The fact that Trump and Hillary both made it this far in the presidential campaign must mean that they are both fairly smart. During the presidential debate on September 26th 2016, both Trump and Hillary made some good points. While Trump owns many businesses that are worth great amounts of money, he has never really been a politician. Yes, he is very smart and knows how to run a business, but he doesn't necessarily know how to run an entire country. Hillary Clinton, however, has previously run for the position of president, so she seems like she knows what she's doing more so than Trump does. She seemed very prepared for the debate while Trump acted like he wasn't nearly as prepared as Hillary.
During the debate, the issue of gun control was brought up. Hillary said that people that are not American citizens as well as people who are on terrorist watch should not be allowed to buy guns, which is a good point that I agree with. Dangerous people should not be allowed to own a gun. Hillary said earlier in the debate that guns should be taken away from people who do not need them, such as civilians. Now that is something that I do not agree with. In my opinion, civilians should be allowed to carry a gun to protect themselves. Trump said that guns should be taken away not from everyone, but from dangerous people, such as gang members. Now that I agree with. I think that people should have the right to defend themselves. If a gun is necessary for that, the so be it.
Both Trump and Hillary said that America's economy is in the worst state it has been in since the Great Depression. I think that this is true. Our economy's current state is a wreck. Hillary believes that the wealthy people should help support the economy, which sounds an awful lot like welfare. Welfare is where people who make more money have to give some of their money to people who have no jobs. I do not agree with Hillary's belief. Just because people make more money than others does not mean that they should help out people who make less money by giving them "hand outs". Lazy people should not be given free money just because they do not want to get up and find a job. Those people should be provided with a job and not free money.
In addition to her statement about gun control, Hillary said that if a young black male were to do the same thing as a young white male, he would be more at risk of getting arrested or hurt. This is most definitely not the case. Race may still be an issue in our society today, but not everyone is a racist. Not everyone is going to hurt blacks and not every cop hates black people. Just because one cop hurts one black person doesn't make him a racist person. Cops aren't killing black people just because they are black. The fact that the person the cop killed is black is just a coincidence and not a race issue.
