A Thought To Keep In Mind For The November Presidential Election

The state of New York and its people will reject Donald Trump on November 8 and vote for Hillary Clinton as their choice for President of the United States.  The people that know Trump the best, where he lives, works and has his business headquarters will send a strong message with their vote that Trump is not qualified to be President.  The people of New York, the state that lived through the worst foreign terror attack in the United States remembers President George W. Bush's so called tough talk against terrorists that had no affect on that tragic day on 9/11/01.

Now the people of New York and the nation are being exposed once again to the so called tough talk by Trump against terrorists and his self proclaimed ability to defeat terror overnight.  And like Bush, Trump is doing his best to have America think it should live in fear.  The people of New York refused to live in fear even after the tragedy and their vote against Trump on November 8 will confirm they understand Trump's bragging will do nothing to keep America safe.

In the Presidential election of 2012 the people of Massachusetts rejected Mitt Romney and voted for President Obama.  Romney was a governor of Massachusetts, lived there and the people who knew him best rejected him on election day.  The 2012 and 2016 elections are not related of course but it showed the people of Massachusetts made the right choice in 2012 and now the stakes are even greater in 2016.  Trump is on record as saying he will reverse the progress made under President Obama if elected.  The people of New York will not accept that deplorable talk and cast their vote for Hillary Clinton.  

The American people should do the same on November 8, reject Donald Trump and cast their votes for Hillary Clinton as President of the United States.

The New York Giants 16 The New Orleans Saints 13

The Saints took their second straight loss of the regular season losing on a Giant field goal as time expired on the clock.  The game was more than just a reversal of what happened last year when the two teams met in New Orleans.  The Giants defense held the Saints offense to one touchdown and rarely did the Saints convert on 3rd down or take advantage of 3 Giant turnovers.

The Payton-Brees so called prolific offense failed to put the team in position to win on their last possession and had to punt, turn the ball over to the Giants who then drove to the Saints 3 yard line and kicked the game winning field goal.  And all the Saints could do was watch from the sidelines.  Manning did a better job for his team than Brees did for his on their final drives.  The Payton-Brees combo also failed last week on their final possession.

Bounty gate continues to be the albatross around the Saints neck.  Continuity was lost, players departed, Payton sat out the season and bounty gate year was a disaster with two head coaches splitting the season.  The sad results of bounty gate have not been reversed and the Saints continue their poor performance starting their 4th season since bounty gate.  This is not a united Saints team and Payton is not the coach many though he was.  New England has not missed a beat in its first two games and Tom Brady is sitting on the bench.

The Giants defensive coordinator Spagnuole, who was hired and then fired by Payton and trashed by some sports writers had his defense prepared for the Saints and Brees.  Any thoughts of a Saints advantage disappeared early in the first quarter.  Can the Saints turn it around and become a consistent winner under Payton and Brees?  This writer does not think so as bounty gate exposed a major flaw in Payton's coaching and management of the team.
