    COMMENTS:
    This will be a faux debate because - big picture - both candidates above all else stand for the same basic thing: Big Government (out-of-control spending and never-balanced budgets, high taxes, the welfare state, the warfare state, and Big Brother's ever growing American police state). Now, an interesting, true debate would occur if Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson (polling at 5% or so nationally) were to be included; fat chance of that happening, though, as the Commission on Presidential Debates is literally and officially an arm of the Republican and Democrat Parties.
