I’m afraid I have election fatigue.
I’ll limit myself to a few comments on important issues, and leave debates on the supreme court, the second amendment, gun rights and abortion to Americans.
It strikes me that the quality of this debate declined considerably over the second debate.
Hillary told lie after lie. Take her bizarre lie that her vision of open borders in the Americas was just about “energy” (?!).
Here is the full quotation of the relevant passages in her speech to Banco Itau from WikiLeaks:
“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere.” [05162013 Remarks to Banco Itau.doc, p. 28].”Her concern with green energy is clearly just an additional point, and she really did say “open trade” and “open borders.” Hillary is a shameless liar.
“*Hillary Clinton Said We Have To Have A Concerted Plan To Increase Trade; We Have To Resist Protectionism And Other Kinds Of Barriers To Trade. *‘Secondly, I think we have to have a concerted plan to increase trade already under the current circumstances, you know, that Inter-American Development Bank figure is pretty surprising. There is so much more we can do, there is a lot of low hanging fruit but businesses on both sides have to make it a priority and it's not for governments to do but governments can either make it easy or make it hard and we have to resist, protectionism, other kinds of barriers to market access and to trade and I would like to see this get much more attention and be not just a policy for a year under president X or president Y but a consistent one.’ [05162013 Remarks to Banco Itau.doc, p. 32]”

This mad woman repeated her call for a no-fly-zone over Syria – a policy that could lead to nuclear war with Russia. Even though Trump sounded much more sane on Syria, I am afraid he sounds like he has been getting hawkish advice on Iran and Syria too. All in all, however, his call for trying to get along with Russia and not supporting Islamists in Syria makes him superior to Clinton on foreign policy, the most dangerous part of Clinton’s program.
