MY SAY: DEBATE RASHOMON

The Rashomon effect is contradictory interpretations of the same event by different people. I had to tear myself away from the dazzling and brilliant Israeli  TV series “Prisoners of War” now available with subtitles to watch the debate.

I have scoured the news and commentary and agree  that the media is lame and the format is ridiculous. I also agree that Jeb, Carson, Kasich and Christie are gone.

However, I think that Marco Rubio was the clear winner. While Cruz, whom I like and Trump whom I loathe were in their spitting match, Rubio was articulate, on point, and right on all the issues. More important, I like his manner and his youth and his smile and his optimism and his staunch patriotism. And…..all the foregoing remind me of Ronald Reagan…..yup…Is he perfect? Does he pass every litmus test? No….but he is way ahead of the others.
