Then how good of a manifestation is hillary? (don't get me wrong i'm not support her with this question)

Again it sucks things aren't totally 'ethical(in your words)' but you have two options.

This election is partly a referendum on whether we find those aspects of our culture acceptable. The front is that it's about the absurdity of political correctness, but it's really about whether we have a civic duty to anyone but ourselves, and what kind of conduct is acceptable in national discourse.
I think Trump is a great representation of a Cut throat business man. I'd rather have that kind of person right now in office with the way things are for this country.

So his representation fits the scheme for this time period in America. Who did you vote for last election is you don't mind me asking?

You don't realize how great that sounds to many of us. Absolutely, lets get nothing done. In fact, lets do a LOT less! I think we could really do a lot less and get nothing done at the same time! I llllllike it!

If we can just cut government by like 25% , instead of growing it. I'll consider this the most "Done" , in a long time.

Well good, we agree on that in general. I'd look for a greater figure (~50% or more), but I'm pretty minimalist when it comes to govt. But I recognize we would need to ease our way to such a point.

Had a bunch of ADHD cases around me barely caught anything.

Hillary looked really good, and so did Trump was the gist I got in the haze of interruptions. Impressed with both.

One thing that caught me was the moderator was allowed to fact-check.

Trump held his composure pretty well, no "excuse me" snapping like in the GOP. And overall did what he needed to do.

I only saw Trump being fact-checked, which irked me. And the moderator was only pressing Trump during questions where Trump would dodge. Trump dodged a few times, and the moderator would attempt to cut him off, or zero in on it.

This really irked me as someone hoping for no interference or Candy Crowley help, but its all that stands out right now.

^ An all too common schema of dysfunctional ethics where the belief that others doing wrong makes it okay for you to do wrong as well.
