It’s not exactly Christmas Eve, but there is a certain anticipation in the air about tomorrow’s so-called debate between candidate Harris and candidate Trump (listed alphabetically).
Are they rehearsing tonight? Taking the night off? Wondering how it will go? I haven’t followed the drama, so I don’t have answers to these questions. And that’s because I don’t think a televised debate is the best way to choose a candidate, although I must admit the last one sank Biden’s chances. History says it sank Nixon’s chances too.
I plan to watch, although in my time zone it starts at 9 PM, which is wind-down for me. Honestly, I shall probably know in the first half hour how it’s going and can read the commentaries the next morning. I said commentaries, not opinions.
There is talk about which Trump will show up: the civil, mindful one or the bombastic, aggressive one. In fact, both could appear as candidate Trump is able to turn on a dime. As for Ms. Harris, we’ll see if her prosecutor’s bent stands her in good stead.
As for me, I hope this is the end of the television debates this time around. In fact, for every time around going forward.
