A Pointless Debate

There is nothing less appealing than the prospect of watching a stage full of militarists denounce each other for being insufficiently belligerent.

The third Republican presidential debate tonight will reportedly focus on foreign policy issues, but I can’t think of a good reason why I would waste part of my evening watching it. Presidential debates are not informative, and they are rarely even entertaining. There is nothing less appealing than the prospect of watching a stage full of militarists denounce each other for being insufficiently belligerent. I will probably end up scanning a transcript of their remarks later to see how deranged their rhetoric has become, but that’s it.
