Key Points

  • Trump: US being used unfairly by other countries, portrayal of fear, bubble going to burst
  • Clinton: Plans for economy, ISIS, crime, etc.
  • Opinion: 1-0 for Hillary. While the bubbles are something to be watchful of, a climate of fear is not healthy. There’s a need to be rational, aware & plan.
