An 8 year old's perspective of the 2nd debate

So I'm watching Hillary vs. The Donald, Part Deux tonight at my friend's house. We were actually flipping between the Blue Jays/Rangers game and the debate, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, we alight for a bit on the debate... at one of the parts where Trump is saying Hillary is unqualified, untrustworthy and this and that blah blah blah... and my buddy's little 8 year old son suddenly pipes up and says "Trump is such a hypocrite. Everything he's accusing Hillary of, he is himself." My friend and I looked at each other in amazement, and I looked at his son and said 'yes, I think you're absolutely right!" Then I added, you're pretty smart for a nine year old. And he quickly shot back with: "I'm eight."

Out of the mouths of babes or what!
