Washington post lives onestop shop for news and analysis from last nights president ial debate and what a debate it was. This morning to kick things off, im joined by veteran political report reporter dan bulls. Im going to read the opening paragraph in todays paper where you no one alive has seen a president ial debate like tuesdays night shout fest between President Trump and former Vice President biden. 90 minutes of interruptions and insults. It was an insult to the public as well and a sad example of the state of american democracy five weeks before the election. Go on. Well, i think we know what happened last night. The president of the United States decided to come here and try to destroy the format of the debate that he agreed to the terms of and he set the tone for this debate. It was not that surprising other than the fact it was farther over the top than one might have expected. Vice President Biden came to expect a traditional debate. I think he knew he was in for a night i

Arrett to thedge b Supreme Court. Died, senatescalia republicans refused to consider a replacement for his seat until after the election. At the time, senator mcconnell said the American People should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice. 2018 ifed in october republicans intended to honor their own rule if an opening were to come up in 2020, chairman graham promised if an opening comes in the last year of President Trumps term in the primary process is started, would wait after the next election. Republicans should honor this word for their promise and let the American People be heard. Simply put, i believe we should not be moving forward on this nomination, not until the election has ended and the nex sen. Harris to protect the senators and staff.
