Debate Review

  I find myself avoiding Facebook more and more these days as Presidential campaigns heat up. Facebook is and will continue to be all blown up with people on all sides of the issues who just want to be angry and lash out at anybody who disagrees with their point of view.  I confess that is my normal pattern and tendency as well, which is part of the reason to avoid the Facebook discussions of highly-charged political and social issues. 

   I personally thought the Fox news moderators were less inclined to grind personal pet points of view in last week’s debates than CNN, CBS, MSNBC news people have been in past debates. 

      Megyn Kelly’s swipe at Governor Kasich’s religious views was a bit snarky, but it did not bother me because I agreed with her.  
   I like Governor Kasich.  I was proud to have voted for him twice and even contributed a little money toward his first gubernatorial campaign.  He has turned Ohio around after the previous democrat regime and its cronies put Ohio in debt and all but destroyed Ohio. But Kasich’s religious inclinations are a little bit too emotional for my taste. What he considers divine inspiration looks like an over-heated fantasy wish-life to me.   

  I liked what Dr. Carson had to say in his closing statement about the fact that we are in the midst of a cultural war and we must fight to win the minds and hearts of our young people whose understanding of life and their role in life has been diminished because of the failures of education which has tried to brainwash them by telling them what they should think instead of teaching them how to think.

    It’s obvious that the media does not like Trump and they will do anything to try to discredit him because he does not play their games.   Trump is a threat to all media – liberal and conservative.   That is why he is so popular among the people.  The people are sick and tired of the same old games that have caused the downward spiral of our country and the world culture in general. 

    Though I don't like Trump, I would vote for him before I would vote for somebody like Christy who talks about crossing the aisle and getting along with the opposition.  That attitude is what gave us so many of the problems that are part of our cultural and political rot.  
   I would prefer Trump over Jeb Bush.  Jeb is a really nice guy, as are all members of the Bush family.  But he is too quick to apologize and kowtow when he thinks he may have offended somebody.  We've had too much of that as well.   
      I think Trump is an arrogant, self-centered, self-important jerk.  He proved that in the debate and in his responses and comments about Megyn Kelly afterwards. 
    I agree with my husband when he describes Trump as something of a bully.  But Trump may be just what America needs right now.
