CitizenZero's JournalA Turning Point
During one of the debates, Trump kept mentioning the Rust Belt States--Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Hillary did not.
It seemed a turning point to me. Trump was speaking directly to the voters in these States, and Hillary just kept on offering her Resume and her Policies. Those things (experience, policies) are important, but you have to throw some red meat to the voters, which is what Trump did. I realized at that debate moment that Trump was addressing the voters directly and Hillary was in trouble. Trump was a cunning and ruthless salesman.
Hillary had the experience, no doubt, but she was not a good campaigner, in my opinion. Trump has an instinct to go for the jugular and Hillary was just not good at speaking to the voters concerns. In campaigns, reason flies out the window at some point. It is more about instinct and emotion, and Trump is a snake oil salesmen who could sell ice to eskimos. The Democrats need to nominate people who appeal to the interests, needs, and prejudices of the people, not cerebral policy wonks who have been in Washington for decades.
So, it is good to have candidates who are smart and experienced, but that alone is not enough. We have to nominate candidates who are good campaigners and who can speak directly to what voters think and need. They should also have the capacity to throw some punches as well. Hillary may have been too sincere and too civilized. Maybe we need a street fighter instead of an honor student.
In Appreciation Of Barack Obama
We had a good Eight years thanks to the Obama Administration. Obama was the best President of my lifetime (so far) and he deserves the gratitude of the Nation.
He was a steady Captain of the Ship for two Terms. He helped pull us out of the Great Recession. He was Smart, Moral, Calm, Cool and Collected. Sort of an Anti-Trump.
So thank you to Barack Obama. Hopefully we can fight to assure his Legacy. I think that History will treat him well. I am glad he was our President. Please add your thoughts of gratitude for President Obama.
Trump Is Mentally Ill
Trump clearly has a Personality Disorder. He is a Narcissist with Sociopathic tendencies, a classic text book case. We need to find some Psychiatrists to go on record and diagnosis Trump publicly. Trump is Mentally Ill and unfit to be Commander-in-Chief. He needs to be removed from office.
