That is not leaving the issue unanswered. Nigel is telling Trump to ignore Hillary and speak directly to the American voters about change and what he will do for them as President. <br /><br />Flailing around about Rosie O'Donnell and Sean Hannity is a waste of time. <br /><br />I do not think the first debate was a disaster, but it was a lost opportunity to put Hillary away (he was pretty good in the first half hour). But It cost Trump momentum and a couple of points. Evi L.

He can dismiss it out of hand and then attack her on a more recent substantive point. And rolling in the mud with Ms. Piggy is best left to surrogates like Christie. He would like that. <br /><br />He lost a couple of points and momentum after the election. He needs to close the gap in a couple of critical states to win. This latest tax disclosure and Machado are attempts to throw him off the offensive with Clinton, that and also an attempt to make a worse choice than Hillary. Evi L.

But both sides, and particular the side on which the moderator and the jackass sit, speak only in platitudes about things that may interest others, but have little to do with their own agenda. For example, "smart, fair" anything requires honesty and openness; and neither of those things are inherent in a private server designed to hide deals from all.<br /><br />Look, I know for whom I am voting. I know why. It's not for anything promised to me, but for my own calculation as to what their Presidency will cause others to do. I want Trump to win for one simple reason; to have the media go after the office of the Presidency. To have the media remind the public that no office should hold so much power. To try and set the brakes on globalization as it blows into Hoboken, NJ. That's why I'll vote for Trump. If he ends up doing better or worse; I'm certain he will at least be a smidgen better than Hillary.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-27604256022735563872016-10-02T06:33:04.564-04:002016-10-02T06:33:04.564-04:00You spent all day writing this, didn't you?
