Donald Trump is in a LOT of trouble.. the Democrats are going to

hold him accountable in a way the republicans in their primary could not.. Watched most of the HRC foreign policy speech, and she pulled the chair right out from under his copious backside..

HRC did a great job of defining Trump as that loose cannon.. literally.

Yep you can't give one speech and have it hold up for the entire season.. agree with them on that..


She is loaded for bear though.. and with Trump that is what you kind of have to be..

he will be calling down the drainpipes so mad.. He can't take it.. he really is like a three year old child in that sense..

But he will be going at it full tilt.. I had to laugh when Ryan tweeted midspeech he was going to vote for Trump.. trying to derail the effects of her speech..

He's there. He conveys that he cares. He doesn't need a script.

He can speak to two people or to twenty thousand. He is always present and himself.

Hillary is a facade. She spoke to 250 PAYING guests. Easy audience.

Trump will go out an ridicule her very intelligence.

She will be a hard sell. I am really frightened at the thought that Hillary might be our candidate. She is very weak. Overly sensitive. Trump will ridicule her. And she is so proud and not quick witted, she will be squished under the massive weight of his huge body.

I am not optimistic if Hillary is the candidate. Trump is so bad that he should be easy to defeat, but Hillary is, as she has admitted, not a politician. Not a leader either. Doesn't think that fast. Not a quick witted.

It's very sad to think that the fate of the world may be in the hands of us voters and our choices may actually only be Hillary and Trump -- each a loser in his or her own right.

Really sad.

Hillary does not connect. The American people will elect a know-nothing like GWB who connects rather than a brilliant man like Gore who doesn't connect to audiences. That's just the reality. Hillary is a lousy candidate.

Brilliant maybe in her way, but not a good candidate. She might still win by default. But then I never that that GWB could win, but he did.

Trump on the other hand says he gets his foreign policy because he "watches the shows" and is propped up to become the R nominee.

This was a case where Hillary knew exactly which ground she stands on, and she's solid.

Wow: he was not a complete idiot; so I guess he won the debate over Kerry? Remember the media spin?

Just like W, the bar has been set so low with Trump that even a mediocre performance will beat expectations. Our media SUCKS!!!!!
