#1 Trump showed again in the first debate that he’s intent on initiating action after action. His wild charges and outrageous statements have no content, no weight, no meaning.

I don't think the author was watching the same debate I was watching.

#3 Alinsky wasn’t advising a billionaire real estate developer who wants huge tax cuts for the wealthy. He was trying to equip the truly powerless -- workers in dangerous stockyards, tenants in dreadful tenements -- with a useful tool

Alinsky is made to look like a candidate for sainthood. No so much the truth however. During the Depression he was an organizer for a labor unions such as the CIO. This was a time when mobsters were entrenched in the labor unions (not so much different today except instead of calling them mobsters they are called left politicians). He also hung around with Frank Niti, the Enforcer of Capone-era fame--supposedly Alinsky really was privy to where the bodies were buried. He like our Community Organizer in Chief was a community organizer although one would be hard-pressed to find any community that was better as the result of their efforts. Hillary was an admirer of Alinsky who dedicated his book to the devil, the first community organizer. Hillary does not like the memory of their saint be sullied by Republicans who use their tactics against them. They will yell foul.

#5 One would be hard pressed to name one community, a single one, which has truely benefited from the ministrations of a 'community organizer'.
