Don't ask me who won the Vice Presidential Nominee debate last night. After watching the first fifteen minutes, I bailed, and went back to reading my book.
Instead of showing us something new and fresh, both candidates made it clear that they came to replay the samo-samo party lines of their running mate.
Since I have heard those stale and half-true claims and accusations already dozens of times I did not want to waste any more time listening to these two stooges.
The moderator, whose name I did not get, was wearing too much make-up and looked completely fake. She was ineffective in keeping the schoolyard antagonists from interrupting each other (Kane was the worst offender - I felt like punching him in the stomach.)
I will not put much stake in the opinion polls. If someone actually stayed and watched the whole
show, I would not value their opinion anyhow.
Too bad they didn't invite Bill Weld, the Libertarian VP nominee. He might have livened things up a bit. Since Gary Johnson has embarrassingly flubbed several easy foreign affairs questions, Weld has apparently given up on Johnson. He tells the Boston Globe that he plans to spend the next five weeks blasting Trump. His chief goal is to keep Trump out of the White House and take a lead role in rebuilding the GOP. Good luck with that plan.

So, you stuck around for a full fifteen minutes, eh? I tuned in only long enough to see what color ties the would-be veeps were wearing. I agree the moderator was wearing too much make-up, but Elaine Quijano, as anyone fit to judge the comparative hotness of female television news-readers can tell you, looks a lot better with less on --- make-up, I mean.
I, too, would have liked to see Bill Weld on the "debate" stage, as long as he refrained from defending Gary Johnson's oft-quoted remarks.
I have nothing to say ...
Well, thanks for sharing ..
