    Lol yeah pretty much. Just got round to watching the highlights today and what a joke. Nobody even bothers to mention democracy or freedom any more because now its pure politics. It’s been perfected to the point that it finally bears no resemblance to human nature whatsoever.

      Well, to be fair, you said you only watched the highlights.

      I guarantee you that none of the normal question and answer sections made it into the highlights reel.

      Both candidates said plenty of substance through the night.

        Trump’s words were definitely a substance. A smelly, viscous, substance usually used for fertilizer.

        “Both”, “plenty”, “guarantee”, etc.

        I’m getting the impression you have barely a passing understanding of what these words actually mean.

          Plenty here means that most of the time was spent saying stuff, and the rest was the highlights everyone is passing around.

        The whole debate was designed to generate clips. One minute responses is a terrible format. All the responses were just high energy rapid fire buzzwords with no real substance.
