Sounds like she’s got this…

The Clinton camp believes that Mr. Trump is most insecure about his intelligence, his net worth and his image as a successful businessman, and those are the areas they are working with Mrs. Clinton to target.


Do y’all enjoy watching presidential debates? I do in the primaries, but I dread them during the general election season. There’s just too much at stake, and I’ve seen too many debates turn on stupid and meaningless soundbites and media spin, so I watch them much as I’d view a slasher movie — peeking through my fingers and muttering, “Dear God, what are you thinking?!? No! Don’t go into the basement!!!”

We all expected w to be a blithering idiot (and he was), but all the media focused on was Gore's sighing.

Presidential Debate Moderators 2016
Moderators for the 2016 presidential debates have not been selected as of yet. Issues of finding someone who is not biased have come up in the selection process but sources tell CNNMoney that the Commission on Presidential Debates plan to announce the first presidential debate moderator after Labor Day.

Yup. That is a problem if you look at this year's top notch journalists & spokespeople.

Who does that leave us?

But have to agree---Trumps ego is always front and center.

I would want both to stick to issues affecting our country.
