In today's podcast, we (Noah Rothman, Abe Greenwald, and I) talk about the post-debate Donald Trump and how he's like a golfer who tied it up on the ninth hole in the final round, then bogeyed 10 while his opponent made par—and after that, can't get out of his own head and starts spraying golf shots around the course like billiard balls. And all over the weight of a 1996 Miss Universe. We also say goodbye to Shimon Peres, a great man who made great mistakes—mistakes misunderstood by those who want to use his legacy as a truncheon against Benjamin Netanyahu on grounds that his approach to peace is isolating Israel. Isolating Israel? Um. no, as this COMMENTARY article by Lazar Berman makes clear.

On the first of this week’s two COMMENTARY podcasts, we discuss the not-so-great debate and why and how Donald Trump did so poorly despite a good first ten minutes. It’s gonna hurt, but it’s not over and liberals better be careful about getting too comfortable. Give a listen. Source

Big news: The COMMENTARY podcast is going twice-weekly. In this, our second of the week, we delve into the question of who’s really leading in the presidential race (it’s a she) before sinking our teeth into the entire question of the value of debates, what happens in them, how the candidates try to play the refs, and whether everything that is going to happen is already baked in the cake.
