DEMOCRATIC DEBATES – Vegas Style

My fellow Americans…yes…I did my duty to God and my country and attended the 2020 Democratic Debate here in Las Vegas.  I was “wait listed” by the Media/Press folks at the NBC News MSNBC crew so I took a chance and got in as an “audience” member.  I sometimes have no clue how I manage to do it, but I am in a casino and luck was on my side. If I didn’t get in I could always play my favorite BUFFALO OR WHEEL OF FORTUNE games.  After passing through the security screening (did I take that wine opener out of my purse??) I joined the upscale crowd in the balcony.  Actually the seats were great and all of the people around me were dressed to the nines in suits, business attire, trendy  outfits, etc.  There was one crazy lady in a bling hat that had me worried but I was hoping security checked her out.  I am new to Nevada, got a local driver’s license, and registered to vote.  However, I had no idea that they were going to introduce us to so many Democratic leaders up front in the first hour. I don’t think there are any Republicans in Nevada. We heard from our Senators, the Governor, and many other leaders of the Democratic Party here in Nevada.  Harry Reid got a standing ovation from the crowd and seemed to not want to endorse any particular candidate, which was probably a good idea.  My overall impression of the crowd was that everyone was afraid to cheer loudly for one particular candidate during the debate.  You really had no idea if the guy next to you was a rabid Bernie fan and he would take offense if you cheered, gasped or laughed at something that was happening on stage.  Yes, it was rather appalling to me that all of the candidates could say the meanest, rudest, things to each other’s face in front of millions of viewers.  Didn’t their mothers teach them to “HAVE COURAGE AND BE KIND” – like Cinderella?  I actually felt bad at one time or another during the debate for all of the candidates.  I can’t tell you who I thought won but I know FOR SURE who I would not want sitting next to Queen Elizabeth or even Putin for that matter representing our country!   Have some manners!
