The Art of the Deal

The art of the deal went bust last night. Donald Trump has charisma, style, and millions of dollars,, but Hillary has a lawyer’s mouth, patience, and thirty years of practice in a trade that Trump has only recently gotten into. He didn't go for Clinton’s dirty laundry while she hung out load after load of his. She used a tactical retreat when challenged on her missing emails, which being brought up at that particular moment was a simple bait and switch move to try to defecate the IRS question he was dodging. A simple “I'm sorry, I made a mistake” by Mrs. Clinton put thirty thousand emails right  back into the in-box beside Obama’s birth certificate. When she pressed him on his tax returns, and insinuated that quite possibly that Trump had paid no income tax, he said that showed he was “smart.” That means the rest of us are dumb, right? This would have been an excellent chance to trot out the Canadian Clinton Foundation, but Trump, by this time was pulling himself off the mat, asking who won the fight.

Of course we had to endure two old white folks diving into the racial tension in the country. There was so much pandering I was expecting them to start saying how much they loved watermelon. Oh wait! Trump did that on Cinco de Mayo with his taco salad. Trump may have written “The Art of the Deal,” but apparently Hillary READ it. There were no great moments for Donald, but Hillary provoked crowd noise at times, even though the audience had been told to remain silent during the debates.

It makes you wonder what will happen to the art of the deal when it's Putin standing there. Both candidates took off after ISIS, Hillary, and Trump pledging to liquidate it within hours of taking the oath, but ISIS is like that rat that traps can't kill, and feasts every night with one hundred descendants waiting to take his first place should he fall. Trump tried to blame ISIS on Hillary and Obama, but truth be known ISIS is the bastard child of the artful dissection of the Middle East. Back in the day we had three or four strong men in that region, which we removed, allowing all the rats to take a turn.

The shine went off of Trump's hair last night, and if he doesn't tighten up that will cost him that six or seven points at the polls that may very well put the Clintons back in office. Most people form their opinion during the last of a presidential race, and that's normal because the gloves off nature of those days prove, or disprove a winner. Hillary knows how to goad “The Donald.” Subtle little things like praising Michelle Obama’s speech at the democratic national convention. You remember that one. You also heard it at this year’s republican convention. It was suggested that Trump may not even come to the next two debates. In the book “Deep Survival” by Laurence Gonzales, it studies why people frequently do exactly the opposite from what it would take to survive. Same thing in politics. It would be a stupid move, but y'all will all stand back snake amazed if he does it, and then blames it on the microphone. For you information, Donald Trump was sucking snot after Hillary’s first punch. That was the sniffing sound you heard. Shucks, even Cruz ate a bugger!
