Donald Trump destroys Hillary Clinton in the Second Presidential Debate

Politico

Donald Trump is back in business. After a rough week of the media harassing him over something most people do not care about or find relevant to policy issues today, he reinvigorated his supporters at the Second Presidential Debate.

The first debate consisted mostly of yelling and interruptions on both sides. Lester Holt was unfit as a moderator, and very few actual policy questions were asked. The debate served mostly as a forum for the candidates to attack each other about personal issues, and when it came to the few policy-related discussions, Donald Trump held back from making some potentially very effective comments.

However, he did not hold back Sunday night. He did not interrupt Hillary Clinton unless he was being slandered outright, and he maintained a presidential composure. He addressed many areas of Clinton's hypocrisy and dishonesty including her own husband's treatment of women (even while in the White House as President) and her enabling of it, her own use of the same tax loopholes (which she attacks him about but has not changed in her thirty plus years in Washington), how she left our men to die in Benghazi, and how she should be in jail over her careless handling of classified and top secret information via e-mail. He also called out the moderators for their bias towards Clinton.

When asked about the tape of a personal conversation with Billy Bush in which sexually explicit things were said, he handled the situation very well. That tape was brought out of nowhere for no reason but to overshadow the leaked excerpts of Hillary's paid Wall Street speeches (which Bernie Sanders pushed for her to release). Words that were said by Trump eleven years ago are no worse than Bill Clinton's affairs twenty years ago, and honestly, both of those things are irrelevant to issues such as ISIS, a crushing national debt, and a failing healthcare system.

Clinton appeared caught off guard by Trump's preparation for the debate. It was obvious that she had to spin false answers to some of the hard questions. For example, in a leaked e-mail she said politicians need private opinions and public opinions, implying dishonesty to the public, and she somehow blamed Abraham Lincoln for that statement.

She smirked and giggled through the whole debate as if it were some kind of joke. America's problems are not issues to laugh about, and smiling about them is not presidential, professional behavior.

The final question spoke volumes about the two candidates. When asked what one thing they admire about the other is, Hillary seemed to be at a loss for words and came up with something about his kids, while Donald gave her an honest compliment for being a fighter who does not give up.

Donald Trump is being a better politician than Hillary Clinton at this point. The media is trying to deny that, but facts are facts. Donald Trump is the more presidential candidate who has real solutions and will really take action. The Trump campaign is not going down without a fight, and after this debate, it is clear that they will put up a good one.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
