Dear Mr. Trump:
I would wager that you are not one who suffers lengthy preambles gladly, so I will get straight to the point: You could have crushed Hillary's "tax returns" ambush with one sentence. Here it is:
"The Middle East is in chaos, our allies are endangered, our enemies are emboldened, our reputation among our international neighbors is sullied, and our nation's citizens are robbed of work and imperiled on their own soil by immigrant criminals and islamic terrorists thanks to the foreign policies that YOU executed during your tenure as Secretary of State in the first four years of this administration; yet YOU seem to think that the most important issue here is whether or not I release my tax returns."
Mr. Trump, I invite you to take my opinion for whatever worth to which you choose to ascribe. But I also implore you to guard yourself against the opposition's attempts to distract you from the main issues.
I know that when you are hit, you hit back. It is a quality that endears you to Americans like no other Republican candidate has in decades. And I personally do not care about your tax returns. What I do care about is that you convince a sufficient number of voters that you will be a faithful steward of the American blood and treasure to which you will be entrusted as president of the United States. Allowing yourself to be distracted by something as silly and irrelevant as your tax returns-especially during a live debate watched by millions of voters- will not help you.
Hammer home the point that Hillary has proven herself to be an untrustworthy, incompetent, and treacherous deal-maker whose greed and conniving borne of a lust for personal power and riches has cost the lives of Americans and jeopardized the security of our nation. Hammer home the point that Hillary is no friend of women. Hammer home that Hillary is no friend to Blacks, Asians, or Hispanics. Never let up on those points, because there is documented proof to support them. These are truths that Hillary cannot escape. Hit her with them relentlessly. And never allow her a chance to swing back with distractions, as she was allowed to do (with the assistance of the "moderator") in the first debate.
So, Mr. Trump, that is my "two cents" for you. I pray for your safety and for God's blessings be upon you, your family, and this great nation.
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.
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. :-)
Outstanding post!

Excuse me, but that’s “now youse can’t leave”
Hopefully, he'll log that as a lesson-learned and address it when they re-engage in October.
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 ..
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...
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...
