Tonight is the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president and current wacko nut case Donald Trump. I have measured but high hopes for Vice President Harris tonight. She needs a great showing to help convince people that she is the only logical and sane choice to become President of The United States. It’s hard to believe how things have changed since the last debate. Just wow.
President Biden had a rough debate. I won’t deny that. Perhaps he overprepared or a long day of having a real job caught up with him like it does all of us. Maybe 9 PM is too late to debate? No matter what it was a snapshot in time. Not a reflection of his whole body of work and experience.
He came out swinging in a speech in N. Carolina today. That is encouraging and I hope it will take the sting out of last night.
Remember you electing an administration not just a President and VP. I still don’t want Trump or his thugs anywhere near the White House. Have some hope and faith that things will look up.
Tonight at 9 PM is the first Presidential debate in Atlanta, Georgia. It will be interesting to see what happens between President Joseph R. Biden and former President and current felon Donald Trump. I am hoping for a good result for President Biden tonight. He might just have to be clear and focused to do well while the other guy might lose his cool like he is known to do. Trump can jump in a lake for all I care and take a few of his cronies with him.
In the tit-for-tat world that is social media these days arguing can be exhausting. There is an old Internet saying “don’t read the comments” and its true. On Facebook you can see where there is so much pain and suffering in the feedback of people who are wanting to speak louder to get their point of view across. Back in the good old days there were debate classes that taught the fine craft of point and counterpoint. In debate you had to do your research to make your case. There was a point to debate and it was an orderly, civilized discussion of a subject.
Fighting the good fight is a noble thing but when you think about it that can just wear you out. Politics has made things so bad that it has ended friendships and caused division. I get tired of the arguing but you have to do something or say something when you see injustice going on. But man things can get tiresome online.
Should I watch the 3rd United States Presidential Debate? Is it going to make a difference at this time for me or the nation at this point? I think watching it by Twitter or some other way might be good. My mind has been made up for a long time, so I guess I would be better served by watching something else. Maybe I am too chicken and I am afraid that my candidate is going to screw up. To be honest the political cycle this time around has been very caustic and very mean. Let’s see how I feel after watching Survivor: Gen X vs. Millennials on CBS TV.
Tonight is going to be really interesting. Let’s see how this second debate unfolds in light of Trump’s tape thing from Friday.
