| For some reason, though Matt Lauer and crew obviously hated him, they gave him an hour today. It was clear from their questions they were trying to make him look bad, but the longer he was on, the more the crowd was coming around and eventually just cheering for him like crazy. I'm pretty sure it backfired on them. For me a couple of his biggest issues were addressed fairly well.1. His just trust me attitude on the economy and foreign policy. He specifically spelled out the fact that while we are spending billions on European and Asian exports, they are doing next to nothing on the side of fighting ISIS or leading on containing the flood of Syrian immigrants. They (the rest of the world AND us), should be building some safe cities with protection and food THERE in the middle-east rather than incurring the logistical and safety nightmare of bringing them into our countries. The same money will be spent either way, do it THERE where we can watch them and eventually return them once the situation is stabilized.2. Putin wants to fight ISIS, let him! Putin can't stand Obama because he is weak. Once a real leader is in office, Putin will respect him and come to the table ready to deal, and Trump knows how to deal unlike Obama (or Clinton, or Bush, or any of the others) |
