Patrick's Diary - 9/16/2015

I left home for work at 6:00 am and was still stuck at the ramp to wait for getting onto I-405. 
The traffic lights close to my working campus stopped me unusually long but I was fine because I would be able to park very close to the building at such a early time. 
As I said in the clip I filmed while I was waiting for getting onto freeway on the ramp, report said it would be raining but eventually didn't. On my way home, it was actually sunny. Approaching our house, I even could feel the sunshine warmly. 
After briefly watching NYC hosting Toronto, I suddenly realized that GOP Debate on CNN had kicked off. I had noticed the schedule of this debate but hadn't decided fully engaged until that moment. Overall, it was an interesting night. As you might know, I followed the entire debate even including the review of post-debate on CNN through my Twitter account. Trump has become a serious political figure since the beginning of his campaign, though he still can't get his debate right onto the points and make himself a serious candidate. However, he probably is still on the top of various polls. Jeb Bush seems a very legit one but Americans expect the fundamental changes, which may put him into a disadvantage given his established status. Fiorina performed very tough and calm with full confidence. No matter if do her points make senses, she must get many supporters after this debate. Christie acted as a very professional politician at this debate. Carson might lose some supporters because he wasn't able to impress the crowds as he had done in first debate on Fox, he actually talked about flat tax, which could have been a spark but he couldn't inspire the audiences with this topic. To me, the debate didn't have radical economic issues touched. Tax is always a sensitive topic, I prefer everyone paying fair shares in the first place instead of redistributing the wealth afterwards. Contributing to the society is an obligation everyone must do, paying fair shares doesn't grant anyone the glory. I didn't think anyone on the stage has more experiences on foreign policy than I have. I have a fundamental solution to have the most problematic region settled; I can influence Chinese and Russians to accept Western values; I am totally accepted by Europeans; I can inspire Africans to build their modern lives because they know I really want everyone in this world to enjoy the life; I am a super soccer fan and still able to play competitive soccer including making bicycle kicks at the age of 49, which connects me naturally with Latin Americans. To answer the question of "What do you expect the world to be after you leave the office if you are elected", I am confident that the world will only need one leader because I will have integrated the entire world into one nation. 
At the end of the debate, I heard the moderator reminded that Democratic Debate be going to be held on October 13th. I am not sure in addition to Clinton and Sanders, who else will be on the stage. Has Biden declared his candidacy? As I said, I supported Clinton in 2008 election but she couldn't become Democratic candidate after surprisingly defeated by Obama. After 8 years, I don't know if she is truly enthusiastic for this election or cares about financial remedy more because I learned that her surprisingly loss to Obama put her into financial hardship. Her current problem is her established status just like Bush encounters. However, she is still the most competitive candidate if I am not allowed to join the show. Sanders has claimed himself a socialist but he doesn't really know the optimal socialism. He keeps criticising a party, which actually is the one of the major forces to having a successful and efficient socialistic system operated. I will join the Democratic debate through Twitter to help voters understand what the modern socialism is. No, don't get me wrong just because I was born and raised in Beijing, I never believe in so-called "Socialism in Chinese style (manner)". An optimal socialism should be advanced from a successful capitalism. China and Russia are not able to skip that stage. 
Yep, this Sanders' clip I just watched reminds me the debate of Climate Changes.
as I tweeted, I don't believe Climate is really a critical issue but Americans should use resources carefully. If you live in Europe for a while, you will learn European's behaviors and attitudes towards resources conservations. We are given by God too many forests, lakes, so on and so forth, we may take all of these for granted. If we use our resources intelligently, climates will be changed even in favor of us more.
