I couldn't watch much of the debates tonight.

After a full day of congressional hearings the last thing I wanted was a show with politicians. I admit I cringed a little when I heard the opening music and didn't last very long.

It's like eating all your Easter candy and mom brings a plate of lemon meringue.

If I were to vote in a presidential

Contrast that with what he said back in April:

“Oh my god, there’s a lot of poverty in this world, and you’re going to have people from all over the world. And I don’t think that’s something that we can do at this point. Can’t do it."

I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions.

interested in the election. If you had to work or some other demand on your time, I understand.

I watched every minute of the hearings (both of them) and had a little time off before the debates began.

Most of it was a full-on bore. If it wasn’t for Gabbard’s aggression and a couple of Biden answers that became instant memes there would have been basically nothing to report.
