Trump v Harris

If you were like me, you probably don’t care for political debates and the never-ending circus of political theater.

Normally, I’m in bed by 9 PM, ready to wake up early, hit the gym, and get a jump start on my day before the rest of the world is up. But this debate?

It was hyped up so much that I decided to stay up, phone in hand, texting friends, and keeping an eye on Twitter to see how conservatives and commentators would react.

What I saw, though, was a complete waste of time. Trust me, you didn’t want to watch that. If you did, let me know if your thoughts resonate with mine, because what I witnessed was a tragic display of political theater at its worst.
