Debate the Washington Bureaucracy
This past Wednesday’s CNN Debate offered Senator Lyndsay Graham an opportunity to express a sweeping indictment of Congress. Whether by design or by error it was refreshing to hear him admit to the reclusive value of “political capital”; that the order of the day for Republicans was to not “waste” political capital on issues that would advantage Obama and disadvantage Republicans – a tragic admission of reality in Washington, D.C. It would appear that the strategy must then be that we only fight the fights that can be won and take a pass on the ones that need fought. So much for the representative strength of conviction.
CNN Wins Debate
Smoldering from declining audience and ad revenues, CNN’s debate structure won them a big punch bowl of ratings and revenues. As expected, Trump was the evenings Joe Palooka and I found his restraint amazing. Perhaps illustrating that he’s far more pressure-tolerant and less bombastic than many had thought. A most estimable trait particularly for an occupant of the Oval Office.
On the flip side of the evening is Carly Fiorina who made a point of avoiding direct eye contact with Trump while resigned to peevish quips, brooding mannerisms and bilious rants. By the way, the very type of exhibitions that got her fired from HP and precisely the type of hypnotic bile CNN hoped for.

Obama-Kerry Nuke Deal Opens Door for Russia
While Mr. Obama and his legion of supporters in Congress would have you believe that no Deal is the worst possible choice they continue to cold-shoulder the reality of consequence. Russia remains perplexed, if not completely mystified, by the Administrations pursuit of a Deal with Iran. They view the whole affair as simply another indication of Washington’s terminal dysfunction which effectively, by their actions, giving Putin a green-light to pursue interests in the Middle-East.

CNN – GOP Debate
Trump may be polling well however, his rise is not built on substance, but on the weakness (save for Dr. Carson) of the competition. As in the case with the Dem’s where the rise of the not so Outside-Insider Sanders is largely attributable to the unelectable Clinton.
Trump has been able to succeed with base Bluster-Messaging while most of the remaining GOP waste-away in the media shadows. Understanding that Trump has avoided offering policy positions as targets for his opponents to shoot at, sooner or later substance will have to emerge from the shallows of non-competition. The CNN debate could very well be the scene were the likes of Rubio, Paul, Christie and Bush try to take a bite out of Trump (no, Fiorina is far too savvy for a televised head-to-head with Trump) or perhaps even Jindal-Jab him.
