Hillary Clinton and the post GOP debate moment

Hilarious Jimmy Fallon, thankfully, helped Hillary 2016, with uplifting humor, post the outrageous GOP failed performances, following Wednesday's September 16, so called "debates". 

Cicero is likely churning in his proverbial Roman grave by the comparisom between the made for TV stand up stump speeches and the word "debates". Nevertheless, CNN apparently received its highest ratings, ever, during the political stand up routines.

Fallon's skit with Mrs. Clinton went on after the CNN event, on his "Tonight Show".  In fact, the obvious joviality between Fallon and Mrs Clinton, who easily rehashed the stand up debates with humerus style, was an upstage of the GOP event.

Rather than ask his Democratic guest, Mrs. Clinton, a litany of predictable questions about how her potential rival opponents performed during the stand up "Donald Trump political theater", Fallon went directly to the quick, with a funny split screen skit.

At today's check, more than 2 million people have gone to the Jimmy Fallon skit on YouTube, where it's posted. Obviously, many more millions watched the show, when it was broadcast. 

One obvious difference between the Fallon skit and the drudgery of the GOP debate is that the YouTube video will outlive the boring exchanges, scripted in the CNN led "debate" (sorry Cicero).

I suggest Mrs. Clinton hold her demeanor with the Jimmy Fallon interview for the remainder of the campaign. She can certainly do no harm, while appearing to have a good time, when delivering her salient messages to the American people. In fact, I'm wondering how Mrs. Clinton could consider a Jimmy Fallon look alike to stage other comedy routines for her, at various and strategic campaign stops.  

Nevertheless, although running for president is extremely serious business, our nation needs to take the opportunity to contrast the candidates in all milieus, including on late night TV with the talented Jimmy Fallon. Mrs. Clinton's comedy was certainly meaningful and memorable.  

On the other hand, the stand-up, made for TV, Trumponian debacle was probably rated as an okay performance for his "Chumponian" followers. 

Nevertheless, it's doubtful anyone who watched the CNN interviews or "quasi debates" can talk cogently about anything, any of the candidates, actually said.

Jeb Bush better be careful about criticizing Pope Francis - the Pope is popular!

Will "Jeb!" attend the Papal Mass with Pope Francis, in Philadelphia, on September 27th?

Governor Jeb Bush (a.k.a. "Jeb!) speaks reverently about attending Roman Catholic Mass, while also speaking Spanish on the late night Jimmy Fallon show (a majority of Hispanics are Roman Catholic). Then, "Jeb!" criticizes the popular Pope Francis, about his position on climate change! These are obviously confusing political messages. 

What "Jeb!" doesn't "get" is the popularity of Pope Francis, especially when his beloved Holiness is compared to the past unpopular Bush family's international policies.

Perhaps, highlighting the issue of being Roman Catholic might work for "Jeb!", but he simply can't go around criticizing Pope Francis while, at the same time, publicly practicing his faith. One of the two philosophies must go underground. 

"Jeb!" either buries his skepticism about climate change or he puts his Roman Catholic faith underground. It's simply unethical for him to continue to carry both banners.

Pope Francis warns of destruction of Earth's ecosystem....

Explosive intervention by Pope Francis set to transform climate change debate.  The Guardian reports that Pope Francis will publish his Papal letter in five languages.

Jeb Bush attends Mass

The most anticipated papal letter for decades (perhaps since Pope Paul VI)  will be published in five languages on Thursday. 

His letter will call for an end to the ‘tyrannical’ exploitation of nature by mankind. 

Could Pope Francis lead a challenge in the battle against global warming?  Obviously, the Pope, who also happens to have a background in chemistry, is putting climate on his short list. 

Therefore, this means Pope Francis will advocate for this science with the world's Roman Catholic's. 

Consequently, "Jeb!" will become as unpopular as his father and his brother, if he intends to join the international community as an elected president, who doesn't believe in climate change. 

Even more graphic, "Jeb!" will be embarrassed when the Pope, who is his faith's religious leader, stands up against him to speak publicly about climate change. 

By the way, will "Jeb!" attend the September 27th, Festival of Families and Papal Mass, when Pope Francis visits Philadelphia, this fall?

"Jeb!" must realize the enormous world wide popularity of Pope Francis. 

Jimmy Fallon's night television show, featuring a skit with "Jeb!" won't help Bush to become a better Roman Catholic.  

On the other hand, joining in an agreement with the popular Pope Francis and his position on climate change, will improve his prospects for becoming a popular presidential candidate.
