Team vocab

The team vocab is about the vocab used to explain the presidential debate. This year's presidental debate was very aggravating. Donald Trump's words were very venomous towards Hilary Clinton. Neither of them were stolid or hypnotizing towards the audience. I really want Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump to dissolve from the presidential election because we won't be able to suspend the transformation the US is about to experience. Donald Trump was constantly accusing Hilary Clinton about her emails. No one anticipated that their arguments would be so weak. When they were arguing I felt that my capillaries were going to burst from anger.
