Let's jump right in. Immediately after the
debate, it seemed that the majority was saying that Clinton overpowered her
opponent while Trump was somewhat weak and lacking. I disagree with this, to an
extent. Like some of the other reporters were saying, I think Trump had a good
opening. From the very first question about creating jobs, Trump had some
strong points that overpowered Clintons. Something that really bothered me
about Clinton's answer was when she talked about taxes. Particularly increasing
the tax for the wealthy which will, in turn, pay for expenses of the lower
classes like college debt. This, however, doesn't solve any problems, only
creates more. Making the rich pay more to pay for the lower classes takes away
a key element of why America is a great country. A country where you can work
hard, and with your hard work you can become successful and be that wealthy
class, feeling good about your accomplishments, but what Hillary wants to do
only makes a generation of lazy people. For example, Why should students put
any motivation into college, getting a job or career etc. when everything is
already paid for them. People need to work hard for their accomplishments
rather than it being paid for them when times get tough. As I said earlier, I
think Trump had a strong debate, but to an extent. Shortly after the first half
of the debate, maybe even less some say, he started to fall, and I think this
is where Clinton's political experience really shined. Even some issues that
she answered poorly, Trump didn't have anything of significance to exploit her
either. When the issue of race came up, Clinton talked very heavily about the
police, making little indications that it could be the people's fault, but just
the police. I think Trump could have been daring and addressed that, but he
didn't, instead he talked about something different which was, like many of his
other answers, still weak and in some instances off topic. The fact is Hillary
was calm and collected and knew how to answer each question, as well as
bait her opponent, which was very successful. I think Trump really could have
shined in this debate, but he was too caught up in defending himself against
little remarks Clinton would make towards him. Occasionally he would rise back
up, but only to fall down again to Clinton's superiority. Trump has the
potential to be great, but this debate really showed who has more experience.
Clinton was on the offense for the majority of the time while Trump was stuck
under her foot, defending himself against her rather than building on his own
opinions as well as exploiting "Secretary Clinton's."
