An Open Letter to Donald Trump: How You Could Have Crushed Clinton with One Sentence

Agree. I was praying for him to jump in with something like:”well, if cyberwar and cyber security is so important, why did you deliberately use communications systems like your computer and blackberrys that were not only insecure and subject to hacking, but whose very use broke the law.

Damn it, it wouldn’t take much to memorize/imprint that into your brain so you could bring that aspect into play. That’s what failure to prepare will do for you.

I dearly love Donald and supported him from the very start- unlike many others, but I was disappointed that Donald didn't hit Clinton hard and hit her on things like Benghazi, the Clinton Foundation pay-to-play scandal, the 'deplorables' comment and many other things he could have nailed her with.

The witch came off looking more informed and confident.

I felt a twinge of fear for the first time that he may lose this thing.
I pray to God that he is better prepared for the next debate.

I met a guy today in western PA that is supporting Hillary because he once shook bill’s hand.

Most folks here I’ve talked to are against Clinton though, some aren’t keen on trump, but they’re against her.

I would like to see the Trump campaign go after Huma. Who is she, what power will she have in a Clinton administration, and will this be even worse than Obama’s howing and scraping to the Saudi royals? Trump should underline the fact that he won’t kowtow to anybody, in particular not to Islamic powers. Then broaden that out to the Iran deal. This is a very vulnerable point for Clinton and they should grab hold and not let go.

I place God above country, followed by this country. Clearly, any RAT voter cares about neither of these.

Ding, ding, ding!! A winner come back, for sure. :-)

Hopefully, he'll log that as a lesson-learned and address it when they re-engage in October.

You could have crushed Hillary's "tax returns" ambush with one sentence. Here it is: (with a tip 'o the derby to commenter tcrlaf)

Well, from all the different conversations I heard about what Trump HAD to do, the most popular was .. “temperament”. He was forced to be silent; forced to be more police (”Presidential”) .. whatever the hell that means.

I wanted to see fire and brimstone.

I’m still voting for Trump .. because to do otherwise tells me that people don’t care what happens to America or to their children.

The only reason people are afraid of Hillary is because the MEDIA IS IN BED WITH HER ..

Also, just since we’re dispensing advice, I think Trump would’ve been wise to embrace his not not paying income taxes. He doesn’t write tax law! Congress does. He just used it to his advantage. HRC had her chance to close loopholes and did she? Hell no! Trump is a smart and honest bidnessman and he could’ve embraced it more than he did.

True...But the obvious tactic devised by Clinton and Holt was for Clinton to make numerous accusations while Holt did his best to keep Trump from addressing and refuting those allegations...And there just wasn't enough time for Trump to focus on more than one...Even then he kept getting interrupted by Holt...Double teaming by the enemy...

[Iscool]

Also, was totally confused how he missed the whole opportunity to attack her after the cyber security issue. He started rambling about being endorsed by admirals and generals. Hillary was clearly stammering around this issue, and Trump let her go unscathed.

Hey, give the guy a break...Hillary had again just hit him with a list of things without taking a breath in between...One was that her national security experts said Trump wasn't qualified to be President...Of course he had to have a rebuttal for that and it was perfect...Something to the effect of, 'those are the people who along with you have destroyed this Country, of course they don't want me in there'...But THESE 200+ respected Generals and Admirals have endorsed me...

And then it was time for Holt to interrupt again...
