Presidential Debate/ Confucius
After watching 15 minutes of the presidential debate, I noticed that both candidates have some Confucius values. I'll begin with Hillary. In her speech, she seems more of the type to help everyone out not just the already wealthy people. She goes on in detail about her plans with helping the middle class, education, and creating more jobs. This reminded me of one of Confucius ' Analects, number 29. Hillary seems to be more modest in her speech and (I hope) seems like she will exceed with her actions. Actions speak louder than words. Also, number 18 I feel like fits with her too. I don't think she cares about the popularity she receives such as boosting her ego by saying crazy things just to be the topic of discussion, seems like she actually wants to help make things better. Trump on the other hand is quite different. I will say number 36 fits with him. He is very firm with what he wants and his speeches says it all.

Ah, but is he correctly firm or merely firm? I guess we'll see if he wins...
