Donald Trump killed my buzz and his campaign.
So I come back from a brilliant journalism event, happy and proud of my networking skills. You know when you have that calm and composed buzz after a few drinks, which doesn’t tire you totally and you can still work a bit?….Yes you know what I am talking about.
After coming back quite late and helping myself to some delicious fish and chips, I tuned in to see the last presidential debate as I was in some kind of ‘tweeting frenzy’ and I needed something good to tweet about.
It was the worst buzzkill ever.
Although I will say that the third debate was much better than the first two but I never thought that one candidate will shoot down his own chances in a profound manner and just LET the opposition walk over the whole thing.
Vladamir Putin will be a happy man if he has seen the debate. I have never heard his name taken so many times and that too so vigorously and with such passion by any American on any national stage.
Donald Trump continuously bashed Hilliary Clinton on the fact as to how she was outsmarted by Putin on many occassions. Regardless of whatever treaty or deterrent there might have been between the US and Russia, there has always been a layer of cold and unspoken enmity between nations.
Taking Putin’s name so many times and that too giving him the credit of outmanouvering a potential American president certainly doesn’t work well for the image US has on the world platform.
Whatever chances Trump had of winning even after accusations of sexual assault, after the last debate has gone down the drains.
Throughout the debate Hillary seemed much more composed and had more concrete reasons and provisions. One of the characteristic which might work against Trump is his habit of dismissing everything as being rigged whenever something is going against him.
He took this habit of his to another level when he shed doubt on the whole American electoral system by refusing to admit the fact that he would readily admit defeat if Hillary Clinton won the election.
Through this, he made a mockery of the system and the people who will be voting. People like a confident winner. What they don’t like a ‘sore loser’. That is exactly what Trump made himself look like on national television.
Hillary did not even have to try and score points herself. It was given to her quite easily by her overenthusiastic-wall-building-opponent.
I am not even talking about the fact as to how many Republican votes he will lose just for making the ‘Nasty Woman’ comment on Hillary. All these mistakes are cheap and could have been easily avoided.
A true politician knows when and where to use certain languages and words. After such a debate and Trump wouldn’t dare question the political experience of Hillary. Trump’s performance in this last debate laid bare his inexperience which may ultimately cost him the seat.
