I am confused. I had thought that “a debate” was where there was a topic, the debaters made points, challenged other people’s points and interacted with one another. That wasn’t this. This was two polished white-toothed, well-coiffed Foxites asking polite questions and getting the answer “America can be great again” along with a recap of someone’s delusional recollection of how he/she has spent the past few years.

You can read the full recap with quotes (from the bottom up) on our Facebook feed here.

Mostly though — each of the governors believes his state is a better place based on what he’s done. All seven believe that Hillary Clinton is bad, America is on the decline, we need to fight ISIS and jobs would be good.

I kept waiting for someone to say something insightful, or forward thinking, or even honest. But this debate was not the place. Maybe things will be better at 9. I can see why Republicans like The Donald so much.
