overall a disappointing night for the Union, IMO.
- Clinton- looked like a machine, well programmed, certainly more comfortable in the debate format, more polished and presentable as a politician which was to be expected. She looked frail to me, not during the debate, but after while walking he stage... my wife noticed to, and she really hasn't paid attention to the race much. I kept thinking to myself, "does Hillary grasp our problems, and provide good solutions?"....but I found myself thinking she will pack the court with liberals justices and reengineer the **** out of this country through the court. I've never been impressed with Hillary, still am not today, if I HAD to chose between the two at gun point, Id pick her because of the evil you know, which is not a ringing endorsement.
Trump- I was hoping for more, got what I figured would be the case, a lot words in tangent form. He's not a politician, he's a clear outsider and it showed with his featherweight grasp of the issues. I found myself saying anti-establishment fervor is great, but what happens with the rubber needs to meet the road? I think he would bring management to a government out of control, but what about his interaction internationally, or even with the legislative and judicial arm of this country? yikes. He couldn't help himself, was regularly off topic, probably saying less would have helped.
It would have been nice to see Ted Cruz in this spot, I'm not sure he would win the POTUS, but his campaign would be been much better from a presentation standpoint and he would have elevated the debate to more than, well, whatever that was last night. Hard to believe one of these guys will be sworn in next year....
