I watched the entire GOP Debate AND the Trump/Tucker interview and all I got was this LOUSY t-shirt

What. A. Week. 

Especially Wednesday night when I sat watching both the GOP Debate AND the Tucker/Trump interview. To be fully transparent, I had to watch the debate first since it was live, and then I went back and watched the 45-minute interview, and you guys ... I don't really know what to say. Part of me really enjoyed watching a traditional, old-style type of debate and part of me actually thought Trump sounded the most presidential he ever has. I have been very vocal (me?! never!) about my disappointment in Trump for not debating but maybe this was better.

The other candidates would actually get a word in edgewise (except when Vivek Ramaswamy was rattling on and on), and Trump actually focused on the questions and didn't grandstand for the crowd. Don't get me wrong, I would have really enjoyed watching Trump and Christie lock horns, but again, what good would that have done? We did get some of those moments with Nikki Haley, Christie, and Ramaswamy, but it still wasn't the same.

And now Trump's mug shot is all over the media and social media, each side cheering because they think this is a win. Hey, like anybody else, I really enjoy a good Lefty meltdown but at the same time, part of me is really so sad about what is happening to our country. Plus pretty pissed off. I never thought I'd yearn for the simple days of campaigning with candidates like Gore and W (yes, I'm ancient, thanks). But I am.

I'm yearning to be bored of politics because when things are BORING politically that means life is a bit more boring as well. It's not normal for politics to play such a huge part of our lives and yet, it does. Maybe I just feel that way because I cover this insanity what feels like 24/7, but even still, I see politics in all of our entertainment, even in our churches. We are constantly surrounded by it, in everything we do, see, read, listen to, even eat. 

The debate was actually way more interesting than I thought it would be - there were times, of course, like when Asa Hutchinson was rattling on about working with W. and calling January 6th an insurrection where I found myself sort of dozing off - but I really did want to listen. I wanted to be inspired. I wanted to feel like they were all capable of dealing with the mess Joe Biden and the Democrats have made of our country. I get it, it's not supposed to be a church service, but I wanted to be moved. And even Pence bringing up God didn't do that for me. 

With Trump, for the first time ever, I felt sorry for him. It's no big secret that I wasn't a fan in 2016, that I never got on the 'train', and even now I'm struggling with his being in the race (is it wrong to want a new face? someone younger?), but watching him talk about the hate he's witnessing, that I could relate to. Suddenly, I felt like for just a brief moment, he got me ... and I absolutely felt sorry for him and everything that's being done to him.

So, what's the point of all this rambling? That even with all of this, I still don't feel like I got what I needed out of the debate or the interview - really, all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
