The Final Debate: Clinton Won 3 For 3

Chris Wallace was the best part.

The Final Debate: Clinton Won 3 For 3
Movie TV Tech Geeks

On October 19, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump had their final face-off before the election season finally comes to an end.

It has been a long and sufferable road, and we finally were able to listen to the two candidates answer some of the most important questions that are riding on this election.

The debate started off with the candidates responding to the question of their Supreme Court choices and what effect their very different possible appointments could have on this nation.

Of course, they have very different people in mind since they have values and beliefs that are polar opposite from each other.

Clinton explains that the person she supports will not try to repeal Roe v. Wade or equal marriage laws, and they will make sure that although the Second Amendment will be protected, there should be stricter laws for gun accessibility.

Trump, on the other hand, would want to appoint someone who would do the exact opposite: repeal Roe v. Wade, reverse the equal marriage laws and make sure that anyone who wants a gun can get one.

He then decided to call out Ruth Bader Ginsburg, our liberal Supreme Court Justice superhero, saying her remarks towards him in the early stages of the campaign were hurtful to him and millions of other people who support him. I'm sorry, wasn’t he the one who said that words are just words?

The debate then turned to abortion, as Trump proclaimed that he will immediately overturn Roe v. Wade, which would never be allowed to happen anyway. He continued to use horrific rhetoric, which to me sounded like language someone would use to insult and condemn women who have exercised the freedom to choose.

The circus show proceeded from there, asking Trump for a response to the accusations the nine women made against him. He immediately shames them and denies the accusations and goes onto saying that he, in fact, has the most respect women.

*Cue laughter.

Clinton continued to rise above, while he went even lower, by defending women’s healthcare and proclaiming that the government should have no say in the matter, in any context.

The debate got quite combative from there, as the topics changed from Mexico to Vladimir Putin.

Chris Wallace, the Fox News anchor and moderator of the debate, finally asked Trump about his recent remarks regarding the validity of the election.

Trump repeated over and over again that he will look at it at the time of the election, and after being pressed by Wallace, he then concluded by saying, “I will leave you in suspense.”

Not much else worth repeating happened at the debate. Of course, like with any of the debates this election season, there was name calling and both candidates baiting and interrupting — some more than others.

I will say the best part of this debate was the moderator, Chris Wallace. I felt that besides Anderson Cooper, he did the best job at keeping the candidates on topic and holding both accountable. He insisted on getting the answers not only out of Trump, but also Clinton as well. And although I have a clear favorite and am very open about who I support, I also expect my candidate to be held to the same standards as the opposing candidate.

By the end, Clinton was the clear winner, composed, poised and most of all prepared. And while Donald Trump answered more questions than he ever has, he still used his aggressive banter which made it hard to even listen to him after a while.

I think the one thing that both conservatives and liberals can agree on is that we are all counting down the days until this election is over.

It seems like it has been too long since we judged each other by our values and actions, and not by who we are voting for.

Until then, watch the news, get informed, keep an open mind and do not leave this election up to chance.

Go vote, because too many people have fought, protested and died for your right to share your voice and be a part of this great democracy.

So here is to you, my nasty women and bad hombres, happy election!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
