    Cleveland 2020 Presidential Debate Primer

    Chris Wallace will overseen a battle of words meant to convince no one. This is not about policies because the 2 parties do not have platforms anymore, the masks are coming off. If you like the borish billionaire con-man in Trump this is for you. If you like the slick lifelong politican that has overseen the downfall of the middle-class in Biden this is for you. Chances are they are both rapists and suffering mental decline, oh goodie for us all. This debate will be an hour and a half commercial with commercials. If we are lucky something crazy will happen. In this episode I cover the topics Mr Wallace has said he will question the candidates on. A healthy but of skepticism is required for the viewer of this debate and when listening to me. You can verify anything you want to, I promise I will not stop you. I made this more for the people who do not consume as much news and information as I do, as I need to, I am an addict. Moderation is the key, to staying out of rehab. Is there a news junkie rehab? Free billion dollar idea, run wild. Hope you get something out of this.
