Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Debates

 Trump is - once again - skipping GOP primary debates. I've never really found debates compelling or even interesting. They are known most for "gaffes" that play on a loop on social media. You rarely learn anything interesting or positive about a candidate. For Trump and Biden, we know them. The point of a debate seems lost. Instead, it will be how well Biden stands up to Trump's verbal bullying and his speech impediment or how Trump responds to actual cross examination about his many legal woes.

Of course, if we are lucky, Trump will be in prison by next fall.
