The Debate

I watched the debate. It was painful. Sort of like giving birth to a porcupine. Neither candidate came across as very personable or inspiring. However, I can not imagine any sane, sensible person calling it for Trump. He was terrible. So terrible.

Clinton dodged and weaved a bit on the issue of trade. Then Trump proposed giving massive tax cuts to rich people like himself. He made excuses for not releasing his tax returns. When accused of not paying taxes, he didn’t deny the charge but said that would make him smart. When accused of not paying for the goods and services he received from small business people, Trump rationalized. When asked how he would heal racial divisions, Trump’s answer was “law and order” and “stop and frisk.” So I guess his solution is to treat young men with darker skin tones as a suspect class even more than we do already. Trump also said something about taking the oil as a way of dealing with ISIS. It sounded like he was proposing theft. So I guess part of Trump’s foreign policy would include pillaging. Maybe we should change our name to the United States of Pirates.

Perhaps one of these candidates wouldn’t be all that inclined to get down in the floor to help you play with your basket of puppies. But the other one… I wouldn’t be surprised if he drowned your puppies. When you confronted him, he’d tell you some bullshit story about how he was out all night with Sean Hannity siphoning gas. Just call Sean if you don’t believe him.
