More taxes and regulations will strangle America. If Hillary wins expect more moves like Ford's small car division out the door. Expect more companies moving to over seas destinations. The US can not be the world policeman. I am disappointed Hillary wasn't asked about regimen change in Syria. It is one of her understated goals. This will lead to conflict with Russia. I am also surprised Hillary wasn't asked what makes her think Iran will work on containment of Nuclear arms when North Korea didn't. Saudi Arabia already has nuclear weapons via Pakistan any time it wants them. Saudi funded the Pakistani nuclear program. Oh well, just my thoughts. .

I wonder why there were many questions about Trump's issues like the birther thing, tax returns and insulting some women but the moderator didn't ask Hillary about the class nton foundation corruption scandle, the emails, Benghazi. So one of Hillary's arguments was saying Trmp is sexist because he says that he doesn't think a woman should be paid the same as a man unless she does as good of a job as a man. Hell, I agree with that. People should be paid according to quality of their work NOT their gender.

Nothing changed my opinion or my vote so far. We have two unpopular candidates vying for the vote. One is a career politician. The other is an outsider. One has actual, specific plans to (hopefully) make things better. One either has no plans or can't/won't talk about them. One says our military is the best in the world. The other says it is a disgrace. One releases tax information going back years. The other hides tax returns for unknown reasons. One did something stupid, admits it and tries to move on. The other admits to nothing even in the face of evidence to the contrary. For me the choice is clear.

My vote is firm, but I have to admit, Trump lost his cool... Clinton looked robotic as she recited her talking points, and that creepy smile of hers looked more like a simper. Added to the eye rolls, the sighs, and the weird little dance she did, certainly she didn't change my mind, but it did give me pause to consider the idea if she is truly that person.
I've seen the bits of video where she looses it over some idiotic question, and with a family member in the Secret Service, I KNOW how much those people despise them...though nothing was said to me about why, it was just the look of horrid distaste on his face as I mentioned her. Did I mention he was on their personal team during the White House years for the Clinton's?

Thought Mr. Trump started well faded at end. This is not Hilary's strength but she stood up well. Concern with Mr. Trump is lack of experience with military and key foreign countries, value of military partnerships.

Shows lack of understanding what motivates and supports military, much less paying for it, appears to underestimate the costs of the military today. Strong risk of using military force to show off when diplomacy or patience might suffice. Think back to Bay of Pigs, and Pres Kennedy had significant military experience. If he is elected how cabinet is staffed will be significant, apparently Gov. Christie will be major influencer on who becomes a direct report.

Hilary brings direct relationships with hundreds of heads of state and key staff around the world. That can make a difference in a crisis. Has experience from the Senate, can be expected to work better with Congress than Pres. Obama. Probably a better understanding of issues in urban America and health care.

Re economy, I used to work on Wall Street, the Dow index was considered everything, we have gone from 8K to in early 2009 to 18K today, banks are not going out of business everyday like second half of 2008. Challenge is to have more Americans share in that growth.

No. it reinforced what I already knew. Clinton was knowledgable, intelligent and experienced, has policy ideas based on a deep understanding of the issues and appeared extremely presidential.

Trump was rude, crude, unprepared and had the temperament and demeanor of a spoiled 10-year-old. He interrupted, made annoying noises and tried to talk over both Mr. Holt and Secretary Clinton whenever they called him out on his many lies, and showed himself for the thin-skinned and ignorant bully that he is.
