The debate is over – Trump just can’t lead

Wednesday, September 28, 2016



In his own garbled rhetoric, his flustered, rambling responses, and his nervous, defensive posture, Republican Donald J. Trump provided plenty of unsettling evidence at Monday’s night’s first presidential debate for a voter to decide to reject his bid to be President of the United States.

To those who watched Trump’s 90-minute face off with Democratic rival, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, it should be frighteningly clear that a man who is so quickly rattled when confronted one-on-one on a national stage should never be in the White House Situation Room during a time of crisis. Each time he leaned into the microphone to interrupt Clinton, or shouted over her, or turned to the debate moderator for help, it underscored that the thin-skinned Republican candidate is ill-prepared, unfit and dangerously undisciplined. He is what he is – a real estate mogul and a reality TV star, who, when it came to the real reality of the presidential spotlight, unraveled.

................................................

This was not a debate to sway the entrenched camps on either side. Those bases of support for Clinton and Trump are set. We are concerned with those who remain undecided, and those who are leaning one way or another. The choice should become clearer now. We appeal to a sense of civic duty in those who are saying they will sit this election out, or worse yet, vote for a no-win third party candidate. With all due respect, there is too much at stake in this election for our families and our children. Make a choice.

......................................
Perhaps what was most telling Monday night was the way Trump – the self-anointed businessman extraordinaire – steamed when Clinton needled him about a refusal to disclose his income tax returns – does that mean he’s not as rich as he says he is, or that he hasn’t paid federal income taxes? Does that make him “smart” as he claimed? Are all Americans who pay their fair share of taxes every year being taken for a ride?...................

1. I knew he couldn't lead before he got into the presidential race

corporate media and dumb arse gopers did too but still falsely said and did otherwise.

2. Go for it Donald – she’s ready. You’re not.

On Oct. 9 is the second of three debates, which will include a “town hall” style segment with questions from voters. Meanwhile, Trump said Tuesday that he may hit Clinton “harder.” Go for it Donald – she’s ready. You’re not.

6. "We appeal to a sense of civic duty..."

One of the most startling expressions I've ever seen in a political endorsement. Tantamount to saying "Save the Republic..."

Incredible.
