Sorry about your health. My hearing is fine, but I don't listen to speeches - I read what was actually said. Which is why I couldn't figure out what was so bad about Biden's debate. He spoke English, Donald only spoke gibberish. Optics overrules actual words in today's world.

You are right about optics over content. As a competitive debater in high school and college, I learned the importance of both. Now, it’s all about perception and the show. Substance seems lost on a country whose people appear to have mass attention deficit disorder.

Sadly have to agree.
