CBS might as well just put Ryan Seacrest at the VP debate to read the questions. You donât need journalists without fact-checking, and Seacrest has a much slicker delivery than Brennan or OâDonnell.

When people frame voting as a personal choice, a consumer action, they expect that they are getting a service or product that meets all of their needs. If a candidate isnât holistic when theyâre asking for your vote, then you shouldnât âbuy inâ to what theyâre selling. Thatâs not how it works!
