I watched the presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. I’ve also heard many of the reports and reviews, but believe the fundamentals have been missed. Most people thought of the debate as a heavy-weight fight. No, it was WWF. It was merely a nicely scripted dialogue providing room for talking points.
The bi-partisan group that sponsored the debate is indeed bi-partisan. It has partisans on it from two sides. Other sides were excluded and the forum served the interest of those two sides. WWF. Not a fight and not a brawl. Not too democratic either.
