There was an evil genius to tonight. He’s ushered in an era of political theater meant more for a television audience than for a political audience, pulling on uninformed heartstrings with outrageous lies combined with genuinely touching moments. He’s a worthy adversary. Game on.

You give this person too much credit. The bar is so low for evil right now.

A work of fiction, produced with the help of Celebrity Apprentice, with our WH as a stage. An insult.

It has better be game on. Those stunts tonight - particularly the naturalization manipulation? Well...there should be a new word for stunning because stunning doesnt cover my reaction. The idea that he'd use those new citizens as props. Again, I'm at a loss for a descriptor.

I agree! What & how the nominees speak are vital clues. But before we vote, let's also find out what they've actually done. Then compare what they & their campaigns are saying with what they've actually done. Let's become very informed. Fact checking websites are useful.

Daniel Boorstin has called debates, but I think we can add conventions, a theatrical "pseudo-event"

In “The Image,” published 2 yrs after the first televised presidential debates, Daniel Boorstin points out they were modeled on the popular quiz shows of the era. Quiz shows waned, but the format lives on in debates, which DB identifies as a key instance of a “pseudo-event.”

Thats not the game I am remotely interested in. I am interested in the game that dethrones the oligharchy. You seem to think there is a legitimate two party system.
