The Form and Essence of the Debates

[Indeependent]

We are electing a person to lead the nation. If they cannot handle the heat of battle mano y mano in a debate, how the hell can they do any good when it is time to deal with Xi?

I want a leader who can think on his feet and not somebody who can only read the teleprompter his handlers provided.

I'd like one who can tell the truth at least some of the time. The blob cannot.

If politicians told the truth they would say they'll accomplish nothing.

One of the main purposes of the "debates" (which are not truly debates) is for the candidates to explain their policies and the reasoning behind them.

Would it not truly be beneficial to make at least a portion of the questions known in advance? Give them a chance to prepare answers - even use a teleprompter - so that the viewers can get a clear picture of what the candidates stand for.

That portion of the "debate" could also include a short time for rebuttal by the other candidate.

Another part of the proceedings could be spontaneous, with questions chosen and presented by the Moderator.

One of the real problems with this sort of event, as we have seen many times in the past, is that the candidates prepare answers and present those prepared answers regardless of what the questions were, and many in the audience don't pick up on it.

What is the purpose of the debates?

The purpose is to give the facade that there is a difference in the parties when there isn't. That isn't to say that there is no difference in the candidates...Trump is much worse than anyone the Democrats put out this time around. But when the R's and D's agree on anything--like the commission on presidential debates--the overarching paradigm is to do the following; keep the duopoly alive.

Two reasons that you couldn't pay me enough to watch any of these presidential debates (I may watch my girl Kamala kick Pence's ass);

• I made my mind up long ago on voting for anyone who would be about to oust the blob.
• The debates are meaningless exercises where, as you said, the answers given rarely match the questions asked.

When the League of Women Voters ran the debates, there was some actual give and take. Now we get pseudo-debates to where the candidates essentially debate themselves.

I agree that both parties are the same and that's why I'm thankful to Trump for running against both parties.

Thanks for admitting you never watched any of Trump's speeches or interviews when he was campaigning in 2016.
It must be pathetic to be you.

It IS pathetic to be you.
I'm much more informed than you are or ever will be.

One wouldn't know from the pathos you are constantly posting.
You come off like the ignorant fool you are.
Too much CNN, I presume.

You probably believe the "thugs on a plane" bullshit, the "inspecting the bunker" bullshit, "my taxes are under audit" bullshit. You eat bullshit like it's your only food source. Because all you consume is the shit that comes out of the blob's mouth. Inject some disinfectant into your bloodstream and fade off to sleep shit brains. You're using oxygen that could be utilized by someone with something to contribute.

You drink don't you? It's easy to tell....your anger emerges

By the way, absolutely nobody cares about VP debates

Sober up

CC does the night shift...can't you tell.
All informed people do the night shift.

I have stated this before but you're too emotional to get it.
All politicians suck.
I voted for Trump's platform and he's doing what he campaigned on.
So you can eat shit, you self-hating American POS.

Again, you're incredibly mis-informed.

There is like 5 miles of new wall.
There is like $5T more debt
There is no replacement for the ACA

He campaigned on building the wall, debt relief and replacing the ACA.

**** off.

Aside from the 80+ other items that he did accomplish...

Universal Health Care was not needed until GW destroyed our employment base by opening our borders, but you're too ******* stupid and emotional to not the US to save the whole ******* world by having them move here.

Debt...legislation determines debt, otherwise every county in the US would have zero employees.
Notice how GW's crash forced Obama to print 10T in bills and out taxes didn't go up a penny, but that would take a brain which you seem not to possess.

300 miles of wall and ICE has cleaned up Nassau County.
Perhaps you live in a Blue area where Trespassers have caused massive Black American unemployment which you don't give a shit about.

Universal Health Care was not needed until GW destroyed our employment base by opening our borders, but you're too ******* stupid and emotional to not the US to save the whole ******* world by having them move here.

Debt...legislation determines debt, otherwise every county in the US would have zero employees.
Notice how GW's crash forced Obama to print 10T in bills and out taxes didn't go up a penny, but that would take a brain which you seem not to possess.

300 miles of wall and ICE has cleaned up Nassau County.
Perhaps you live in a Blue area where Trespassers have caused massive Black American unemployment which you don't give a shit about.

LOL...

Lift your legs when you move the goalposts **** face.

I see I hit a sore spot...basically your entire Liberal "brain".

A sore spot? I debate in the manner in which I'm debated.

You say he's fulfilled his promises...an informed person would know differently. Take his dick out of your mouth for a second and ask the blob why he's a failure.

You think he promised 3 things...

Those were the cornerstones of his campaign dumbfuck. And he failed to deliver on any of them.

You want the very things Trump voters want to stop.
Trump has almost destroyed the H1-B and has been the driving force behind record low Black unemployment.
All you want is welfare.

The purpose of the debates is to give the candidates a chance to sway more voters to their side.

With that in mind, they are going to do what works, regardless of how the event is staged. They give pre-planned answers that have little to do with the question because all the media is interested in (and by extension the people as they are giving them what they want) are 30 second gotcha clips.

The state of politics atm is truly pathetic.

 

[Indeependent]

The debates will be pointless as everybody already knows who they are voting for.
Biden could come out with cum on his face and Liberals will conjure up 1,000,000 reasons for...Anyone But Trump.

Fingers dementia riddled brain is finally becoming apparent to candy corn. His rising anger is a sure sign.

