A topic for another time, but one of the deepest of American problems is the degree to which a polished TV presentation as more bearing on a candidates fate than wisdom and record. We really saw that come to fruition with Carter VS Reagan. I wonder how Lincoln reborn would do in current circumstances. Two minutes to present a long-chain thought looks more like "Speedating" than a job interview.
TV is also why Sen. Hollings said years ago that due to the cost of campaigning: " So we go over to the building and call for money and obviously we only can give attention to that. We don't have time for each other. We don't have time for constituents, except for the givers. Somebody ought to tell the truth about that."
Good point. To clarify, (hopefully,) any rising enthusiasm (if any) for Biden took a nosedive on Jun 27.
Any rising enthusiasm for Trump since then took a nosedive on Sept 10.
Math was never my strong suit.

Ally! My sister from another Mister!
(I'm also not good at clever repertoire. )

It's a big part of the billionaires' edge.
