WINKOCRACY, AKA LEADERSHIP BY AVERAGE, EVERY DAY, MAVERICKY HOCKEY MOMS NAMED JILL SIXPACK

Let me briefly say, everyone has his or her opinion as to what he or she likes. And that's fine.

Maybe you like candidates who wink. And make lame jokes. And shout out to 3rd graders.

Or who get modern day military leaders mixed up with long-dead Civil War generals. Perhaps you dig folksy, home-spun corn & cheese. Maybe droppin' the letta' "G" and leavin' off the last letta' a' certain words is the kinda' thing that you look for in a leada'.

You know, some people even like to hear the word "Maverick" repeated like a tired mantra as part of memorized, stale talking points answers to open-ended debate questions.

Whatever turns you on. It's a "free country," right?

But, all that being said, if you watched last night's debate and came to any conclusion other than "Holy shit, Biden cleaned her fucking clock," then you, my friend, are a moron.

(And a liar.)

And you're also someone who's comfortable with the prospects of more executive branch shenanigans. Or did you miss that part about expanding the role of the Vice President in the Senate?
