Quick take: Debates are still useless. Cancel them all.

 Has there ever been a worse debate performance than what we saw from John Fetterman?  I do not think so.  True, he had a stroke rather than innate stupidity or some other condition, but he did put on the worst debate performance in national political history.  And he still won.  What have we learned from this?  My metaphor remains as follows.  Suppose job candidates show up for interviews at a law firm and they are handed violins.  They are required to play the Brandenburg Concertos as part of the interview process.  (Side note:  why Brandenburg?  I just kinda like Bach.)  Would this make any sense?  Of course not.  There is no connection between governin' and debatin', just as there is no connection between lawyerin' and fiddlin'.  Fortunately, debates don't matter.  They are irrelevant.  They do not affect electoral outcomes.

Can we please cancel all debates going forward?  Enough of this.
