"He made his biggest mistake just as she delivered her best performance".
Thank god that the debates are over! I don't think I could have handled another one. For the first twenty minutes or so, Trump did well, then he reverted back to his former "ugly" self. I actually liked Trump somewhat during the apprentice series, but I could never understand why all contestants in the boardroom, including celebrity apprentice contestants had to call him Mr. Trump. Actually I do understand, it was to feed his ego. If I was a contestant and I had to call him Mr. Trump, I would have insisted he call me Mr. Budmantis or my actual last name preceded by Mr., but I digress.
I think I made it known on the Forum that I'm not an enthusiastic supporter of Hillary Clinton. Her poise and performance in the debates has raised my respect for her by a couple notches though, and given the choice of who we have to vote for, she's obviously our best choice. Moving forward, it will be interesting to see how Congress and the Senate will work with her.
Except for the first two years of Obama's presidency, both houses of Congress have stonewalled him on just about everything. If there had been a bipartisan effort to launch a healthcare program in 2010, it would likely be a hell of a lot better than what is known as Obamacare. My wife and I have both benefited from the Affordable Care Act since it's inception, but changes have to be made to it to make it work better.
I hope this "stonewalling" by the Republicans in both houses of Congress will stop and bipartisanship begins again. The onus is not just on the Republicans, it is also on Hillary Clinton, who most likely will be our next President. It will likely be politics as usual, but I can hope for better things.
