We all know who Trump is. Everyone does. Pull the plug on the last debate.


Donald Trump’s speech is playing in the background, making very clear, there is nothing to be gained from the third and final presidential debate. Trump has made very clear his closing pitch—insane conspiracy theory mixed with bizarre attacks on Bill Clinton.

Onstage, he claims that Hillary Clinton operated in secret to “enrich these global financial powers.” And if it’s bad that Bill treated women poorly, how does that make what Trump did good?

He’s demonstrated (along with his running mate) that he has no interest in dealing with “truth” and “reality.” Tallying up his comments in the second debate, he likely said more lies (33!) than truths. You cannot debate a pathological liar. The rules of the contest assume a certain level grasp of reality that are no longer present on the Republican side.

So what would people see in a debate? Clinton trying to retain her dignity next to your worst drunk asshole uncle? That does nothing to serve democracy. In fact, it cheapens it. People have all the information they need to make their decisions. Pull the debate.
