Second Debate
For a second time, Donald Trump is debating against the news media. The news media is eager to destroy him for reasons best left to speculation, and he must overcome them to win the votes needed to win.
The person the news media is propping up is some sleazy criminal granny from Arkansas. She assures me that in her America “Diversity MUST be celebrated!” The mandatory nature of the commandment leaves me cold, if not repelled.
When confronted about her various lies, Hillary replies by chuckling and telling people to go to her website.
I did not watch the whole debate. Trump respond to Hilary saying “I wouldn’t want someone with your temperament in office” by saying “Because you’d be in jail.”
Aside from that zinger, nothing of substance was said, at least so far as I could stomach watching.
However, Trump’s newest campaign promise, to appoint a special prosecutor and investigate his opponent, is unique in presidential races. Had he not won my support with previous promises, this alone would have won me over. The idea that someone can merely scoff at a congressional subpoena, destroy evidence, and get off Scot-free is a blasphemy to the goddesses of law and justice.
