By BRUCE MAPLES Forward Kentucky Publisher Good morning! Guess what – I'm a writer, and I'm at a loss for words.
My wife and I watched the entire presidential debate last night. And if you didn't see it with your own eyes, I'm not sure I can find the words to describe it.
Debacle. Trainwreck. Brain-destroying. Depressing.
One commentator actually called it, on live television, a "shitshow."
With Trump constantly, continually interrupting, talking over Biden, lying about everything, arguing with moderator Wallace, and generally being an arrogant ass, this was no debate. It was two hours of watching Trump be a combination of a petulant two-year-old who hadn't had a nap; a middle-school bully; a serial liar; and every man-splainer you've ever known.
Multiple commenters in one online forum compared him to "my father when he was drunk."
And when it was over, my wife had an insightful description: "It was like spending two hours with a dysfunctional family at a Thanksgiving dinner."
And note this: If anyone, anywhere, including all the media, try to "both sides" this, they are wrong and should be ignored. Biden got off a few shots of his own, but the trainwreck was Trump alone.
Sorry this has run long (guess I'm not as much at a loss as I thought), but even the day after, I am still despondent after watching that. Consider: children saw that. People around the world saw it. Our allies saw it. Our enemies saw it.
We have to vote Trump out. We simply have to.
