Turned out to be an interesting evening of TV.
Was already cringing at the very thought of even watching the debate, but did watch some of it. Basically Trump just interrupting, and talking over Biden, and the moderator, and flinging accusations, and personal attacks, to see what would stick. Biden didnt even have time to talk policy, or even ...to be doddering. Though there were hints of dottage in his voice. And there was more than a large dose of desperation in Trump's voice. Not a moment to make you proud as an American.
Biden by default because of Trump's embarrassing behavior.
Only watched a couple minutes of it, but I gather that it was fair sample of what the whole evening was like from all reports.
I then surfed the dial seeking escape from the debate, and ended up watching an interesting cable doc about the making of "Hamilton" the musical.
I hadnt realized that Lin Manuel Miranda not only starred in, but wrote the libretto, and the music, and directed the play, as well as sang and acted in the starring role. Was stunned to see Miranda demonstrate genius comparable to that of ...the real Alexander Hamilton himself. He and the real Hamilton would probably not have seen eye to eye politically anymore than Trump and Biden, but between the two of them- the founding father of old, and the living artist who portrays him, it restored some of my hope for America.
