Ahh, Amerika. what Kafka and others have called "The Greatest Show on Earth." Or did he call it the World's Biggest Circus? Either way, both are true. Great piece.
I've never been a fan of boxing or debates or Republicans, but you really made this fiasco read quite entertainingly. A real knock-out, you could say. You're the winner!
Very creative and clever! I was in Georgia, about an hour away from Fulton County Courthouse, this past week where Donald Trump was booked. It was a madhouse.
I am convinced that this sort of wording is what leads to the violence wound through the Conservative Party. In politics, religion, and daily life. I appreciate your piece highlighting it.
Thank you! Election coverage is pretty much all spectacle over substance is my general impression. Part of a two-party system where both parties agree with each other on most substantial issues, so a lot of them are not even on the table. The media has got to talk about something to make it seem more dynamic and antagonistic than it actually is.
I chuckled at the last paragraph in particular. How accurately portrayed this pathetic “boxing match” is! Thanks for imbuing the stale coverage with creativity and humor.
Indeed, amusing that so few words need to be changed to turn the event into (any kind of) show of force.

It’s The New York Times Robert, what do you expect ?
An activist paper now, not the beacon of light in journalism it may have been back in the day.
Fair... but it's just one of those things, I know it on a rational level and then I'm still somehow surprised by it.
