Last night’s debate was a demonstration that nominating two absolutely unfit candidates for president may not have been a wise decision for America. There were rock ‘em, sock ‘em moments; there were attack angles from both candidates. But neither candidate was able to provide a comprehensive vision of America’s future, neither had a basic grasp of policy issues, both ignored looming crises like entitlements collapsing, and both demonstrated their penchant for lies and corruption.
Here are some takeaways.
1. Hillary Clinton Is Insanely Corrupt. Hillary breaks out the Nightmare Clown Grin™ every time she has no answer – and she broke it out an insane amount last night. …… Hillary has no answers on her corruption because she’s ridiculously corrupt.
2. Trump Doesn’t Know How To Promote Conservatism. Trump nibbled around the edges of some conservative thoughts last night, but his defenses of conservatism were weak at best. He had the greatest opportunity to promote conservatism in presidential history – a moderator, Chris Wallace, who asked great questions, and an opponent, Hillary Clinton, who can’t defend her policies to save her life – and instead, he spoke in broad generalities and embraced a solid number of leftist policies. ……. Trump spent much of his time last night railing against NAFTA and NATO. That has nothing to do with conservatism. Again, liberty was never mentioned at any point during this debate.
3. Trump Doesn’t Know How To Attack. Trump was touted during the primaries as the fellow who could attack. But last night, he launched a hundred attacks and failed to sustain any of them. ….. His penchant for speaking political shorthand – culled from reading only the headlines on news stories – doesn’t allow him to delve deeply into any single attack, leaving a scattershot overall impression of corruption but not latching it to anything substantial.
4. Hillary Lies Incessantly. Hillary Clinton can’t stop lying. ….. Hillary can’t stop lying because the moment she tells the truth, she has to resign in disgrace.
5. Trump Loves Vladimir Putin. Trump imploded when Hillary Clinton redirected from open borders to Vladimir Putin. ….. Clinton rightly pointed out that Trump would rather take Vladimir Putin’s word on Wikileaks than that of American intelligence agencies. Which led Trump to state, “Putin has outsmarted her every step of the way.” This is the Republican nominee. Ugh.
6. Hillary’s Values Are Disgusting. ….. She’s a far leftist, and her radicalism is actually evil.
7. Neither Has Serious Plans. ….. Neither Hillary nor Trump has any material plans – Hillary just has her radical leftism, and Trump his ad hoc approach to problem-solving.
8. Trump Is Utterly Self-Destructive. Trump fought Hillary to a standstill, and perhaps had her on the defensive. But he dropped two bombs that were utterly disastrous. …..
In the end, the debate won’t change any minds. Hillary Clinton is awful and evil. Donald Trump is a blue dog Democratic clod. Thanks, America – this one’s for you.
