Tom jon, get out of the sand trap, or whatever he said last night. Just absolutely extraordinary. We have been talking about it all morning. I would think the worldwide audience must be. Just extraordinary. Can we also note there is a job economy coming up, and maybe the next debate they can talk about where this unemployment factor is maybe going . Jonathan and maybe the csuite is still very strategic about when they drop bad news. The Walt Disney Company talking about dropping 28,000 jobs a few hours before debate. Tom well said. Jonathan it is amazing for me to wake up this morning, to watch back at that debate and hear the former Vice President call a sitting president a racist, and it doesnt even register. It is not even a headline this morning. That speaks to where we are at currently in the political discourse in washington, d. C. Tom some of the discussions on the white super missy issue last night are beneath the fold because of the turmoil, the emotion, the rage and the rank

We posted the rules for the debate online and we flipped a coin in studio to determine who goes first for opening statements. Congressman lamb, you have two minutes. Rep. Lamb thank you and good evening. At townhall meetings and at your front doors, ive had a chance to ask you about what you would like to see in your representative.
