Presidential race 2016

[Blindgreed1]

For me, there's value to the debates beyond just the answers the candidates give.

But, I understand that not everyone cares for the debates or gets the same things from them.

You get smoke up your ass; I get a better for the candidates on a few different fronts.

You get what their writers want you to see.

You might be more simple-minded and just take things at face value, Gunnar. Nothing wrong with that.

But, a lot of us get more out of a speech, a debate, a public statement, a protest ...than just the words themselves, whether some of those words are practiced/supplied or not.

Anyway, it's impossible to script how one candidate will react to another when an unexpected point, dig, compliment, etc...is tossed out there. Anytime there's group interaction and point / counter-point, there's bound to be some on-the-spot reactions and responses.

I will watch as much of the debate as I can because I'm interested and get more out of it than you. I'm not trying to convince you that you should watch or get something out of it. It's Thursday; I understand that you'll probably be tuned into Sponge Bob and tossing back Dos Equis with your compadres.

You just called me fat again!

And I will watch the debates with Trump, because I suspect it will be a train wreck.
