I agree with you Gary. I'm very disappointed that the Republican students could watch the same debate I did and say trump was studied and "came of strong" with knowledge of issues. He spoke very little about substantive matters and spent most of his time bullying, name calling, interrupting, calling for white supremacists to stand by to sow violence in case he doesn't win, and remarkably (or not so remarkably), he WOULD NOT condemn white supremacists. He also WOULD NOT agree to stand by the results of a democratic election. How can he actually protect and defend the constitution if he won't abide by it? Never has democracy been under such serious assault...the fact that this assault is being committed by a standing president is scary, shocking and dangerous. Our institutions of democracy are being dangerously stretched and I pray they don't break under the assault of president trump.
