As far as the debate is concerned people say Trump did better for the first 45 minutes from the completely out of control demeanor he’s usually shown. There were six topics that Chris Wallace held up for discussion. Wallace by far has been the best moderator both in maintaining discipline (not perfect but much better) and also boring down and asking just the right questions at the right time. The six broad topics were the Supreme Court, Immigration, the Economy, Fitness to be President, Foreign Hot Spots, and Debts and Entitlements. The only place where Hillary screwed up badly was on the topics of abortion and gay marriage where I disagree with her. Hillary steadily defended partial birth abortions, and Trump rather boldly “ripped” her assertions apart. Trump of course had twelve candidates ready to go for the job. Hillary broadly outlined what sort of Supreme Court she’d like to see. They aren’t the things I would say but she was OK. I would tend toward more of an originalist view of the constitution myself in seeking what the Founding Fathers actually intended. This is also the Thom Hartman view. Of seeming equal importance to Trump was the preservation of the Second Amendment where Trump apparently wants no gun regulations. Hillary raised the specter of little toddlers being accidently shot by their slightly older brothers and sisters. I had coffee about 5:15 and smoked a cigarette at ten to six shortly before the sun went down. The debate lasted from six to just past 7:35 when I went and got my medication from Tom. When Tom heard I had been watching the debate he asked which candidate I was for and I said ‘Hillary’ and he agreed with me. Sometimes you have to tread gingerly around certain topics with certain people because you don’t know. Hillary was very composed and well modulated when she discussed Trump’s women. She chose her words carefully in reaction to this scandal. Trump brought up the E mails but I don’t remember Hillary’s response but the topic didn’t gain traction. Trump raised the accusation that there were hired rabble rousers at Trump rallies starting fights. Hillary never denied this. Trump also said there has been and will be massive voter fraud of millions of voters. Trump really fell down when he said he would not abide by the results of the election. Trump also never flatly said he would be pleased if Roe vs Wade were overturned. All he said was “With the judges I appoint to the High Court it’s going to happen”. Trump stuck to the contention that all of this sexual harassment stuff with women never happened. Trump was cleaver at fear mongering and slipped in a lot of remarks under Hillary’s radar. He said drug runners and terrorists were crossing the border. But he also said that President Obama himself had sent a lot of criminals back to Mexico. Hillary hammered Trump on the Russian sabotage angle of the President’s campaign and hit him hard on the subject of our NATO and other allies. She accused Trump of being a mere puppet of Putin and that Putin is working hard to get Trump elected. Trump responded with some cleaver fear mongering saying “Putin knows that Hillary and Obama are really stupid, and telegraphing our intent ahead of time to attack Mozul was stupid because all of the high ISIS leaders have long sense left the field of battle. Trump kind of hinted he was just all around ‘smarter’ than Hillary because Hillary has had 25 years to fix the economy and to make good economic or other deals with foreign country and she hasn’t accomplished it. Trump said he was going to renegotiate NAFTA and get rid of the Iranian nuclear agreement- - one of the dumbest things we’ve done. However Hillary nailed Trump on the use of Chinese steel and other metals in his high rise buildings. Here is a case where Hillary is talk and Trump is deeds, but we don't like his 'Deeds". Finally Chris Wallace gave them each one minute to summarize their campaigns.
In the news hundreds of scrotum frogs are endangered around Lake Titticaca. Also, two new moons have been discovered around Uranus. I guess you getter increase your use of Preparation H. Meanwhile one remark arrested my attention during a commercial break. It’s when this Black guy in prison says “You didn’t dig your own grave; you were born into it”. That’s just how I feel. Earlier this morning I happened to think of how when I would fail badly at a job interview or something else I really wanted- - Paul would never be surprised at this or show the least bit of empathy. He’d just say “Well, you’ve always been a failure so what’s so unusual?” That’s how he sees me and has always seen me. It got me to thinking that when Paul was trying to get me to be a Born Again Christian on March 24th 1976 that I should have played the “What if” game with him, which would be no game. I would recite my own future with twenty twenty forsight and throw it right in his face. Others might say to me “Well now you’re just being negative about the future” but Paul couldn’t use this line himself because deep down he knows (way before I knew) that he would always see me as a failure because deep down he knew God didn’t exist the way he was trying to convince me he did exist. So getting back to that Black guy in prison- - he got there because the police always lie in their documents. They lie about what suspects are doing before they get shot or tazed- - and these lies travel with the suspects as they make their way through the justice system. So the media says “You only got what you deserved”. Neil Savedra, Jesus Christ Himself would put it “You dug your own grave”. According to Jesus of KFI all man’s problems stems from a lack of mental will. If they only had the Mental Will, they could dig themselves out of any problem and with sheer force of their own resolve and will overcome anything that has beset them for so long. So when people say that “Jesus Saves” I would respond, “We need to come up with a new religion that will Save us from Christianity. We need something that will keep us from being born into a grave, or doomed before we begin. This is my opinion. Now I’ll open the floor for discussion.
