THAT was a Presidential Debate??

For the Presidency of what country?

“Well, Kamala won because she made Trump mad and he lost his cool.”

“Trump won because he let everybody know Kamala’s a flip flopper.”

“Kamala won because she didn’t cackle, she didn’t toss random words at America, and she spoke in complete sentences.”

Yeah, I’m sure the ghosts of Jefferson, Madison, and Franklin are happy their Constitution has come to this.

Turns out the whole point of the debate is what the network talking heads said about it afterwards.

That was the plan.

“Doesn’t matter how well Kamala and Trump did. It matters how well we claim they did.”

The only way I could stomach watching the debate proceedings was to switch frequently to an ESPN show about mixed martial arts fighters. They settle their debates head to head in the octagon.

They cleared my palate of the sour taste of cheap wine I was getting from the Presidential yak fest.

CLARITY is no longer a valuable commodity. Straight ahead sharpness doesn’t sell. Trump and Kamala could have staged their show on social media, trading insults in the style idiots do every day.

As I write this an hour after the debate blessedly ended, pollsters and Party hacks are preparing their lies about who gained and lost points in the race for the White House.

That, too, matters far more than what Trump and Kamala said and didn’t say.

The networks are satisfied because they experienced an audience ratings jump for a couple of hours. And because a delighted Kamala indicated she’s up for another go-around television show with Trump in October.

Finally, both candidates will be making statements claiming they won tonight. So even they know what matters is what they say AFTER the debate.

“I crushed her. She’s a complete fraud.”

“He’s a fascist who wants to enslave all women.”

Did either Trump or Kamala say anything cogent about inflation? I might have missed it while I was watching a knockout on ESPN.

A few weeks ago, I held in my hand a bag of grapes priced at…$12. That’s right. It must have been shipped in from the far side of the moon.

If I were one of the candidates, I would have brought it to the debate, held it up, and shown the price tag. And now I’d be making notes for my Inauguration speech.

There are so many things I would have said:
