COMMON SENSE: I remember the day after the 1980 Presidential Debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. When I went into the Political Science Department at Emory, where I was working on a Ph.D., all of the professors were ecstatic because they thought Jimmy Carter had “cleaned that cowboy’s clock.” Being the only person in the department for Reagan, I was crushed, but their glee turned out to be short lived. Within a few days, it was clear that Reagan had won. Although Carter’s responses were more technically precise, he came across as un-warm and devoid of emotions. Reagan, by way of contrast, was genuine, warm, kind, and personable. Carter never recovered. The cowboy won, and we had the Reagan Revolution.
Last night, Hillary was technically on target, but she was also mean-spirited, smug, and unlikeable. Trump, by way of contrast, seemed like somebody you would like to have over for lunch.
Perhaps this is why all of the polls said he won the debate and Hillary didn’t.

COMMON SENSE: The way things are unfolding with Hillary Clinton’s email scandal is exactly the way things unfolded with the Watergate scandal from 1972-74. At first, there was a story or two about the break in, but there was no momentum. This happened for quite some time, just like it is happening now.
COMMON SENSE: The reason FBI Director Comey gave for not recommending indictment was that there was “no intent” on Hillary’s part, but now we know that’s not true. When Congress issued a subpoena and a Preservation Order to Hillary, the State Department, and the IT company, concerning Hillary’s emails, they had not yet been destroyed. Defying the subpoena, which is a felony—Obstructing Justice—the emails were destroyed, using the “Bleach Bit” program to do so. Now, not even God can read them.
