He even bested her on her recollection of her own tenure at the helm of the
U.S. State Department.
“Trump recalled that Clinton was secretary of state when President Barack
Obama drew his now-infamous rhetorical 'red line' in Syria, ineffectively
warning Bashar al-Assad not to use chemical weapons against insurgents and
civilians.
“Clinton insisted she had retired from the government by the time that
happened. Not so: Obama dared Assad to cross his line in August 2012, six months
before Clinton’s term ended.”
In another case of one-upmanship, Trump invited four women to participate in
a press conference before the debate. Three had publicly accused Bill Clinton of
sexual attacks and the fourth, Kathy Shelton, accused his wife of
helping her rapist get away with the crime and then laughing about it on
tape. And then in an extraordinary moment, three of them, Kathleen Willey,
Juanita Broaddrick and Kathy Shelton were seated close to Bill for the evening’s
event.
Beyond that, an extremely positive boost for Trump came from Doug Schoen who
has served as a pollster for President Bill Clinton. Having more than 30 years
experience as a pollster and political consultant, he’s also a Fox News
contributor and co-host of "Fox News Insiders" Sundays on Fox News
Schoen wrote: “All this is to say that Trump surprised a lot of people on
Sunday night. He did better than anyone would’ve expected, especially
considering the tape release from Friday.
“This doesn’t change the fact that Trump still faces huge challenges in
fundraising, ground game and infrastructure.
“But Sunday night’s debate does keep him in the game and should help him
start to crawl out of the hole he’s been digging himself over the past two
weeks.
Schoen’s article’s well-worth reading. here’s a link: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/10/09/latest-october-surprise-trump-pivots-and-saves-his-candidacy-at-second-debate.html
As far as the presidential race itself is concerned, it seems that for many
voters, the choice currently rests upon deciding whether some ten year old
disparaging locker-room comments about women are more important than repairing
the ills of the nation.
Which means that in response to offensive language, there are those that prefer at least four more years of economic stagnation, open borders,
unbridled illegal immigration, a strangling tax code, spineless foreign policy,
military weakness and increasing exposure to terrorism.
Aside from the major policy differences, feelings regarding Trump’s rival
were put succinctly in a cartoon depicting her husband’s personal
preferences, posted by a Facebook friend this morning.
Bringing us to today’s update on Bill's wife which comes from Mark J.
Fitzgibbons @americanthinker.com/blog.
In this case, although being a mature adult, there are particular things far
to uncomfortable to put in print. And therefore, a link is provided below for
readers to access themselves.
Mr. Fitzgibbons put it this way: “If you think Donald Trump’s comments are
vulgar, check out Hillary’s potty mouth.
“Note: If you are offended by vulgar language, do not read this.”
What this evidence of filth also means is that, if those demanding Trump’s
withdrawal based on language foulness are to be consistent, Bill’s wife must
also follow suit. And that brings up the ongoing question again: Bernie Sanders,
Joe Biden, Jerry Brown, and Starbucks chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you
guys are reading this?
That's it for today folks.
Adios
