‘Trump is Making More and More Sense’

The results of the November election will affect American families for years to come — the stakes are high. As the candidates waged a bitter verbal war onstage last night during their third and final debate — with Trump calling Clinton a “nasty woman” and Clinton saying Trump is “dangerous” — families were paying close attention.

At a North Reading, Massachusetts, Dunkin’ Donuts Thursday morning, the debate was a hot topic. While the Boston area is notoriously liberal, several customers reflected on gains they felt Trump made during the debate.

“Bill Clinton first pulled the national conversation into the gutter when he said, ‘I did not have sexual relations with that woman,'” said one grandmother.

“Could any other figure [besides Trump] take [Hillary] on like this, exposing her the way he has?” said millennial Bradley O’ Neill — who declined to share who he’ll be voting for in November. “People rip him for being brash and saying whatever he wants, but it takes just that personality to ‘go there,’ you know? I see him as this almost lonely figure taking on the whole machine, restoring justice. And people respect that. He is making more and more sense.”

“He was getting to her for sure,” said the millennial’s coffee companion, who is a Clinton supporter. “I was worried she would either pass out or start getting too intense — her face does weird things when she gets mad,” the young woman added. “It also worried me that Trump was so calm. I have to say it was definitely his best debate.”

One Baltimore, Maryland, mother and grandmother was glad to hear Trump disavow the alleged groping of women in his past. The Baltimore voter said what really matters to families in this subject area is Bill Clinton’s past legal parsing of language to escape his own guilt during his steamy affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

“Bill Clinton first pulled the national conversation into the gutter when he said, ‘I did not have sexual relations with that woman,’ and then distinguished oral sex from other sexual behaviors,” the voter told LifeZette in a phone call. “Do Americans remember that? They should. That was disgusting, and the worst thing is, for a generation now kids have believed that. Why wouldn’t they? It came from the president of the United States. That is Bill Clinton’s legacy — kids participating in unwanted behaviors because, ‘Hey, it’s not sex.'”

“Our kids have had to have talks with their own children about this that are embarrassing — but you just have to now, to keep them safe,” she added.

(Compelling side note: In 2007, researchers at the University of Kentucky-Lexington believed that Bill Clinton’s assertion that he “did not have sexual relations” with Monica Lewinsky could have led many young people to discount oral sex as sex. The study was entitled, “Sex Redefined: The Reclassification Of Oral-Genital Contact.”)

Another debate takeaway is the mainstream media’s uproar about Trump’s refusal to promise last night, when asked on the spot, that he would accept the results of the election in November.

Trump told moderator Chris Wallace, “I will look at it at the time. I’m not looking at anything now. I’ll look at it at the time. What I’ve seen — what I’ve seen is so bad. First of all, the media is so dishonest and so corrupt, and the pile-on is so amazing. The New York Times actually wrote an article about it, but they don’t even care. It’s so dishonest. And they’ve poisoned the mind of the voters.”

John Brubaker, a truck driver from Hampton, Iowa, is fed up with both the mainstream media and the “underhandedness” of the Clinton camp.

“Use logic here, people. The WikiLeaks [revelations] and this new video of the [Clinton] campaign people planning to start fights with Trump supporters at rallies prove they are breaking the law — or at least being very shady — to win this election. Doesn’t it then make sense that we should question the results if Clinton does win? They will literally do anything to win. Anything,” said Brubaker.

“Why does she need this so badly?” he added. “It’s a total power grab with her. Go enjoy your grandkids, for heaven’s sake!”
