As, I believe, many on this thread have been noting:

Quote
Television news media has long seen Trump’s campaign as its bread and butter. “Go Donald! Keep getting out there!” CBS chief executive Les Moonves told an investor presentation last December. He followed up by saying that Trump “may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS, that’s all I got to say.”

i can imagine Mr Trump is more than capable of navigating 30 min to discuss the origin of the universe but for more thoughtful folks 30 min doesn;t provide enough time to lay down the foundation of a discussion on foreign policy

I predict a lot of sound bites but not much substance


ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
Save America - Lock Trump Up!!!!

I do too, but I suspect that the quality of the answers will be significantly different between the candidates.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

This story may be growing legs: Trump Held Fundraiser For Pam Bondi At His Palm Beach Mansion After She Passed On Lawsuit. The second element of note:
Quote
The Republican Party of Florida paid much less for the venue than Trump’s own campaign has paid.
Quote
The use of Mar-a-Lago alone was a donation of some value. Space at the resort is expensive to rent, and Trump has charged his own presidential campaign roughly $140,000 per event for use of the mansion.

In contrast, the Republican Party of Florida paid only $4,855.65 for the Bondi fundraiser, cutting a check on March 25, 2014. It was a “small event on the lawn ... featuring snacks and refreshments, attended by about 50 people,” a Bondi campaign staffer told The Huffington Post.
yeah, riiight.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

I'm still watching the commander in chief forum, and it appears Trump is bombing horribly. Yeah.

From what I've read he's spewing the same shyte as on the stump.

Did he at least use full sentences?

They would make great speaking partners. Gibberish is stereo.
