Loved every minute!
It is 11:04AM Sydney Time and the Trump Vs Hilary debate is about to start and I am so nervous / excited about it.
Firstly, this is one of the most awesome elections every in the history of the world. You have the polls almost tied and it must be one of the most energetic elections all time.
Talking as an Australian too; this outcome has massive implications for us in Australia as in the world.
There are lots of reasons why myself and over 50% of the US population are pro Trump. I wanted to capture my emotions are every stage of it!
Edward’s Minute by Minute Reactions:
11:07AM: Hillary Clinton is opening move and must have one the coin toss. She talked jobs in a very high level manner.

Trump is talking thousands killed in Chicago on a big push ‘Law and Order’. Trump is clearly winning. This is the part that Trump is winning clearly.

Edward’s Wrap:
Hillary got in some very good hits, got some applause but as the debate moved forward – her energy kept dropping and dropping. If anything, I think Trump had a rough start. But by towards the end he clearly got the upper hand.
My advice and lessons? Like Trump, stick to your guns, know your facts, go hard and debate with passion. Hillary’s lack of passion really showed.
Great debate and can’t wait till the next ones!
