We can discuss the polls to determine the victor from last night, and we'd be left with a huge number that say Trump won and a few that say Clinton won. Or, we could look at little, non-scientific groups that networks gather called ‘focus groups’ and we can wonder how any American doesn't realize that a dozen people isn't even vaguely representative of the 320 million Americans. Americans aren't that stupid. Sadly, the media thinks we are.
We can look a demeanor, and we'll note the deer-in-the-headlights look of Clinton for the first two-thirds of the debate, or we'll note the ruddy complexion of Donald Trump when he's making a point.
Rightly, we can note that the moderator was less than professional last night. He thought it was a Big Time Wrestling event, and scripted one of those episodes where the referee jumps into the fight to bash one and help the other. As usual, the liberal referee jumped to the aid of the liberal candidate. If it were football, Holt has been flagged for Holting Trump who was rushing the diminutive quarterback of the other team.
All that aside, the real issue of last night's debate was the economy. Trump cleaned up on the economy against his opponent. But, in the midst of all that Clinton lied. It's her nature, but we've come to recognize in our many years of dealing with her distant relationship to the truth that Clinton lies about things she's hiding.
She's hiding her support of another job killing trade agreement as bad as or worse than the NAFTA that has taken countless jobs and businesses from America and moved them to Mexico. She's hiding her support of TPP...the Trans Pacific Partnership.
Trump pointed out that Clinton has called TPP “the gold standard”. She loved it. She promoted it. And up until recently she was a strong advocate of it with her boss, Barack Obama.
This country has lost billions of dollars to NAFTA, CAFTA, KORUS, and other insider deals involving the WTO, big banks, and ‘global businesses’. We've lost jobs. We've lost entire communities.
But the word on the street is that TPP could destroy what remains of the entire middle class in America as businesses are given cost free incentives to move jobs to Asian countries that pay slave wages to a few dollars an hour.
The truth is that those low wages in Asia will cause DOWNWARD pressure on American wages. Jobs that remain here will be competing with wages as low as those in depression America. That will not cause American wages to rise. It will force them down. It will force them down to what we consider poverty levels.
Poverty waged families are NOT middle class. Be honest. They are poverty class. Workers live a hand to mouth existence, and they scrape to have enough from one week to the next even to support their families.
From her own position as Secretary of State Clinton wrote “This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field.” This is not some newspaper quote. This is a release that SHE wrote from the Department of State. https://www.state.gov/secretary/20092013clinton/rm/2012/11/200565.htm
In that same letter she gave insight into her thinking: “what we're trying to do...globalization...which is inevitable...” she wrote.
Hillary Clinton is fine with globalism, that is, the impoverishing of Americans until they descend to the economic level of the rest of the world. After all, doesn't Clinton own and operate “Clinton Global Initiatives”?
Clinton's close friend, Terry McAuliffe had this to say about Clinton's switch from TPP supporter to campaign opponent of TPP: ““I worry that if we don’t do TPP, at some point China’s going to break the rules — but Hillary understands this,” he said in an interview after his speech on the main stage at the Democratic National Convention. “Once the election’s over, and we sit down on trade, people understand a couple things we want to fix on it but going forward we got to build a global economy.”” http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/terry-mcauliffe-hillary-clinton-tpp-trade-226253
It's another lie. She lied about switching to opposition to TPP, and last night she lied about even her own state department paper that she wrote when she called TPP ‘The Gold Standard’.
Hillary Clinton intends to take American jobs. She is an establishment type whose vast wealth has been made as a politician on a salary of $180,000 a year. Yet, somehow she's worth $200,000,000 million by some writers. Her foundation is said to be worth billions. Impossible on a $180,000 a year salary. We all know it.
No friend of Trump, the Huffington Post wrote about TPP:
“This agreement includes Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam to start. Eventually, its advocates hope, it will include every nation on the Pacific rim, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, Mexico, Russia, and China.Yes, you read that right. China. America is on track for a free-trade agreement with its most voracious mercantilist trade rival.
As I’ve explained before, international trade isn't’t just harmony, it’s largely rivalry, and mercantilism is how the winners play to win. But we naively refuse to play that game. Instead, we have faith in “free” trade, we think free-trade agreements will save us, and we lose.
And if the purely trade aspects weren't’t bad enough, the TPP is also a profoundly anti-democratic agreement which signs away our right to govern our own economy. Despite being nominally a “trade” agreement, it contains provisions which interfere with areas well beyond the bounds of trade.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ian-fletcher/the-transpacific-partners_5_b_8246364.html
So, last night Hillary Clinton directly lied to the American worker about her past support. And her lie on this point calls into question everything else she has said about TPP.
She is out to take your job. She will have it disappear overseas, she will undersell it, she will have you train your replacement, she will bring in illegal aliens to take it, and she will be safe and secure with her 200 million dollars she made on a government job. Somehow.
Make no mistake. The American Worker lost in last night's Hillary debate. And if the American Worker is informed, then all those lives affected will declare Hillary "TPP" Clinton, the loser of last night's debate.

This should be played over and over. It should be made into a Trump campaign ad with what she said last night.
But Trump knows many more and much more. Trump knows more about how the world works than anyone. He's the only one that can dig America out of this hole.
Again I've learned more from Trump's debate than from decades of government schools, gov funded colleges and mainstream media brainwashing called “news” . These institutions are controlled by communists/democrats and they brainwashed most Americans including me for a long time until I became aware of what the media was doing
Yep, she said it AND she wrote it on her secretary of state website. Link above in article.
If the US government intentionally devalued the dollar, they would say that 100 pennies in today’s money is now worth 95 pennies.
If a toy car sell today for 1 dollar at 100 pennies, you’d only have to give 95 pennies to buy it tomorrow....and we’d still call it a dollar.
I am pleasantly surprised that the MSM is generally NOT trashing Trump relentlessly about the debate. That tells us that he did much better than expected and/or Hillary did much worse than expected, and they are hoping to put this out of the news before today is over.
I think her TPP lie is devastating.
Like Dukakis's response to the question of his wife being raped.
That unconcern for suffering hurts Hillary a lot more than her lie IMO.
The average American worker may be unable to discern the difference in the nominees.
Don't you mean that we would have to give 105 pennies to buy it tomorrow while still calling it a dollar?
Yes Hillary Lied.
Hillary was for TPP then lied as Trump said.
Hillary Clinton is the biggest liar ever
It has come out recently (from the FBI) that potus emailed clinton on the unsecured server using an alias. Of course all communications from that office are considered classified, The prosecution of clinton for the manifold email crime cannot go forward without drawing in current potus and that is why no indictment.
There are lots of other opportunities in the clinton legal target rich environment so there is a good chance her aspirations will be foiled regardless.
In saying this I still agree with your first point about the lack of interest by the democrat voter. I blame the destruction of the education system in the USA by scummy, globalist @#@#@$%$^%.
I agree with you at post 22 - Trump understands what is happening. I will go even further - I think it would help him to point out what is obvious to most Americans. It’s not just Hillary - it’s many in his own party who blindly support these deals.
Trump would gain even more support by saying it, because it is true. He is not anti-trade. He wants fair trade and a level playing field. Under those circumstances we are competitive.
I also think in the next debate he needs to bring up energy - not as a source of taxes for the government like his opponent and her party view it or something to kill in the name of global warming, but as a source of jobs, security, and wealth. Trump gets energy and he correctly views our own resources as an opportunity to create all of the above and provide cheaper energy to America and it’s neighbors. His energy policy of “all of the above” is what most Americans believe.
Trump proved she is very ill.
She can no longer remember her Secretary of State days.
