The Clinton-Trump debate has come and gone. It seemed Trump was baited mercilessly. He fell for it completely. What a
mistake. She prepared; he did not. She did seem scripted; he ad-libbed mostly
stuff from his stump speeches, and poorly.
But on the security issues, both were dismal.
Both demonstrated a total lack of knowledge, detailed or
general on national security of all kinds.
Here, we can excuse Trump as simply being ignorant. But Clinton, also ignorant, should understand
from experience the gravitas of computer security and hacking. But her delivery was rehearsed and delivered
with no apparent personal understanding. Both said security was big and important,
but neither have a clue on what to do.
"We will get top people to fix it," was the extent of their
answers. Hint. Already, the top people
the government has ARE working on it and
failing. Corporations usually give short
shrift to the costs of better security. Us everyday folks don’t have a clue. Computer
security and perhaps even worse, security from terrorists are among our
nation's biggest issues in the next five years.
To me, little value is gained by continual analysis of this
debate. Both candidates are so totally flawed, to the effect that if anyone
could make a unilateral decision on who should win and felt their decision to
be correct and best, I would doubt their intelligence. In this election, we all must make an internal
and intuitive compromise.
