Do you know who was in the first televised presidential debate? John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon debated in 1960. Do you know what the backdrop was? There really wasn't one. In fact, these guys look more like two boys who were fighting in the hall and got sent to the principal's office.
But tonight eleven Republican hopefuls are taking the stage in front of Ronald Reagan's Air Force One. (Reagan, even when he is not here, he is.) The debate, complete with sponsors and commercial breaks resembles more a prize fight or Wrestlemania than a necessary political, public discussion.
Just pick one already. Would ya? They all want to de-fund Planned Parenthood. Non of them believe in global warming. They all think Kim Davis is a hero (not a much of a hero as Reagan). Who cares? Backwoods is backwoods. I would be more interested if it was a cage match. Or if maybe they were all put in a cage.
