When I
watched the Presidential debate last week, I felt Trump was trying to win with
a deck stacked against him. I don’t
think Trump lost any voters, but he probably didn’t win any either.
I am sick and
tired of biased partisan moderators with stacked questions. Lester Holt said he would not do any fact
checking, but he did just that at least four times with Trump. I give Trump credit for not letting him get
away with it. At least he did not roll
over and play dead like Mitt Romney did in 2012. Holt never once corrected Hillary even when
she made obvious misstatement of facts like saying the murder rate in New
York had continued to go down after Stop-and-Frisk
was discontinued.
The questions
were extremely biased. Holt attempted to
make Trump look like a racist and a sexist.
Hillary did an excellent job of baiting Trump, and unfortunately he took
the bait.
Trump’s tax
returns were brought up implying he was hiding something. He has produced complete, audited financial
statements. Anyone that has ever taken
an accounting course knows these are much more comprehensive. Trump probably has not paid taxes. What idiot would pay taxes if they could
legally avoid them? We need a President
that understands our tax laws if we are going to make them fair for the middle
class.
It is
interesting that Holt never asked Hillary about her deleted e-mails, Benghazi ,
the Iran deal,
the Clinton Foundation, or her lying to Congress proven by the FBI. I think Trump was negligent in not bringing
these issues up himself.
Maybe Trump
was trying to follow debate rules. I
was on the debate team in high school, and as I remember the rules, Trump made
an attempt to follow the rules, with the exception of interrupting Hillary
several times. Interrupting seems to be
the new normal for political debates. Unfortunately,
Hillary and Holt made no attempt to follow the rules.
I never wanted
to play in a stacked-deck poker game and if I were Trump, I don’t know if I
would want to participate in another rigged debate. Trump probably does not have that
option. Public perception would be that
he was afraid to debate her.
Trump must stop
taking the bait to going on the defensive.
He must take the offensive.
Hillary has so many things he can bring up that it will be hard to
choose. The question is; do we want more
corrupt big government or do we want change so the government represents the
working people of this country?
Hillary is
very controlled. One of the few times I
have seen her show her true character was when she said, “What difference does
it make?” when talking about the Americans that died in Benghazi . Trump will probably not get Hillary to lose
control and fight. She will just stand
there with that stupid fake grin.
