GOP Debate Scorecard - March 10 (Master Persuader Series)

The GOP candidates for president had a boring debate last night. My one-word summary is “capitulation.” Based on the energy on stage, it seems they stopped fighting. That means Trump can stroll to the nomination, assuming Florida goes as expected.

Let’s Talk About Hitler

The Power of Ideas

Google “Republican Debate” and see where this blog shows up in the rankings. It’s on the second page, between Forbes and CBS news. I noticed because Google Analytics showed people coming to this site based on that search term.

The ranking might change by the time you read this, but it it shows you the power of social media. 

And thank you for all the attention. I wouldn’t blog if I couldn’t see your comments. You energize me, I write. Then you strangle the bad ideas so the good ones can rise.

Collectively, we put a nice ripple on the universe.

Kind of amazing.

Thank you for this experience.
