Well the first punches have been thrown in the series of three debates between Hillary and Donald, and I would have to call it Hillary by split decision.\u00a0 Sadly, it didn\u2019t have to be so.\u00a0 The Donald had her on the ropes early, but failed to deliver the knockout punch that would have easily landed on her corrupt and exposed chin.<\/p>\n
In the first half of the debate, Trump managed to corner Clinton on issues from her continuing e-mail saga to her numerous miserable failures on matters of state, to hers and Obama\u2019s disastrous economic policies.\u00a0 He sounded in control, reasonable, and possessed of a firm grasp of the facts.\u00a0 Hillary\u2019s mask-like and reptilian attempt at a smile betrayed how uncomfortable she was in the crosshairs, but then Trump began spewing repeated inanities that never hit home.<\/p>\n
When Clinton mentioned a federal discrimination lawsuit that was brought against one of Trump\u2019s rental properties in the early 70\u2019s, Trump parried well initially by noting that several other entities were named in the suit, and that he settled without admitting guilt.\u00a0 But this would have been a perfect moment to say, \u201cYes, a lawsuit was brought because not all of us have the FBI and the DOJ in our pockets.\u00a0 Not all of us can have the Director of the FBI stand in front of the cameras for 20 minutes on July 5th<\/sup> detailing lie after lie, and malfeasance after malfeasance, and then refuse to indict.\u201d\u00a0 It was a perfect opportunity, but he allowed Hillary to get back to her corner unscathed.<\/p>\n When Hillary tried to tar Trump as sympathetic to Russia because of his implied relationship with Vladimir Putin, Trump should have said it was she who pressed the comically failed \u201creset button.\u201d\u00a0 When she mentioned Russian hackers, Trump should have pointed out that it was she who exposed government secrets with a private and illegal server, but he failed to thrust.<\/p>\n Clinton came off the ropes to land a few jabs when she mentioned Trump\u2019s vague and nebulous position at the advent of the Iraq War, but The Donald counter-punched by rightly averring that it was her and Obama\u2019s leadership that created the vacuum that birthed ISIS.\u00a0 However, he had the perfect opening to mention how Obama referred to the terror outfit as the JV team, but he neglected to do so.\u00a0 Debates such as these are always remembered in sound bites, and JV team would have gone a long way to attaching Clinton irredeemably to the savages that she helped create with feckless policy positions in Libya, Syria, and Iraq.\u00a0 Trump also should have said that regardless of his positions on any of it, he was not the one in charge at the time, and his opinions at that time were not at all relevant.<\/p>\n As Clinton started waxing about the importance of working with Muslim countries to help defeat terrorism, Trump could have said Clinton would know all about working with Muslim countries as her Clinton Foundation has been taking money from them for years.\u00a0 Is it a pay for play, or simply that she likes to consort with countries that subjugate, oppress, rape, and kill women, gays, Christians, and Muslim apostates\u2014the very groups she purports to love and support?\u00a0 Again, Clinton managed to rope-a-dope away from any serious Trump blows.<\/p>\n Finally, Clinton, in full hypocritical bloom, played the gender card, implying Trump was a name-calling misogynist.\u00a0 Donald hinted that he wanted to say something, but he took the high road when he should have mentioned the elephant in the room.\u00a0 He needed to speak of Hillary\u2019s philandering, rapist, pedophile husband.\u00a0 He needed to let the millennials know that while she talks a big game as a feminist, she was the point man (I know\u2026the word point man is sexist!) in Slick Willy\u2019s \u201cbimbo patrol,\u201d assailing and ruining the lives of that pig\u2019s many accusers.\u00a0 Alas, Trump beat the same drum ad nauseum about his myriad business successes, instead of going for the jugular.<\/p>\n Trump has to tread a fine line.\u00a0 The pundits keep saying he has to come across as presidential, but he\u2019s gotten this far by being himself and going on the attack.\u00a0 In the next debate, he needs to work from body blows to attacking the head.\u00a0 God knows with that sow\u2019s obvious neurological issues, a head blow could put her on the canvas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September 26, 2016 Well the first punches have been thrown in the series of three
