Clinton and Trump Specials on CNN

They were pretty interesting - better than listening to the talking head that are all getting really old

Clinton
Very smart, conservative, didn't know how to handle Obama when he got out in front in 2008, wasn't really too phased by Bill's indiscretions - a very determined person -but lacks that magnetism people want from a president

Trump
Hard worker as well - loves the spotlight, way to cocky, big time bully, banks saved him from personal bankruptcy by figuring they would be better off fighting his way out than put out on the sidelines by bankruptcy - shoots from the hip and doesn't go into detail on anything
Clearly making it up as he goes along

Term Limits for Congress

I think everyone is ready for this election to be over - it lasts forever and it's just waiting to see what Trump will say today while Clinton rides it out

Need a movement for term limits for Congress - say three terms in Senate (18 yrs) and five in House (10 years) - that's 28 years if someone wants to do both.
Need age limits as well - can't run after your 75 - it's a lifestyle for these guys - not a public service

Clinton needs to just stick to "unstable" for Trump - simple and too the point
He proves it almost every day
Then go with the simple stuff - somehow that he is a bullshit artist making it up as he goes along
Five kids with three wives is another good one

Clintons got to learn how to make fun of Trump

Clintons campaing needs to learn how to make fun of Trump and get under his skin -

What color is is hair today - yellow, orange or blond
He's a 70 year old man with a bad comb over
He's been bankrupt 4 times and now wants to play with house money - the taxpayers

Clinton can't do this - maybe Kaine can do it - not as harsh as the Republicans - more as all just fun

It is hard to see how either Trump or Hillary can bring the country together
I give Hillary a better chance - she is hardworking/smart -but can't get out of her own way on controversies and just can't relate

Meanwhile - Trump is just nuts
As a side note - so is the Republican party

State Politics seem to be able to get things done - while in Washington all they do is pass meaning less resolutions and cannot tackle any tough issues - guns/immigration - which will be hard to do and take compromise - which is a dirty word in Washington

I don't know how Trump replacing his campaign manager will change anything - he's still Trump.

It will be interesting to see if he makes it thru the convention - I'm guessing he will - I'm sure Hillary hopes he does.  She's got to be sitting back thinking - after all these years - how did I get to run against this guy - finally got some luck running my way - but of course - it's not over yet.
