** Note from the Host **

This conversation was not intended to argue which candidate is better but rather to focus on the factors to consider when choosing who you will vote for. Therefore, rather than engage in a debate, I chose to keep the conversation on topic. In doing so, I hope you find this conversation unique and insightful as you consider the type of leader this country needs right now and who best fits that profile. God bless America.
