Well, to be fair, you said you only watched the highlights.

I guarantee you that none of the normal question and answer sections made it into the highlights reel.

Both candidates said plenty of substance through the night.

Trump's words were definitely a substance. A smelly, viscous, substance usually used for fertilizer.

"Both", "plenty", "guarantee", etc.

I'm getting the impression you have barely a passing understanding of what these words actually mean.

Plenty here means that most of the time was spent saying stuff, and the rest was the highlights everyone is passing around.

The whole debate was designed to generate clips. One minute responses is a terrible format. All the responses were just high energy rapid fire buzzwords with no real substance.

Should we have them just explain their platforms for an hour each uninterrupted? Kinda like campaigning?
