Thoughts on tonight’s debate: During the Biden/Trump debate Jake Tapper and Dana Bash interrupted or corrected Trump not a single time. Not ONE single time. Tonight, ABC moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis interrupted or corrected Trump 11 times. Tonight was 3 to 1. Kamala did her best to agitate and try to get under Trumps skin by bringing up certain lies. 1. Project 2025 2. She claimed he said he will terminate the constitution. 3. Mis-using “Bloodbath” 4. Charlottesville 5. January 6th 6. He wants to be a dictator on day one 7. Donald Trump left us ⁃The worst unemployment ⁃The worst pandemic in The last century Trump followed through to try to get under her skin: 1. They left the tariffs Trump left on China for 3 1/2 years 2. She hates Israel 3. “She doesn’t have a plan. It’s like 4 sentences”. 4. I was gonna send her a Maga Hat. 5. Her father is a Marxist. He taught her well. 6. Her Vice President pick. Abortion in the 9th month. 7. Her boss. He spends most of his time at the beach. 8. They didn’t fire anyone 9. I‘m sorry. I ‘m talking now. 10. She is Joe Biden’s 11. This is a crooked Her highlight of the evening: 1.Abortion topic - She was able to articulate that very well Her downfall 1.Economy - you could tell she doesn’t know much about the economy. She seemed very nervous. His highlights: 1.Economy 2.His track record with no war when he was president 3.He challenged her to leave the debate stage and go to DC to Sign a bill to say the border is closed. His downfall: 1.Eating dogs Biggest Marketing mistake of the night: Kamala thought it was a good idea to say: “I invite you to go to one of Trump’s rallies. People leave the rally early.” Terrible idea when you have zero moral authority of not doing any rallies. Trump’s marketing team can and will easily use that as a clip to drive to his rallies. Last observation about tonight’s debate: 1. Kamala kept looking at him mocking him when he was speaking. 2. Trump didn’t look at her when he was speaking. Thought on moderators once it was done: 1.When they asked if Kamala has met Putin, why didn’t you FOLLOW UP on the question? The people never got an answer. 2.Even thought they interrupted Trump consistently, They did better than expected 3.David Muir did his best to be fair to both candidates. I give him an 8 4.Linsey Davis asked one of the toughest questions of the night of Kamala even though you can tell she didn’t like Trump. I give her a 7 5.For whatever reason, it seemed like Linsey Davis went 20-30 minutes without asking a question. Not sure if ABC was behind it or if it was pre-planned. Not sure but it was a bit weird. Kamala sounded like a condescending aunt lecturing kids. Trump sounded like an angry patriot defending his nation. Either way, this was a better debate than Biden/Trump.

It’s a what? Ohh …

A recent study from @DavidLBrownMD and colleagues has challenged the notion that MI, yes, myocardial infarction, is *NOT* a reliable surrogate marker for death. Wow. Read my commentary on one of the most important studies in 2021. medscape.com/viewarticle/962… #cardiotwitter

OMG

ARVC=Epi. As for first-line approach, operator discretion/experience/shared decision should dictate, but we need an RCT. There is no triangle of dysplasia with regard to VT substrate. @HughCalkinsMD #ablateVT

The US and the @CDCgov is completely out of step with the rest of the world on this issue. Neither the @WHO nor the @ECDC_EU recommend that children so young be required to wear masks. I'm sure many would say they are against it. But here we've been, all year, not fixing it.

Today's edition of The Morning uses a fable from Judge Guido Calabresi to help put Covid risks in context... nytimes.com/2021/04/19/brief…

Absolutely. An analogy I use is that ablation is like putting out a fire. It’s easier when it’s smaller. #cardsjc
