7. Hardly a debate. It's going to be more like a pageant.

The "moderators" will speak more words than all the candidates combined. We'll learn nothing new. It's just going to be a contest of who had the best one-liner, and who had the best gotcha, and who flubbed a fact.

That's not a debate. That's a scripted "reality show".

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
