That's one of the reasons I prefer Hillary, I think she's better at being blunt and cutting with trump.

I feel he's too set in stone on his issues, and his speeches which never seem to change. I worried that he'd decide to just keep giving his basic campaign message and assume he didn't need to change or take on Trump directly.
