More comments about the “Dem” debate...

Three hours is far too long for a political debate of that category and for the western half of the country, this fell smack in the middle of dinner time. Ten people on a stage are at least four too many and this is a prime case when less is best.

Only 14 million people out of 250 million voters watched the debate, but if half of the population is potentially voting for the democratic party, that’s only less than 12% of that electorate. Of course, with the exception o f Yang, all candidates were or have been elected official. Let’s say they all come from the “Congress Class”, not the sharpest tools in the shed!

We always expect folks of the caliber of Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mike Bloomberg or Jeff Bezos to lead us, but politicians stand a few notches down these guys when it comes to smarts and common sense. I’ve said it before, I say it again, being over 70 is too old for the first job in the nation. We need the energy, imagination and courage of a 40 to 50 years old instead.

Unfortunately, aside from O’Rourke who wants to take assault weapons away from those stupid enough to buy them, the rest of the field is too measured and is calculating far too much. Biden has amply demonstrated to normal and intelligent people that he has no place in that debate and yet the media is woefully unable to see it and accept that sad reality. Trump would obliterate Biden with the first 10 minute of a debate opposing the two.

Aside from the “old” Sanders and Warren, no other candidates have “big ideas”. Case in point is national healthcare. It’s not rocket science! We have all the blue-prints with Medicare and that one works pretty well. I’m living proof of it!

Along the same lines, both Sanders and Warrens should have the acumen to tell us how much it would cost and how they intend to pay for it. If that wasn’t enough, let’s emulate what the Canadians, Brits and even French are doing. I know, no one admire the French outside of fine dining, wine and cheese, but my country-folks have the best healthcare system in the world. If the French can do it, America should at least be able to get to their level.

Give me a break, Dems, go back to the drawing board!
