If you are wondering how Donald Trump would do in a debate with Hillary Clinton, you needn’t look beyond his performance on CNN’s March 29, town hall in Wisconsin.
His unbelievable response to Chris Mathews’ question regarding punishment for the woman who has an abortion has received the most coverage, but when asked by Anderson Cooper what he thought the three top functions of the federal government were, well it was also what you might expect – embarrassing.

Security, education and health care was Trump’s response. Yes, security should be the number one function, but education and health care? Just think. That was the response of the GOP presidential frontrunner.
On education, for instance, does he even remember his positions as previously stated? If he wants to eliminate the Department of Education and shift decisions on education to the state and local level as he has previously stated, how can education be one of the top three functions of the federal government?
It isn’t the first time he has caused confusion on the issue of education. When former candidate Ben Carson announced his endorsement of the Trump candidacy, Trump said Carson would be very much involved in education.
Then there’s heath care. He has stated that he would repeal and replace ObamaCare, but does his response regarding health care as a top function of the federal government indicate that he still favors a big government single-payer system like Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders?
Aside from his lack of preparedness during questioning, his response tells me he is not a conservative, limited federal government candidate.
Cooper also assailed Trump for acting like a fifth grader over who started the Melania Trump vs Heidi Cruz kerfuffle. He started it, not me, nya nya nya nya nya.
Trump/Clinton debates may just be more than I can endure. I understand that Jeff Foxworthy is waiting in the wings, ready to serve as the moderator.
