My brain is encumbered, hindered and on overload as it relates
to last week’s analysis of both GOP debates. If one was to believe everything
political pundits and commentators state then we are left with but one
conclusion. Most front-runners hate debates. They are the antithesis of the very
well known, if not wholly accurate, clause in the Hippocratic Oath, “First, do
no harm.” The Hypocritical Political version of that, if one is leading the
pack; "First, take no risks." Is this not reason enough to explain why
campaigns spend so much time, energy and money on multi-media ads? They can
control the timing, the placement, the content, and the costs. "Low risk, high
reward." Debates are the opposite: "High risk, low reward."
If you're in first place and do very well, the best you can do
is still be in first place. The worst you can do is not be in first place following
the debate. This is probably why we have yet to see Hillary debating, much less
answering questions.
