A skilled manipulator

I watched the debate last night on the couch with my sons. My 16-year-old wrote this in English class today:

September 27 16th
1st Debate Trump vs Clinton
I could hardly watch the debate last night. I agree with people that say that Hillary won. Trump got flustered and started saying all the wrong things. And I think that nobody can argue with the fact that Hillary is possibly the best person in politics in manipulating the truth.

In our society, it is not only common for people to criticize every, single statement that Donald Trump makes, it is EXPECTED. If you don’t, then you are a racist deplorable. You are a redneck that goes to sleep at night and dreams of the defenseless black teens that you can harass; you are immediately a terrible person.

But Hillary's advantage doesn’t stop there. You can watch as Hillary looks into the crowd in the exact way that you would look at an old friend, joking about the weird kid in class. At the end of the debate, Hillary had manipulated it into a group of people that are not listening to the words spoken by the other party, but laughing and watching the pathetic attempt of a 200 pound 6 foot 2 man getting torched by the frail, 4'11" grandmother. But the final conspicuous lead that Hillary had is exactly that. She is a four foot eleven WOMAN. Trump was thrown into a position where he had to pull his punches and act like a gentleman, without confirming the pre-assumed beliefs that the only people that are Trump supporters are rich billionaires and hillbillies that trample over the rights of minorities and women. And Clinton manipulated her advantage in such a way that explains the way that she dodges the repercussions of her self-promoting actions and still come off as the kind, loving grandma. And that is why, if this is going to be the recurring theme of these debates, Trump is destined to crash and burn.
