the Wolf (Blitzer) did announce at the outset of the debate that the evening was to be devoted to National Security, and Isis - (I think he said almost those words}. I remember feeling disappointed at the start because I didn't want to listen to that crap. I don't need to hear them try to out-tough the other guy.
I wanted to hear about the economy, about the ''Trans-Pacific Partnership"
About education, big pharma, and, yes, global warming.
But talking about killing, and retribution, and invasions, and Islam is sexier.
F****** TV
