Normally, I try to write about a presidential debate after it ends and before I hear what the people in the spin room have to say about why their candidate won. After last night's debate I didn't even try. I couldn't for the simply reason that I didn't watch the debate. I already knew what the zombies who are running for president would say. From looking at the transcript of last night's fiasco, my decision was correct.
There's a reason why these candidates hold rallies and relatively no one shows up. The lines to use the rest rooms at a Trump rally have ten times more people than show up at one of those Democrat rallies. A good example is the rally that Mike Bloomberg held the other day with Judge Judy introducing him. He spent literally hundreds of thousands of dollars on TV ads to promote the rally, and then 45 people showed up. FORTY-FIVE! It came to something like ten thousand dollars per attendee. And who knows how many of the 45 were paid staffers that were actually working the "crowd" for Bloomberg.
Anyway, the debate started with each of the candidates being offered the chance by CNN to condemn the missile attack that took out that murderous terrorist Iranian general Soleimani. The candidates didn't disappoint. They seemed to be elbowing each other to see who could get in the biggest condemnation of Trump defending American lives. They each want to go back to the "good old days" under Obama when the USA said nice things and did nothing but appease the Iranians.
After the Iran section, CNN got the debate eventually to the issue of whether or not Bernie Sanders told Elizabeth Warren two years ago at a private dinner among "friends" that a woman could not be elected president. Bernie seemed angry when asked about it, but, of course, Bernie always seems angry. Ask him what he had for breakfast and he would probably say, "Scrambled eggs; what's it to you?" CNN then just assumed Sanders was telling a lie, and asked poor victim Elizabeth Warren how she responded. It was a disgusting moment and a totally dishonest one. Remember, for two years, no one heard about this supposed statement by Bernie. Then after two years, at a point where Warren's poll numbers are dropping really fast, suddenly the Warren people in the field in Iowa are all talking about what Bernie said at that dinner. So we're supposed to believe that this is true? Say what you want about Bernie. He's an angry old and crazy guy whose views make Mao Zedong look like a conservative. But Bernie is not a sexist. Indeed, this ploy by Warren is roughly the opposite of someone trying to make Donald Trump look like a delicate snowflake. It's ridiculous.
Other highlights of the debate came through in the pictures I saw. Whoever did Amy Klobuchar's makeup apparently was trying to make her look like a clown, and that person was clearly successful.
I'm just glad I didn't watch.
