Petty Dishonesty 

Trump also had debate questions leaked to him. Yes, as we have seen, debates mean nothing. But that’s not the point. The point is how pathetic, dishonest, and childish these people are. I would have never debased myself in such a way. And hey, these candidates are extremely, fabulously rich people. The stakes for them personally were beyond low. A lot lower than the stakes are for some poor sod who’s interviewing with 7/11 for a minimum wage job. But the poor sod in question has convinced himself that these people are capable of caring about him.

  1. Like I keep saying, it’s all professional wrestling.

    I fully expect that by the next election candidates will have conniving managers or valets accompanying them to events (and hitting their opponents over the head with briefcases when the moderators aren’t looking).

      1. “they will do it on stage”

        Of course! Haven’t you ever seen classic pro wrestling? Managers and valets attack the opponents in front of the audience when the referee isn’t looking.

        Ted Cruz enters the debate stage accompanied by his manager Dr. Angel while Marco Rubio enters accompanied by his valet “La Habanera”

        15 minutes later, during a question of tax rates Rubio approaches the moderator to angrily point out that Cruz is cheating, while the moderator is distracted La Habaner aruns over and throws chili pepper in Cruz’s eys while Dr. Angel falls to his knees in prayer. Then George W Bush comes running out of the audience to start hitting Rubio….

        Tell me it won’t happen.
