Trump is far from my ideal, but I believe he is the right man for the times. There are a lot of great characters in our history that were not a perfect package.
Debates aren't what they used to be, so I'm not bothered by performance. Last night was nothing but a recitation of talking points, commercials, and rally speeches.
The dearth of good people interested in running for public office is concerning. Look at our Congress. Makes it hard to maintain any optimism.
My take on the lack of people willing to run for office is that if you’ve ever said or done anything much less unethical but politically incorrect, it will be found out and spread far and wide. That’s discounting the physical danger that seems to be present more than it should be in politics these days, particularly at the lowest levels.

Except for the portion where Hillary said, “perhaps he won’t release his tax returns because he’s paid zero income taxes for the last few years”.
Trump as she was talking leaned over and said, “That makes me smart”.
Middle income Americans are carrying the load. Yea yea, I hear all the time, the top 1% pays 80% of the taxes.
So, if true, then why every year a list of the top ten or twenty or fifty corporations that pay 0% taxes.
Point is, Trump may think it’s cute and smart and simply following the laws by skirting paying taxes, but it doesn’t set well with middle class Americans who are being hammered.
Trump needs to learn to put a filter between his brain and his lips.
