I still Say his best answer to the BC would have been, “What difference, at this point, does it make.”. That would have stung her badly. A swing and a miss. He wasted five minutes at least defending himself. He could have spent the time pointing out her corruption and Zero’s connection to it. Instead he made it about him.
i agree. he wasted too much time on defense and not as much on offense (of course it was 2 against 1). they say defense wins championships, but it doesn’t win debates.
Excellent response. Excellent. His team has to work with him and go over all the points of attack.
He didn’t handle the birth certificate well. They asked, so he had to defend himself. He could have said it was brought up by people close to Hillary and her supporters. It had nothing to do with race as past white presidents have been questioned on their places of birth, and he also questioned Ted Cruz. If he really wanted to get into it, he could have talked about how it has nothing to do with place of birth but everything to do with Obama’s unique background with his father, that literary agent saying he was born in Kenya, his grandma saying he was born in Kenya (that’s disputed by liberal sites), and that it’s not racial because it was specific to Obama. It’s not like it would have been asked about someone like Ben Carson (who Trump ran against) or Corey Booker. (This is probably too much to explain during a debate, but it’s hard when you have to clarify positions and your opponent remains unchallenged on anything by the moderator.)
