Due to a couple last minute scheduled doctor's appointments today due to recent illness combined with the fact that I had to get up at 5:45 AM for a procedure, I didn't have the time nor the strength to flush out a fully formed diary.
Thus it's open thread night here at Top Comments. Feel free to use the diary to continue discussing last night's debate. I'll also be happy to answer any deep thought questions you may have to the best of my ability.
Now onto the Tops!!
