“If nothing else, former U.S. President Donald Trump is forcing mainstream America out of its jail cell of clichés and political correctness, even though his apparent ‘vision’ for America is primarily a dark comedy of lies. Yeah, I watched the debate. Was the Trump character played by Rodney Dangerfield? Maybe Don Rickles? He could have been. The problem, however, is that there’s nothing funny about racism, which seemed to be the primary core of Trump’s blather. Did Vice President Kamala Harris ‘win’ the debate? Uh … this wasn’t a ping-pong game, much as ‘Who won?’ seems to be the media focal point. My question is: Did anybody win? Did the whole country lose?” [editor’s note: The answer to that is yes, as well as that the “three against one” nature of the “event” rendered it useless to any sense of journalism, objectivity or fairness – SAT] (09/12/24)
