Ken Bone split his pants on way to debate - had red sweater as backup



Ken Bone, the undisputed winner of last night’s debate, despite the fact that he can’t decide whether or not he’s voting for Trump, appeared on CNN this morning wearing the same red sweater he wore last night. He made this fashion choice, he explained, because he split his pants on the way to the debate.

“I had a really nice olive suit, and my mother would have been very proud to see me wearing on television, but apparently I have gained about 30 pounds,” Bone told Carol Costello Monday morning. “And when I went to get in my car the morning of the debate I split the seat of my pants all the way open. So the red sweater is plan B. I’m glad it worked out.”

“I was leaning very heavily towards Donald Trump but Secretary Clinton impressed me with her composure and with a lot of her answers. So now I think I’m just going to wait for the last political debate and in this cycle you never know what could happen.”

And they think there is something really openmindedly special about not having committed. I just think they are uninformed and like the way each side makes a play for them. After all this time, I don't see the point in trying to talk them into voting Democratic. If they aren't able to sift through the evidence and rhetoric at this point, I think they are almost hopeless and could fall either way. I think our efforts are better spent in getting people registered and to the polls.

are dumber than dirt. Anyone still "undecided" four weeks before the election is not worthy of any of the attention they are getting. They are hopeless and hopelessly ignorant.

"minimize job loss"?

when an energy economy re-organizes structurally, jobs go extinct: coal miners are going to go extinct (largely), and you can't minimize that.

This isn't like an olive suit vs a red sweater, where probably either one will work....you either have one viewpoint or you have the other one. If he doesn't even know what his general viewpoint of the world is at this point in his life, he needs to just stay home and lock his door and never come out.

There has been more than enough time to figure out the candidates and what ideologies and national issues are important to you, especially at his age.

I wonder if we're not at a point where it's more important to get Democratic leaning voters registered and make sure they get to the polls.
