10. Remember when these events used to at least genuflect at stuff that matters?

Along with talking points, Candidates would talk about their actual record, actual experience, and the agenda they expected to push. Newspapers would have rolled off the presses the next day with articles containing a little research to call out the whoppers and give some guess about how each side's policies might affect the budget, the economy, and foreign policy. TFG would have been described as bombastic, lying, and empty. The President would have been described as fighting through a cold and laying out what his next four years would aim for.

And I probably would have read the news. Can't stand TFG's voice, it's like an ice pick to the cerebrum. Hurts too much. Anybody who has to cover his speeches, isn't being paid enough.
