The second presidential debate is tonight, and you don’t have to be clairvoyant to know that the unofficial theme will be “Deflections and Scandals”.

America’s stalwart journalistic messiah himself, Anderson Cooper, will be “moderating”(I use that term loosely if previous debates are any indication) along with Martha Raddatz and they will be tasked with staying neutral as they steer the debate; but if they actually cared about America they would ditch the neutral angle and actually try some journalism for once in their lives because, as it turns out, some things are objectively positive and some just aren’t.

Surely Trump will be asked to respond to his comments from 2005 that include “pussy grabbing”. These comments have been brushed aside by many as just normal man talk from behind closed doors, and I would say that it’s completely naive and ignorant to dismiss that argument and believe that a good portion of men do not talk like that with their buddies, whether they actually believe what they say or not- BUT that’s not the point. Right or wrong, our President will be representing America and it is justifiable to protest when one running for that position is on record saying such degrading and misogynistic things.

Less sure is whether Clinton will be asked about the recently leaked speech transcripts(you know the ones that she refused to disclose and that were one of the focal points of the democratic primary?) and they show many of the corrupt things that Bernie (Primary Bernie of course, not #nevertrump Bernie who is MIA on this issue now) said would be in them ARE in fact in them: She wants Wall Street to regulate themselves, She thinks its mandatory to hide what she really thinks about issues from the public, and in a speech to Goldman Sachs in 2013 she assured them that she knew it wasn’t REALLY their fault the economy crashed with a nick wink and a nod.

Trump’s comments will morph into just another example of how being PC has ruined this country and how he will continue to work towards making America great again(and checking to see if his mike is on next time)

Clinton will pivot to how her comments only show her deep understanding of the political process and puts her experience with working in washington front and center that should lead every American to shout #Imwithher from the most convenient rooftop(and remember to request all future private speeches not be transcribed)

Cooper and Raddatz will poke and prod at the candidates on these issues, they will let them lie and deflect to each other and to America…turning this “debate” into nothing more than an interactive campaign ad.
