MY CONCLUSION B4 CLOSINGS:
**I DID CNN PRE-DEBATE, BUT THEN WATCHED SOLO, AND BEFORE I HEAR ANYONE ELSE’S OPINION, HERE IS MY OWN….
1 SHE PERFORMED BETTER BETWEEN THE 2.
2 EARLY NERVOUSNESS BUT SHE WARMED TO THE TASK AS NIGHT WORE ON AND TOOK THE CASE TO HIM.
3 SHE EXHIBITED NECESSARY DEPTH AS WAS HER CHALLENGE WHERE HER LAUNCH HAS BEEN SHIELDED.
4 FROM THE FIRST QUESTION ON “ARE YOU BETTER OFF THAN 4 YEARS AGO”, HE MISSED MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO PROSECUTE HIS CASE ABOUT THE BIDEN/HARRIS RECORD.
4.5 EXAMPLE…HE NEVER WORKED IN HIS STRONGEST CASE – INFLATION/ECONOMY.
5 HE REMAINED MORE MEASURED THAN USUAL, NEVER REALLY LOOKED AT HER. BUT NO WARMTH
5.5 HIS AGE WAS NOT A FACTOR – HE WAS APPROPRIATELY FOCUSSED, NO SR MOMENTS
6 BUT HE SAID THINGS THAT WILL GIVE FACT CHECKERS A FIELD DAY, IE. MIGRANTS EATING PETS AND ABORTIONS PERFORMED AT 9 MOS, WHERE???
7 SHE NEEDED TO DEFINE HERSELF WHERE 28% TOLD NYT/SIENA THAT THEY NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HER, AND SHE DID.
8 PRE-DEBATE, NEARLY HALF BELIEVED SHE IS TOO LIBERAL..NOTHING TONIGHT REINFORCED THOSE CONCERNS AND TRUMP DID NOT MAKE THAT CASE
9 SHE WON THE DEBATE – BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THE NEEDLE MOVED TONIGHT - PEOPLE WILL SEE WHAT THEY WANTED TO SEE
10 THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE, KNOCKOUT MOMENT…NO ONE MEMORABLE LINE
11 MODERATORS DID DECENT JOB – TOUGH, DIRECT, LET THE CANDIDATES DECIDE THE OUTCOME, DID NOT OVERSTEP THEIR BOUNDS. COVERED LOTS OF GROUND.

It is true that the late Willis Reed ignited the Knicks in that famous 1970 Game 7 vs. LA. It is equally true that it really was the Clyde Game. Walt Frazier had 36 points and 19 assists.
It took 7 years but we did it. A million streams. That’s absolutely insane!
We’ve had a ton of cool experiences and met a lot of awesome people basically because of this song.
Thanks for listening.
OK…Branson took his rocket ride. Bezos and his rocket is next. Both of these self-indulgent billionaires with their own rockets make the strongest case yet for hiking taxes on the super-rich. https://t.co/Aq43TnNKIn
99% of the time I empathize with the player perspective and war against things that subvert the true spirit of competition but man F that Penalty Kicks are SICK.
What I remember is that he became famous and made money off a song about being a counterculture hippie when that was popular, and then made money off songs about being a truculent right-wing redneck when that became popular.
Looking forward to talking w/ @smerconish shortly about my @VanityFair story on the US gov't fight to probe #LabLeak hypothesis: https://t.co/9vsJWmOWZN
So here’s the absurdity of this no no-hitter. Zac Gallen threw a one hitter in the first game and that counts as a one hitter. But the no hitter doesn’t count as a no hitter because baseball!
Henry Aaron was 13 years old when Jackie Robinson broke in with the Dodgers. From there his world just expanded, and he talked to me about that.
I feel unbelievably lucky to have known him.
Take a look at Hank Aaron's page on @baseball_ref. It's awe-inspiring.

Hank got 1,000 more hits than Chipper Jones & 2,000 more than Mark McGwire.
He hit more HR than Carl Yastrzemski & Rogers Hornsby combined.
#legend
he faced overt racism, even death threats, but went on to become one of America's greatest athletes ever, and always a lovely human being: Hank Aaron, with condolences to your family, may you Rest in Peace
The media can be glad for the Biden White House’s return to normalcy. But let’s not be lulled. My column — on true accountability and holding fast to the press’s hard won lessons of recent years. https://t.co/n2xANIkl4S
