Election 2016: The First Debate, September 26, 2016 - Didn't She Rumble, Children


The First Debate. What's that song line, 'Didn't she rumble, children, didn't she roll over that ...."

Well, something like that. You get my meaning. As I commented post debate, September 26, 2016, in the DailyKos webzine (She.Just.Destroyed.Him),

Have to feel a kind of merciful regard for DT as he fades away, he really didn’t do it (the debate). With Hillary going full detail, quant and prepared, DT came across almost less than amateurish. Two things: 1, it was kinda nice over the past 10 months to see the working man for once in a long time (second Roosevelt?) have a mouthpiece even though DT from the start was destined to crash and never seriously shared or understood the interests of the working ‘man’; 2, it’s all on Hillary now, the country needs a boost in just the points she won the debate on — a major make-over for America: energy, infrastructure, education funding for college attendance for everyone, a completion of the healthcare start under Obama, to start. Hillary’s tasks will cost but America is falling apart (like Trump said) but Trump is not the one to carry it off. Trump is an off-the-cuff idea person not suited for the day-to-day over the long term. Hillary is that person. Just pray she gives it all she has...it might be the last chance for America.
Some points about the Debate and its surrounding context:

1/ The Debate unmasked Trump as a substance-missing rabble rouser whose bite is toothless without the rebel yells of his usual xenophobic (all-phobic actually, except white males) audience.
2/ The Debate, for me, unveiled Hillary to actually be the person her job resume indicates - poised, assured, measured, expert and subtle, Senator and top administrator (Secretary of State, 8 Years).
3/ God save the American worker. Trump is proved not the messiah of, but the exploiting scallywag seeking to make not points but money off his adopted championing the working 'man'.
4/ Hillary still seems less than a heartfelt visionary (mission driven) of a better future for 'work' in America than a perhaps superb administrator.
5/ 'What are you hiding?'. Indeed what is Trump hiding? Do we even need to know now that we know whatever "It" is, the mere alluding to "It's" existence has already caused Trump terminal irritation and visible emotional distress. Point made, Hillary.
6/ Emails. Catch a clue - the '30,000' emails (probably a Trump exaggeration) were handled by a closely-held service provider...via directive. Hillary has nothing to do with their handling, retention or privacy. She's not sweating anything.
7/ All in all, though, if Hillary wins the grand election on November 8, I believe America will be in the hands of the better candidate.

Future Debates. Trump shot his wad, nothing left. Hillary do deftly neutralized the email issue, there's practically nothing left he can prepare himself to attack, but if Trump does not back out from future debates, Hillary should simply do a 'clean up' job and essentially erase Trump the minds of all voters except the die-hard Trumpists. But, again, once in office Hillary must attend to transforming the economic and general life-quality of the American worker.
