This is true.

Both Gore and Kerry beat Bush in their debates if you count being more knowledgeable as a win. But what wins political debates is charisma, not knowledge.

Gore had zero charisma.

Kerry had zero charisma.

And Hillary has zero charisma.

She is going to lose.

Optics matter, facts do not. Perfect for the emperor jackass of Trump tower.
What a shithole of a country this is becoming.

Bullshit.

She's going to rope-a-dope his bluster, he'll punch himself out in twenty minutes, then she'll start busting him up.

It will be painful to watch even for Democrats, like Tex Cobb being pummeled by Larry Holmes.

It won't even be sport.

WHEN AND WHERE IS THE DEBATE?

Clinton, a Democrat, and Trump, a Republican, will face each other at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. The debate is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. Central Time.

WHICH TV CHANNELS WILL CARRY IT?

The debate will broadcast live on every network and cable news network: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, C-SPAN, PBS, and MSNBC. New Orleans NBC affiliate WDSU, however, will be carrying the Saints-Falcons game.

HOW CAN I WATCH ONLINE?

Facebook will cooperate with ABC, and Twitter will partner with Bloomberg Media, to live-stream the debate.

I think that these debates demand an excellent moderator! I hope that he or she will be qualified to do this extremely difficult (and important) job.

Lester Holt is far better than the dreadful Matt Lauer who hosted the equally dreadful "Commander In Chief Forum". Unlike Lauer, Holt is actually a journalist and not a dropout from a "Media Arts" program.

The trouble is that they both work for the same network, NBC, which in turn is owned by Comcast, a privately held (not publicly traded) media conglomerate owned and run by a right wing family. If it turns out that the treatment that Hillary received at the hands of Lauer was ordered from on high, then it's likely that Holt has been given a similar mission for next week's debate.

The only people that asshole appears "presidential" to, are the ones whose memory spans stop at what they had for lunch.

Lunch? We had lunch?

Nobody can remember what they ate for lunch because the fare is mundane.
Make Lunch Great Again!
