The election is a month and a half away. Hillary and Trump appeared in the first Presidential debate and talked -- entertained, and fascinated the audience. In general, they kept their composure. About the winner, some say Hillary won and other say Trump has more votes.
Trump's comment such as he will support Hillary if she wins, or he has a estate in Washington anyway may indicate his humility. Trump's gesture on his humility, however, is a part defending himself against the Republican establishment. Trump violated the implicit code in Washington; whether that attracts voters or not, is yet another question.
Hillary, on the other hand, sounded much more Presidential. This time, no one can claim she said something wrong. She talked about uniting the nation, negotiating peace, and emphasized that the nation is on the right track -- or almost, by talking on the economic recovery. No one asked her any tough questions, not even a single scandal except for known ones, which is a good sign that she can manage.
On foreign policies, they brought some classical topics like trade deficit and the US bases abroad, claiming that the US can replace China in terms of the industrial output and that the US can maintain its hegemony without the US forces' presence. Their talk on nuclear weapons may sound rather casual in the way that they treated the matter, including coming up with measures in preventing the proliferation among nations including 'rogue' nations and other nations.
Here, we are witnessing the very different level of discussions on this grave topic; President Obama visited Hiroshima and created the political momentum for nuclear disarmament there and in the region. The sort of sacrifice that he made and the way that the people there just wholeheartedly supported him may not have affected them indeed. As that no one can possibly use the weapon, it probably is very wise for everyone concerned that the nuclear arms race does not start there.
The Hillary and Trump debate, showed some different aspects. They started talking on issues that President Obama avoided; Trump started accusing China for North Korea's nuclear problem. Some repercussions be expected, even as he praised the nation later in his talk.
There are things that President Obama did not talk about but things that Hillary and Trump do, such as being tough on crimes. Trump said there is no laws and orders in places such as impoverished inner cities. Clinton vowed that she would fight against NRA.
Will they keep their campaign promises?