For those who say that "there is no difference between the parties," there is no other response but to say that YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR ******* MINDS!!!!!!

EVERYTHING will change if Biden is elected, and if the Dems run the table, the U.S. will be ruined, destroyed, transformed, murdered.

FIRST, the Leftists HAVE OPENLY STATED that they will grant amnesty to the "11 million." The Eleven Million is, by actual count, more than 25 million, and once the decree goes out the number will be UNLIMITED. And furthermore, once they are legalized, THEY CAN BRING THEIR FAMILIES HERE, AS WELL!!!! Thirty to forty million new Americans, most of whom are on some sort of government assistance. And when that is the case, they will be reliable Democrat voters for generations.

Do you remember the margin of voters in the last Presidential election? Now give the next Democrat an additional - I don't know - 25 million votes.

NO DIFFERENCE??? You are a ******* moron.

Taxes: The Leftists who control the Democrat party openly resent financial success. The top marginal tax rates in the 70's and higher WILL RETURN. Why would they not?

Regulations: How many Leftists actually have real jobs? Do any of them? What the **** do they care about the harmful effects of excessive regulation? Do you think they give a shit about dramatic increases in electric and natural gas costs? Why would they? None of them work for a living.

The Courts? We have an entire political movement that openly scorns the U.S. Constitution. "We don't give a **** about no Electoral College!!"

No difference?????

This will be the most important election of every living person's lifetime. Don';t forget it.

The Liberals have tossed morality into the trashcan of history.
Not all Democrats agree with them, but Democrat representatives follow the headlines.

 

[gmeyers1944]

But since one of the candidates is not really doing a campaign (Hidin' Biden) this will be a chance for Americans to see him for the first time without a teleprompter and {theoretically) without the questions ahead of time.

Since CNN is not doing the first debate I think there is a fair chance the debate question will not be given to him in advance, Maybe Joe can take a few shots of Geritol before hand so he has a fighting chance. Otherwise I think he will look like what he is....a bumbling idiot.

The first debate should have been before people could begin early voting. Then they would see what an empty suit Joe Biden is.

 

[gmeyers1944]

I don't think Biden can handle a debate even with the moderators' help, which I'm sure will be provided.

I don't think Chris Wallace will help Biden. I expect that he will challenge both Biden and Trump.

 

[gmeyers1944]

We are electing a person to lead the nation. If they cannot handle the heat of battle mano y mano in a debate, how the hell can they do any good when it is time to deal with Xi?

I want a leader who can think on his feet and not somebody who can only read the teleprompter his handlers provided.

I'd like one who can tell the truth at least some of the time. The blob cannot.

If politicians told the truth they would say they'll accomplish nothing.

Biden has accomplished nothing in 40+ years.

One of the main purposes of the "debates" (which are not truly debates) is for the candidates to explain their policies and the reasoning behind them.

Would it not truly be beneficial to make at least a portion of the questions known in advance? Give them a chance to prepare answers - even use a teleprompter - so that the viewers can get a clear picture of what the candidates stand for.

That portion of the "debate" could also include a short time for rebuttal by the other candidate.

Another part of the proceedings could be spontaneous, with questions chosen and presented by the Moderator.

One of the real problems with this sort of event, as we have seen many times in the past, is that the candidates prepare answers and present those prepared answers regardless of what the questions were, and many in the audience don't pick up on it.

What is the purpose of the debates?

The purpose is to give the facade that there is a difference in the parties when there isn't. That isn't to say that there is no difference in the candidates...Trump is much worse than anyone the Democrats put out this time around. But when the R's and D's agree on anything--like the commission on presidential debates--the overarching paradigm is to do the following; keep the duopoly alive.

Two reasons that you couldn't pay me enough to watch any of these presidential debates (I may watch my girl Kamala kick Pence's ass);

• I made my mind up long ago on voting for anyone who would be about to oust the blob.
• The debates are meaningless exercises where, as you said, the answers given rarely match the questions asked.

When the League of Women Voters ran the debates, there was some actual give and take. Now we get pseudo-debates to where the candidates essentially debate themselves.

I agree that both parties are the same and that's why I'm thankful to Trump for running against both parties.

Thanks for admitting you never watched any of Trump's speeches or interviews when he was campaigning in 2016.
It must be pathetic to be you.

It IS pathetic to be you.
I'm much more informed than you are or ever will be.

One wouldn't know from the pathos you are constantly posting.
You come off like the ignorant fool you are.
Too much CNN, I presume.

You probably believe the "thugs on a plane" bullshit, the "inspecting the bunker" bullshit, "my taxes are under audit" bullshit. You eat bullshit like it's your only food source. Because all you consume is the shit that comes out of the blob's mouth. Inject some disinfectant into your bloodstream and fade off to sleep shit brains. You're using oxygen that could be utilized by someone with something to contribute.

I have stated this before but you're too emotional to get it.
All politicians suck.
I voted for Trump's platform and he's doing what he campaigned on.
So you can eat shit, you self-hating American POS.

Again, you're incredibly mis-informed.

There is like 5 miles of new wall.
There is like $5T more debt
There is no replacement for the ACA

He campaigned on building the wall, debt relief and replacing the ACA.

**** off.

Universal Health Care was not needed until GW destroyed our employment base by opening our borders, but you're too ******* stupid and emotional to not the US to save the whole ******* world by having them move here.

All you want is welfare.

And the driving force that created people like Pillsbury Rittenhouse.
