Sunday night’s debate was only missing the tumbleweed as both candidates were locked in an almost western tense duel for the ages. Trump came into the fight with a gun wound tapes surfaced only days before showing crass behavior through his language towards women. Regardless of the setbacks he would bring his quick draw to the table making it anyone’s game.
This second presidential debate brought insight into the candidates as they addressed questions of racial relations. In an attempt to sway African American Voters Trump opened with, “I want to do things that haven’t been done, including fixing and making our inner cities better for the African-American citizens that are so great”. Despite his words, Trumps tone made it clear which side he aligns with as the story of law and order continues to play out. He drilled this message backing police officers, “We have to bring back respect to law enforcement”. Trump cited his many endorsements by enforcement agencies failing to understand the public outcry with many of the organizations. Finally, his true colors emerged as he took out his gold star and pinned it to his suit and stared down Clinton “If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation”

This may strike well with his fleeting base support. What will not strike well are the rumors of a tape containing profane language against African Americans on the horizon. Sources from the apprentice crew hint at tapes containing racist slurs. If such a tape is released tension between the community Trump aims to fix may be severed completely, or there might be backlash at events as his campaign comes to a close.
With a closing campaign, some republicans are abandoning ship and Trump lashing out, “Disloyal R’s are far more difficult than Crooked Hillary.” They come at you from all sides. They don’t know how to win- I will teach them!” Republicans defectors be warned. There is a new sheriff in town and you might not be able to leave or you too might find yourself “in jail.”
