The "sizzle" sold the steak......

I remember years ago, many restaurants served steaks on a sizzling platter. They would heat the metal platter and then put it on a wooden serving unit, and then deliver the steak to your table, still "sizzling." The sizzle sold the steak. The steak didn't always live up to its billing, but that sizzle did its job.

In our recent presidential election, the voters bought the "sizzle" and never considered the steak. Now, that sizzle is gone, and reality is here.

The voters were told all the sizzle, and little to nothing about the steak, the steak was overlooked. Sizzle Sells, and that's what the voters bought.

So, what about the steak?
