I think all the candidates, with the exception of Donald Trump, proved worthy of being our nominee.
I went into the debate convinced that Trump is unprepared and indeed lacking the class to be President. After two hours my feelings about him were confirmed.
Trump’s lowlights from last night:
When asked if everyone on the stage would support the eventual nominee, all said yes, except Trump. He boldly stated he could only promise to support himself. Yes, that’s our Donald looking out for number 1. Country number 2.
When asked about the 4 times the Trump organization went bankrupt, in true clintonian style he claimed he didn’t go bankrupt, just the companies he ran. I bet the investors are relieved to hear that.
When asked about his statement that he was “extremely pro choice” on abortion, he said he “evolved.” What happened? Well if I understand his answer, he knew a lady who was thinking of having an abortion, but she decided to give birth. Trump said the kid turned out to be a real winner, so Trump concluded abortion is bad. I wonder if the kid turned out to be a loser, would Trump have remained “extremely pro choice?”
On the question about giving money to Hillary Clinton, Trump was asked what he got in exchange. He said, well by giving her money (nearly $100,000) she was then compelled to attend his 3rd wedding. I wonder what he got for giving money to Nancy Pelosi? Did she have to attend his second wedding?
When asked about his claim that the Mexican government is sending murderers and rapists to the United States, specifically what evidence he had for such a charge, Trump of course provided no such evidence.
In true Trump fashion he was full of bravado, but totally vapid. He said he’d be the “exact opposite of Obama” and that “We’d win again.” No substance, just rhetoric. But that’s Trump: an empty, albeit expensive, suit.
