Last night’s “Town Hall” presidential debate was a total waste of time for me, and for anyone else who has already decided who they’ll vote for this year. Each side is claiming victory this morning, but I suspect that the truth is that the 33% who scored it a tie in the first post-debate poll last night are probably closer to right.
The one thing that I took away from the debate last night is that both men are consummate masters at avoiding a question. Here’s what I heard:
Moderator - “The next question goes to (pick a candidate) and comes from Geraldine Wahoo – Geraldine.”
Wahoo - Mr Candidate, this is something extremely important to me and my family, but I haven’t heard it discussed. My question is - Have you ever seen an elf?
Candidate – That’s a good question, Geraldine; an important question, and I’m glad you asked. Did you realize that less than one percent of the public elementary schools in this country have bidets in the girls restrooms? You are more likely to find an assault rifle in a public school than a bidet. I have a plan….
For those of us who know who we are going to vote for....it might seem a waste of time. But not to me! Every bit of information we see and hear directly from the candidates is important to either bolster our opinion or even makes us question some of our opinions. Great debate! We are the winners!
