KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Post-Debate Creepy Porn Lawyer Edition. “Debates are the worst parts of these interminably long modern presidential primary seasons. They’re farcical affairs moderated by faux journalists who think they should get as much attention as the candidates.

WATCH VIRGINIA: Guns the No. 2 ‘extremely important’ issue in 2020. “While guns and gun policy can fall away as key talking points in presidential elections, this year may prove different because pro- and anti-gun forces are fighting in several states and because all the Democratic presidential candidates are favoring different gun bans and controls. That is similar to 2016 when Hillary Clinton endorsed a gun ban, and President Trump was endorsed by the National Rifle Association.”
