God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The New York Post reported that the presidenti­al debate on Monday between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton drew 85 million viewers. They could only draw one conclusion. Let’s face it, the biggest problem with this presidenti­al election is that somebody could win.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump battled it out in Monday’s debate in New York. The debate drew an audience of over 85 million viewers. The next morning, Donald Trump walked outside and saw that he is leading in the polls and, traditiona­lly, this means six more weeks of comedy.

Hillary Clinton did well in confrontin­g Trump during the debate and she seemed very prepared for him. After all, Hillary had 40 years’ practice bawling out Bill when he came home late at night with lipstick on his collar. However, that didn’t keep the public from siding with Bill.

The New York Post published a list of Hillary’s past mistakes, lies and legal misadventu­res for Trump to use against her next debate. The newspaper is a huge New York tabloid. Bill Clinton is so angry at the Post for constantly criticizin­g Hillary that he’s threatened to cancel his personal ads.

Newt Gingrich after the debate hailed the polls showing viewers thought Trump won the debate and cited another poll showing Trump pulled into a tie in Democratic Minnesota. That’s big news. Democrats haven’t been this nervous since Anthony Weiner asked to borrow their smartphone.

O.J. Simpson’s prison guard in Nevada wrote a book called “Guarding the Juice” that reveals O.J. was allowed by the Aryan Nations prison gang to play first base on their softball team. Now that’s rehabilita­tion. Once reviled as a killer, O.J. ends up being the Jackie Robinson of Nazi League Softball.
