Did Trump Win The Debate?

Donald Trump -  a scary thought came to mind at the beginning of the debate because we aren't even sure what he will run as An Independent? A Republican? A Democrat? As Carly Fiorina said "He's changed his mind on everything from healthcare to abortion. {What are the principles on which he would govern?}"

Even doubts as to his net worth, and he's worth a lot no doubt, but he says it is 10 billion, but outside estimates put the figuire lower. In June he said he net worth was about 8.7 billion, but Forbes even less at 4 billion.

Many say Trump won the debate but there are some doubts to his statement the Mexican government is sending us prisoners, drug pushers and dangerous felons. When pressed as to his source he said the guards at the border crossings told him this information.

Megyn Kelly was fired at ounce more for saying ugly things about him but if you look at the
May references about their meeting on the air, she merely pointed out that he has never been a lawmaker,or a governor and lacks experience in these areas. Which he does lack expertise, he is a business man, it was an accurate statement.  She is now on his bad list with others, such as Rosie, who some how got also into the debate.

My response to this is, how would he handle high level talks with diplomats from other countries, or would he fly off the handle, and let loose his tongue, ripping some one apart.  Did he look presidential? Giving clear facts, and on which principles he stood? And why did he give money to the Clintons?

I like Trump, I have even been to his seminars on moneymaking. I learned a lot. But from the debate I really learned very little about how he would run the country.  I would like to give him a second chance, but at this point I have more questions than answers.

I felt good after the debate, there were some really good answers I felt from the candidates. I felt like the country does have a chance at recovering with a good president. Lately I have heard people say things like, this isn't America anymore. And people feel we are loosing more jobs, even though we have gained some. I believe as long as people feel the country is in bad shape and the recovery is too slow they will vote with their feelings rather than facts

The person who wins the election will be the one who can convince us the most he or she can rebuild the country making jobs a priority and winning against Isis and other warring factors against us. It will be a person who can make us feel safe again. That we can trust again. It is going to be more about feeling than facts. So people can say this feels like America again, the place where I grew up. The place were my children and grandchildren can be safe. God Bless America

Trump Front-Runner Of The Republican Field For Debate

According to a New York magazine Trump ask former mayor Rudy Giuliani to reach out to Fox News Channel CEO Roger Ailes for a special favor. The report said "Team Trump feared taking a prime-time beating from moderator and Fox anchor Megan Kelly."

Giuliani slammed the report "as categorically, absolutely, one million percent false" in an interview with the Daily News.

Giuliani "We've talked about the campaign and what New Hampshire is like and what Iowa is like, but we have never talked about the debate - not even once."

All this stems from a contentious interview in May Kelly had with Trump. Kelly 'You haven't been a military leader and you haven't governed a state or been a lawmaker" she said on "The Kelly File"

Trump "I make great deals - I've made hundreds of millions of dollars against China." All over the world I make money, and I build great things"

Trump is going to be front and center she told USA Today in an interview. And vows to be "respectful" towards all candidates with her colleagues Bret Bair and Chris Wallace while running the debate.

Trump admits to being a little nervous. "If you are not nervous, you're going to be flat." And also admitted on O'Reilly Factor that he has never debated before.

So here we are with our first debate for the Republican's with Trump front and center. While downplaying and trying to lower expectations he is like everyone else in the debate. He needs to at least sound presidential and seem to know what he is talking about. Most important looking like a credible candidate and able to handle most everything thrown at him. However one debate does not a president make, but it will define what the candidates believe. And hopefully speak intelligently about the problems America has and some solutions to set before us.

I know we say at each election, this election is critical.. But this time it is crucially true, are we going to continue the course we are having of lost jobs, higher utility bills, higher and higher taxes and not gaining on the war against our enemies?? God Bless America
