Just In Case You Forgot About The Final Presidential Debate…

The final presidential debate was Thursday, and yet it’s Saturday night and I’m still racking my brain on why no one talked about climate change. But there were other flaws. Aren’t there always?

Sexual Assault

Clinton — Believes that belittling women is wrong.

Trump — Doesn’t know the women who are accusing him of sexual assault. Believes that Hillary’s campaign hired them. Believes that all of the theories are fiction.

What It Sounds Like — Hillary doesn’t know that much about the subject and Trump just doesn’t wanna talk about it.

Money, Finance, Economy Problems

Clinton — Growing economy, wants trade prosecutors. Will not raise taxes on anyone who makes 250,000 dollars a year or less. Wants tuition-free college.

Trump — Wants to lower tax breaks on higher class. “It’s hard to tell allies to pay up if we are constantly cheering them on.” Has bought Chinese steel. Wants to renegotiate NAFTA, cut business taxes.

What It Sounds Like — Hillary wants to paint a rainbow on the entire world and Trump wants to paint a rainbow on the entire upper class. Hillary is striving to be Oprah, and Trump is striving to be OprahWhoLovesYouButOnlyIfYouHaveASmallLoanOfAMillionDollars.

Climate Change

Clinton — Wants to fight climate change. How? When? Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Trump — Absolutely nothing.

What It Sounds Like — Does anybody realize that the world is getting hotter? No? Is it just me? It is? Okay.

Supreme Court

Clinton — Wants the Supreme Court on the side of the American people. Do not reverse marriage rights. We need comprehensive background checks on guns, needs a Supreme Court that supports women’s rights and LGBT+. Disagreed with 2nd amendment use in DC vs. Heller case (Google it!)

Trump — Believes it is imperative that we have right justice and 2nd amendment is being disrespected. Is strongly supported by the NRA. Opposes limits on 2nd amend.

What It Sounds Like — Hillary wants to know if you have a gun, if you’re dangerous. She wants to know what you’re gonna do with a gun once she hands it to you. Trump? Have a gun, don’t have a gun, rob a liquor store, shoot the Vice President. Once again I say, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Abortion

Clinton — Pro-choice. Roe v. Wade supporter, supports Planned Parenthood. “There can be regulation on pro-choice as long the health of the mother is taken into consideration.” Government has no business controlling women’s pregnancy.

Trump — Pro-life. Will only elect and appoint pro-life supporters. In favor of shutting down Planned Parenthood.

What It Sounds Like — Hillary wants you to decide whether or not you should keep the baby. Trump wants the government to decide whether or not you should keep the baby, have the baby, and/or raise the baby. Basically: Are you a mother? Well ask the Supreme Court, they’ll tell ya!

Immigration

Clinton — No deportation for the 11 million undocumented people living in America. Better border security. No wall.

Trump — “We have no country if we have no borders.” New Hampshire’s biggest problem is heroin and drug smuggling. “Doesn’t know” Putin, someone who strongly supports Trump. Wall.

What It Sounds Like — By 2017 we’ll either have a wall on the border of Mexico or no wall. My question is who’s building the ceiling? Oh you think that sounds stupid, building a ceiling on the border of two countries? Well it’s not as stupid as a wall…

Foreign Hot Spots, Nuclear Weapons, and ISIS

Clinton — Does not approve of being causal with nuclear weapons. Does not support American army in ISIS hot spots. Do not fight head on. “If you’re not safe enough to fly, you’re not safe enough to buy guns. Thinks a no-fly zone is good.

Trump — Claims the election is rigged. Undocumented immigrants pay more federal taxes than him. Iran should thank us for the nuclear weapons. Implies that he supports invading Iran or Iraq. Aleppo has fallen.

What It Sounds Like — Should we go to war, should we not go to war? They don’t know.

Medicare, Social Security

Clinton — We have bad health care at the most expensive price. We need to put more money into the Social Sec. fund. We will not cut benefits.

Trump — Repeal and replace Obamacare. Cut taxes, grow economy.

What It Sounds Like — We have terrible healthcare…………….yep.

Why We Should Elect You

Clinton — We need to reach out to people everywhere, we need their talent and commitment and effort. “I have seen the presidency responsibilities up close and I know what to do.”

Trump — I will stand with you. We need to take care of our veterans, police, and our people. We need to make America great, and make America strong!

What It Sounds Like — We need to do stuff. How? When? In what way? Why? With whom? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just in case you forgot, our two most popular presidential candidates are blockheads. To put it nicely of course.
