Peter Schiff Podcast: The Debate We Should Have Seen

  by    0   0

In his latest episode, Peter Schiff reacts to the first presidential debate and Donald Trump’s missed opportunities to put Hillary Clinton on the defensive about paid maternity leave, government mandates, profit sharing, and the Federal Reserve.

One of Trump’s biggest opportunities was going after independent voters by expanding the argument that Clinton’s policies were “just more of Obama” and included criticism of George W. Bush. “You’re looking for the undecideds,” Peter states. “You’re looking for the independents, and they will appreciate someone who’s critical of both parties.” Certainly, a cross-party strategy would have emphasized Trump’s “outside” position, a major theme of his campaign.

In the end, Trump failed to call Clinton out on her erroneous assumptions about the economy (i.e. Bush’s tax cuts caused the 2008 Financial Crisis). Trump had ample opportunity to show Clinton’s lack of business experience and idealistic detachment from economic realities.


Highlights from the episode:

“I’m going to use today’s podcast to offer my take on last night’s Presidential Debates, which certainly did not live up to all of the hype and expectation. But the airwaves today are filled with opinion makers proclaiming that Trump won or Hillary won. And of course, all of the people who think Trump won, these are the Trump supporters, Republicans – their guy won. And Hillary supporters are proclaiming that Hillary won.”

“I’m going to give you a different take because, clearly, (and if you don’t know this by now, if the choice is between Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, I would choose Trump) … despite the fact that I support Trump over Hillary, I think Trump really blew an opportunity with this debate. I know in some cases there were some low expectations with respect to Trump, and did he exceed those low expectations, I don’t know. I expected more from Donald Trump. I was disappointed.”

“I think he should have mopped the floor with Hillary Clinton. She gave him many opportunities; she teed it up for him over and over again. And he didn’t even take a swing. In many cases, not only did he not try to hit the ball, he whiffed. I wish he had paid me to help him with debate prep because I would have told him exactly how to handle Hillary Clinton.”
