General Comments / The Fourth Debate
« on: October 24, 2016, 04:20:39 AM »
I'm not talking about Hillary and Donald standing on a stage together battling for the heart and soul of the TV audience, and not about SNL's surrogate debates between them. The Fourth Debate is supposed to be happening in our homes and coffee shops and where we work, as we figure out what we think of the two candidates in this mess and what we hope and fear will happen after election day. Those conversations are just as poisoned as any of the debates between the candidates themselves or the surrogate representatives and corporate media advocates.
Then we go vote on November 8 and then we'll have the Fifth Debate where we talk about what comes next. Will Clinton get some help from the new Congress or even worse obstructionism than Obama has suffered? If the Republicans hold onto the House, will Paul Ryan be the next Speaker? If not him, who? Will they try to impeach Hillary for the emails? Will the alt-right rise up in insurrection or launch terrorist attacks? Will anybody be held to account for the lies they told during the campaign (on either side)? Will Russia pay for their interference?
Your thoughts?
