This is the campaign journalists have been salivating over. Clinton vs. Trump. If it were a movie it would be Animal House. Think of the scene where Belushi smashes the nerdy folk singer’s guitar against the wall at the toga party. If it were a fight it would be a heavyweight championship fight, the kind with eye gouging and low blows. Ratings for the first debate between the two contenders will go through the roof. A dirty fight makes for great TV -- and even more important, big profits. The only bad news for the moguls who run television networks is that unlike a big fight, they won’t be able to put the campaign on pay-per-view. But if they could, they would.
