Elsewhere on this site, Frank Smith says to me "If you had the fortitude to watch the whole debate last night".  You hit the nail right on the head with your comments, Mitch.  I live-streamed it on YouTube as I no longer own a television, but couldn't stomach the whole thing.  In fact, I was tempted to mute it and open up a new YouTube tab, playing a song I used to hear on KRKN all the time when I was a teenager, "Elephant Talk" by King Crimson.  Each stanza begins with "Talk, it's only talk".
