The Morning After

Are you wearing your "I Survived the Clinton-Trump Debate" button? If you sat through the ninety minutes, you've earned it. Different polls deliver different opinions on which debater won, but David Brooks of PBS and the News York Times probably evaluated it best, when he said neither speaker had made him feel confident about the future of America.

We had hoped it might turn out like the duel between Abdul Abulbul Amir and Ivan Skavinsky Skavar, who, as related by Frank Crumit in his 1930s song, vanquished each other.

Skip the debates. Check out Crumit's song, accessible on-line, and as much fun as ever.

  1. I've yet to see a credible poll that names Trump the winner of that dismal debate. No doubt such a poll could be manufactured but who would believe it? A quality that US politics lack to a frightening degree is critical thinking. Canadian voters are not always very perceptive either, but they do recognize a BS artist when they see one.
