Republican debate tonight. Yikes. I’m sure it will be a scintillating display of wit and charm and informed commentary. Maybe we’ll see if anyone dares put some distance between themselves and Donald Trump.
Debates seem almost useless to me, especially when there are multiple participants (8 tonight?). The moderator asks a question, then the candidates change the subject and go off on either a rant or some other stream of consciousness. Or they just go on the attack and never say anything substantive.
I’m not sure how much anyone will learn, if they make the effort to tune in in the first place. Hopefully it won’t just be a free-for-all, and the Fox News moderators avoid serving up softballs and the temptation to feed the candidates a steady diet of Biden-bashing entrees.
And get ready, Ron. They’re probably coming after you.
