This is going to have to be the last post on the first debate, as there’s so much more to cover about the issues in this election. So I’m ending with this article that puts the debate into a much larger, higher perspective. Were any transcendent values expressed in Monday’s debate? Sadly, no.
Takeaway line from this excellent article::
Hillary Clinton may have offered little sense of humility, of obligation, of responsibility in Hempstead, but it was Donald Trump who directly rejected those virtues, reframing them instead as vices. He painted altruism as a sucker’s game, and left sacrifice for the losers. It was a performance that made clear one broader meaning of his candidacy—the eclipse of the values that long defined America.
