Today is your day Boomer! What an interesting political evening it was on my TV set. It was the great presidential debate with Harris vs Trump on the sets of over 100 million Americans and many Canadians....including lots of Boomers like my wife and I. We watched the whole thing, snickered many times, commented regularly, and then viewed the media reaction afterwards. My comments? Harris easily won, she showed true confidence and ability to publically speak, was well prepared, and baited Trump into numerous personal attacks where he huffs and puffs and likes to repeat himself. Trump, himself, was in attack mode but it was mostly a focus on the past and present....very little on the future of America. Commentators say he lied 33 times in 90 minutes; Harris did this only once. Trump kept interupting the ABC News moderators and was actually granted almost 5 more minutes of talk time. But...the moderators did correct him 4 times publically, and they did not do this to Harris. She was very "presidential", in my opinion, and unflappable. He gave us more of what he always is...Trump being Trump. In a final slap in the face, I think Taylor Swift got more post-debate attention than anyone when she announced her public support for Harris! Overall, I think a bad night for Donald, an awakening for Kamela, and a continuing display of "high drama" when it comes to American politics. Cheers Boomers!
