Good thing that the debate was only shown in America.

Thank God no one in other countries could see it....whew!

--On Edit--

So, I've been informed that indeed the whole world was able to see that debacle. So, what we need now is a cover story. We tell our friends abroad that this was an SNL skit. Haha. Wasn't the true debate. We may get away with it if we all stick together.

We had the choice of BBC News, Sky News or Al Jazeerah English.

I'm a bit literal-minded after sitting through all that yelling and crosstalk, so I'm maybe being a bit slow if your OP was tongue-in-cheek. If so, well played.

Now I'm having a late glass of port to steady my nerves. This may be a mistake.

You can bet your ass the whole world was watching.

I suppose that was your point though, eh?

Trump is an arsehole.

Watched a good part of it live here in Oz, courtesy of our national broadcaster, ABC.
