I guess I can't expect much on today's media.
OMG. Aspiring President Trump looks like a complete geopolitical neophyte. He has not answered one question that was asked, just falls into his stale sloganeering. He shows no knowledge of anything except boasting of his powerful plans, huge plans, great plans, tell the generals his plan is "maybe better" in some cases, "take the Iraqi oil" was a classic, etc. All government agencies are corrupt, blah, blah, blah. All sizzle, no steak. It seemed like he was always attacking Obama, not Klinton. Bad political strategy IMO.
Someone who wants my vote better show me they have some command of what's going on in the world (past and present) and some sign of reasoned thought about (practical) solutions. He did not sell me. I want a smart and wise President. He's neither.
A master of deflection for sure. I think he's trying to throw the election now. I think even a casual observer would say he looked unprepared, at best. I thought he had advisers, he seems to have not sought, nor gained, any wisdom at all.
Hillary looked very aggressive (does that scare you?) and serious, very strong, hungry to lead (Katniss Klinton?). Showing at least a personal response to audience questions and comprehensive knowledge of all issues raised. I'm sure misogynists hate that. It's too late to keep whining about IT issues (she wasn't CTO/CIO of the State Department,who should have not let any of this happen IMO), we have two choices now.
A very stark contrast in what I saw. Your opinions are welcome. Just show some class.
