Presidential Debate 2016 For Dummies

Much of America witnessed the comedy of a debate between Presidential Candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton that occurred Monday night. During this debate, America is supposed to make a decision between either of these two fine(??) people to govern the United States of America as a whole for the next four years. After witnessing this debate, many people have decided to write their own names on the ballot. I decided to take notes and provide a recap for those of you who had to work or simply decided not to watch the debate.

Let me start by saying that when Hillary walked on stage, she looked much thinner. Conservatives will say it’s because of her illness, but liberals will say it was her spicy red pantsuit. Speaking of which, I couldn't help but notice that Hillary, the Democratic nominee, was sporting the Republican Party's color and Donald Trump was sporting blue, the Democratic Party's color. Did they plan this? Did they actually agree to coordinate? Probably not, but it was pretty bizarre to me.

Alright, time for the actual debate. As expected, the debate spoke a lot about economy. The moderator began the debate with Hillary Clinton. Per usual, these politicians never answer the question they have been asked.

Secretary Clinton then started speaking about how she wanted to fix the economy by building our infrastructure, creating more clean energy, and raising minimum wage... *eye roll*. She also said she wants to help families that are living paycheck to paycheck.

Trump did not like anything she was saying. Trump stated that that we need to stop letting other countries piggyback off our resources and economy and we need to start putting the USA first. So then I was all GO AMERICA!

The focus was then back on Hillary who of course said that we need to readjust our tax system, produce jobs, other stuff people want to hear, and then she took a very low-key (maybe high-key?) jab at Trump and his family's wealth by reminding everyone that Trump got his start through a loan his father gave him. How dare he take advantage of that, right? She proceeded to inform everyone that her father was a small business owner and he did everything by hand and by himself, aka more shade.

Trump told everyone that we are 20 trillion dollars in debt, as if we didn't already know. This is where everything started getting blurry and boring. The debate turned into Clinton repeating everything on her commercials and Trump explaining how awesome he is. I started to notice how much this resembled a reality TV show. This is where the recap gets interesting.

So at this point, Hillary started talking about how the experts that she hired think that she is the better candidate and I was like NO WAY!

So then Trump decided to go back to the clean energy issue and told Hillary that her plan for clean energy sucks and it never worked to start with. According to Trump, that was part of the reason that we were in such a bad economic crisis. Well, Hillary didn't like that so she was all


We also learned that Trump refuses to be interrupted, but he will interject to defend himself at any moment because no way will he be treated unfairly.

Moving on, Hillary shamelessly self-promo'd and told everyone to check out her mix tape. Well, not exactly, but she did tell everyone to check out her website and other social media outlets and provided everyone with the details. So then naturally, Trump rolled his eyes but was all like "same."

Trump trashed President Obama's golf habit.

Hillary Clinton apparently has a plan to destroy ISIS, but Trump doesn't believe her. He said she is all talk and no action.

Right after this, Hillary brought up that Donald Trump's tax information is not public, to which he responded with a bargain. He will make his tax information public as soon as Hillary starts telling the truth about her 33,000 emails.

So then Hillary was all like "oh no he di'int" and then told us she thinks that if Trump does release his tax information we will find that he is not as rich or charitable as he says he is. She also claims that Trump owes money to Wall Street... scandalous!

Of course the topic of race came up. Hillary thinks that our officers are much too harsh and need to be re-trained. While Trump agreed that we need to train better, he thinks that we need to remain vigilant.

The banter went on and on and on and many people got sick of watching it, myself included. Hillary will proceed to bring down Trump and Trump will continue to defend himself for the rest of the election season. We will see who comes out on top.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you.
