It's Beyond Debate Trump Unfit to Be President

Washington Post editorial board: Permit us to dissent from this conventional wisdom, vigorously.


Yes, Monday night's clash, and two additional debates to follow, will add drama to the election, and a bit more data to the massive pile of it already available to voters.

In a fundamental sense, however, there is nothing much at stake, or shouldn't be, because there is not much more to learn:

Trump has amply demonstrated his unworthiness to occupy the Oval Office.

It's beyond his capacity in the upcoming 90-minute question-and-answer sessions to reverse or even substantially modify that conclusion.

Maybe so, but he is far more qualified than Hillary to be prez.

So voting in a criminal mendacious  POS is a better option??

[chuck_curtis]

You're right there is no debate.  It's Trump or bust.

BREAKING NEWS:  The WA PO is a Liberal Democrat Leftist newspaper run by Liberal Democrat Leftists.

It would be a shocking surprise if they published anything favorable about Normal People and Mr. Trump.

Excellent advice.  There at least you will get the most fair and balanced coverage.

The fact that neither Gary Johnson, nor Jill Stein were included means that the people haven't been given all the information.

Trump mopped the floor with crooked corrupt lying Hillary!

The tone of debates is set by questions asked and questions not asked.

Holt spent much time on whether Trump will release his tax records and on the birther issue.  Trump has answered these questions.

Holt should have asked Hillary if her campaign started the birther issue in 2008.

But most importantly, Holt did not ask Hillary about the Bubba Foundation that has received billions of dollars from countries, individuals, and businesses that had business with the Hillary State Department.

Holt did not ask about how she amassed $300 million during the last 15 years, and why anyone would pay up to $500K per speech to her "husband" Bubba while she was secretary of state, not to mention her own speech fees after she left office.

Holt did not ask Hillary about the pay for play, nor did he ask her about Benghazi, specifically why she lied about the attack's cause.  Holt did not ask Hillary if she agrees with Obama's veto of the bill to allow September 11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia, nor why the Saudis gave $25 million to the Bubba Foundation.

Trump made a mistake by not focusing on the emails scandal when Holt asked about cyber-security.  This was the time to say she was extremely negligent and that Comey said her emails could have been hacked by foreign governments.

Trump did well on discussing trade, ISIS, and the economy, and in pointing out that Hillary has not done anything during her 26 years about the problems of crime, the economy, and race relations.

Hillary gave her standard answers on generalities and personal attacks on Trump.  She gave no reasons why she should be president.  She had the unnatural smile on her face as she recited her monologues.
