The second
presidential Debate between the Republican Nominee Donald Trump and Democratic
candidate Hillary Clinton is coming off on October 9,2016 at 9.00 p.m. at
Washington University in St. Louis. The
first debate was held on September 26,2016 at New York’s Hofstra University.
One may anticipate
that this time too Hillary would excel and keep her intellectual tempo higher
than that of her Republican Contender. In fact, there is a sea difference
between the caliber of both of these candidates for the upcoming 2016 election
to be held this year on November 18.
Hillary is
highly polished, eloquent, well-educated and equipped with a vast reservoir of
worthwhile experience in Senate, public service, diplomacy and interstate
relations spanning over 20 years. During the first debate she displayed
exemplary poise, restrain and grace in articulating her goals as the president
and rebutting the outlandish logic of his rival.
Understandably
both have a part of their lives that is dotted with mistakes, failures, moral
lapses, and erratic behavior. But by a fair count Donlad exceeds his
counterpart in a huge way. In such shady endeavors as making money through wrong
and deceitful manners, excessive and unbridled sex pursuits and sleazy
mannerism Hillary has no equation or parallel at all with Donlad.
Donald’s relationship
with all kinds of women and off the cough indecent and lewd remarks belittling
women are now voluminously being carried by the American press and beyond that.
Each time when a news about the wayward incident of Donald is unfolded he has
the temerity to own it and tender public apology. What is the guarantee that if
elected his fondness for the fair sex would dwindle or disappear altogether and
he would become sinless evangelist?
Of
late, he particularly apologized for his 2005 lewd comments about the women
after the video became public. 2005 video surfaced. In that video he discussed
groping women with former "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush. Earlier
he denied that he had made such comments or even met that woman.
Some
time ago he
lashed out in retaliation, at Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly with a sleazy rebuke
because of her question as to why he was so disrespectful to the women by
portraying them as pigs and dogs etc. He said to CNN, “You could see there was
blood coming out of her(Kelly) eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”. That
comment filthy comment demonstrated to what extent Donlad can go in
berating the women.
If
evangelists and white supremacists and anti-immigrant’s lobbies support him then
it is not a cogent support but speaks for mala-fide partisanship. The whole
world and even saner sections of the American society are crying wolf if Donlad
is elected president. There must be some burden of proof and truthfulness
behind those protests and outburst against Donald.
Donald’s
recklessness, his past wayward conduct, his evasion and manipulation in payment
of taxes for decades speak for a slippery character that can repeat the same
practices while presiding over the country.
His general
knowledge, his command over the foreign affairs and his elucidation of opinion
on national and international issues seems to be perfunctory and superficial.
Since he is prone to subterfuge and making false claims and statements he cannot
be relied while delving in the international arena and having interaction with
the outside world. He has already annoyed many countries by his wild and
unguarded outpourings.
He would pursue a politics of division and discrimination evidenced from
his denunciation of minorities, Muslim Americans, Mexicans and women, etc.
Ostensibly If he wants to impose stringent restrictions on immigration that how
one can differentiate between a pluralistic and cosmopolitan America with
Russia and China and many other countries that don’t allow the people from
around the world to come through a well laid-out immigration process and lead
decent lives. United States is an oasis and a haven for the uprooted and
wrongly persecuted people from around the world.
Donald Trump possesses a unique and
peculiar temperament. At best he is a non-conformist. Irrespective of the
caution and restraint needed in canvassing, all the more for the highest office
of the president of the United States, he is prone to making statements and
remarks in his public rallies and media interviews that could be termed as wild
and indiscreet. Either he willfully projects himself as daring in condemnation
of his opponents or there is a kind of method in his recklessness.
After the
first debate Mr. trump spewed out vulgar remarks about a former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, He engaged himself in a phase of recrimination, denial and finally admissions
and apologies. The same happened in case of his filthy remarks about women
known as which were also followed by apology.
After the discloser
of his sleazy comments about women made in 2005 many stalwarts within the
Republican party have called upon Donlad Trump to drop out of the election
race. However, he has refused to heed their counsel and vowed to remain in the
contest till last. At the same time many prominent republican politicians
including Paul Ryan the speaker of the United States House of Representatives
have withdrawn their support for Mr. Trump.
Mike Pence his candidate for vice president has decided to quit. It is
going to be a huge setback for Donlad trump.
Despite a storm of proven
serious allegations Donald Trump vowed on Saturday to remain in the race. With
a divided support within the GOP and his close colleagues abandoning him it
would be utterly unimaginable for Donald Trump to win the 2016 presidential
elections. However, we have to watch hoe the things turn out and in case of
Donlad quitting who will replace him: Mike pence or someone.
Yet it is going to be too
late for new entrant to appease the voters and get majority of votes to defeat
the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. While Donald Trump might soon be going to
the sidelines, the chances of Hillary Clinton become much brighter and stronger
to win the 2016 elections for the prestigious position of the president of the
United states.
