The presidential debate is about a week away, and I am pleased an audience will not be present and candidate microphones will be muted when the other is speaking. Hopefully, that will lead to a constructive atmosphere for each candidate to speak and respond to the other.
Beyond the typical format of questions, answers and rebuttals - it would be interesting to see a segment where each candidate could ask the other questions leading to a one minute response, and two half minute exchanges between the candidates before the next question is asked. In that scenario, how would Trump respond to – “Why do you:
Feel a need to resort to boorish, childhood behavior to denigrate others?
Reject actual bipartisan legislation to mitigate border migration just to debate it?
Reject longtime allies in favor of dictators and despots?
People are also reading…
[Pick one or more] Attack policies of interest to the majority of the public: climate change; reasonable gun control, access to healthcare, etc.?”
