Last night my wife and I waited up to watch the debate with great interest as both of us missed the first one as we were in Liverpool at the Labour Party Conference.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald\n Trump was on the back foot going into this debate with his lwed \ncomments about women which he justified by calling it locker room \nbanter. I was looking for a good performance and detail on Trumps \npolicies on the burning questions on health care, education, energy, \nforeign policy and jobs et cetra. The republicans needed this \nperformance to stop his campaign going into free fall after the recent \npolling results showing a downturn. In my opinion, it was not a complete\n disaster, but I did feel a lot of what he said was reactionary to Mrs \nClinton rather than his own original policy. Mrs Clinton was able to \ntalk from experience and spoke first on answering most of the questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was evidence, that Mr Trump\u2019s answers on policy were weak, and sometimes rambling. I was surprised that he broke ranks with his running mate, Mike Pence and said he had not spoken to him. His biggest flaw however was in body language. Whilst Mrs Clinton thought through every expression and move, he looked lost and spent a lot of time lurking and at times looking over her shoulder.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mrs Clinton\u2019s response \u2013 \u201cthat\u2019s a lie; check my website<\/strong>\u201d \u2013 was\u00a0a good way of avoiding the facts debate and talking more about policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\n could not work out if either Clinton or Trump connected well with the \ntown hall audience. Due to the lack of time, the audience were \ndiscouraged to applaud and make comments, It seemed they were more on \nlookers than participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr\n Trump, stalking around the stage like a grouchy bear, picking fights \nwith the moderators and hurling abuse at the Clintons did him no \nfavours. As for Mrs Clinton, she was calm to the point of being smug \u2013 a\n trait she showed in some of the primary debates. Smiling beatifically \nat the camera can eventually grate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n biggest threat to her winning the election is her own complacency, she \nwent to the debate to not lose rather than win convincingly. Many \nrepublicans were asking themselves, can they take a risk with Trump or \nlet the Democratic win a third term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\n can probably work out who\u2019s side I am on, I hope the American people \ncan take the higher ground and elect Mrs Hilary Clinton into office a \nmore suitable candidate. it is a difficult and stressful for both \nfamilies of Clinton and Trump, as it is a personal drama that is \nunfolding around the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\n two clear choices for the American people, not just two human beings, \nbut between two futures that will make America great both home and \nabroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
