The Big Debate - Security

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.
