Debates have been turning into a joke. The moderators and venue choose the question and to whom they give the question to. It's to bias. As a voter I know what a candidate must support or what isn't as critical if their opinion is different than mine. I vote for my beliefs.
The only statement I agree on is *excluding the live audience.* This is unfair to "unpopular" candidates who can't seem to get their point accross because the audience are rude and loud with their arrogant boo...
That is rooted Why CBS aloud the people to do that. We don't go no where in that way. I believe We have to Respect one each other. If You running To Be a President You Have to Show How good You're TO Be A PRESIDENT
I partially agree. If moderators asked actual questions the crowd wouldn’t be an issue. It’s hard to cheer or even boo if someone is explaining what the tax rate will be for the middle class if they are elected. But when the questions are about how will you fight racism or how do you explain your NDAs with female employees it’s pretty easy to clap or boo like an idiot.
cut the mike when time is up. cut the mike when, even after a follow up, the candidate is NOT answering the question. cut the mike when someone is interrupting.
I haven't watched these in years. You take ten people and shove them in front of a live audience and give them seven seconds to take a complicated idea and cram it into a soundbite. Why not get 3+ hours of long-format, uninterrupted talking?
For starters the DNC should stop altering debate rules to benefit the candidate they want versus the candidate the citizens vote for. Yes I’m talking about the 2020 debates.
“ Trump feels the debate commission was unfair to him” . I mean Hillary quite literally did get all the debate questions given to her beforehand, but ok let’s ignore that.
David Tyrrell No, it’s not the Russians that we have to worry about. It’s the British! They’re still mad about the Revolutionary War and want to take America back! That’s why they framed the Russians so that America wouldn’t see them coming when they attack.
David Tyrrell Yes it is. Lol It’s funny. My buddy is a politician and he says to me all the time. When things go bad for democrats they always turn to It’s Russia. I remember trump first elected. The economy is going to collapse War war 3 In short the end of the world. I’m still waiting for this to happen. I just wish someone would ask trump what’s at Area 51. You know dam well he’d jump on Twitter. Lol
I put them right up there with the award shows. Have not watched one in 20 years. Just a bunch of wineing and lieing and the only thing they address is B.S. and don't solve any real problems.Still waiting for my candy machine in the lobby.
Perry was already done by "Oops." His downfall came at the previous debate when he said if you want to deport illegal immigrant grandmas then "you don't have a heart"
@@flamegator3251 yup. I hear a lot of stuff I've never said repeated back to me about how much I hate black people and Mexicans and the environment. It's amazing how much people can infer about someone else based simply on the fact that I want the government out of my life...
Should really let the people decide some of the questions that are asked - just hold a poll on the social media of the organisation that holds the debate.
The last few debates I have watched are simply a disrespect and an insult to the intelligence of We The People. These debates are full of attacks among the contenders with absolutely no solid, intelligent arguments. There’s very little substance of what the real solutions are to the true problems in the country. There shouldn’t be live audience. The candidates should answer the question without deviating the subject at an attack on the other contender unless there’s a proper argument. We should demand this.
If Trump doesn’t show up to debate Sanders, that will only bolster the view many folks have of his thin skinned, artificially-tough personality. It would be devastating for his re-election efforts.
Is that what people said about the first Kennedy/Nixon debate? I just looked it up on UA-cam and I have no idea what they were talking about. Nixon not only doesn't look sick and sweaty, he's more animated than Kennedy. Weird.
I agree with President Trump why should he agreed to debate when the system is rigged against him. For example Hillary Clinton getting fed the debate questions by Donna brazile!
I think a good presidential debate should have two partisan hosts (one representing each candidates party) who each take turns asking questions. 1. It garuntees each candidate will get a mixture of softball and hardball questions. 2. It keeps 100% of the questions from being leaked to one of the candidates prior to the debate. 3. It destroys the claims and appearance of unfairness.
Trump is the only reason why I started watching the debates. His insults right to their faces is hilarious! He’s going to make a circus out any of the Democratic runners. lol
With so many candidates we need a debate bracket of sorts. 1:1 rotating out a candidate each time. Every night a new debate but never more than 2 people at a time!
If you do anything, please read Leviticus 23. "In all your generations, in all your dwelling areas". Notice v 3. Genesis 2: 2. And Especially Deuteronomy 28.
I don’t think anyone had a problem with a singular statement as much as the media told them to. People are pretty understanding. It’s the press looking for a lead that is ruthless and unforgiving. The media determines the prospects of a candidate, along with gullible readers who believe them an authority better informed.
The debate is a joke all staged geee im going to ask you a question what you already know on how to answer and also are you going to do is point what the other person haven't done versus what you can do and what you have done cuz God knows everybody knows what the person has about done but you going to make it clear that they never did what they wanted to
well I have to say when it comes to debating and being straight up and forward with american people Donald Trump is the best. Thank God he's our present and not that rotten as Hillary Clinton
We don't need them. We have only had presidential regular debates since 1976. They don't tell me a thing about who would make a good President. Unlike Prime Ministers who have to debate as part of the job presidents only debate during the election never as part of the job.
Phyiscal Cypress No one. It’s just another random insult that leftist like to throw around like “sexist”, “racist”, and “homophobic”. They don’t mean anything
@@SaintSC05 okay thanks for the upvote man. But I'm not very happy that Trump is even an option just because I may vote for him or Bernie. I ain't happy about these options. A narccistic celebrity and a socialist? I'm not happy with these options.
“If Trump doesn’t take part in the debate, it would be bad for the country” I’m not gonna defend Trump here, but I don’t think a man who moderates debates should say if that is good or bad.
Trump is considering bypassing the 2020 presidential debate cause he knows the other candidate will call him on his lies and he won't be able to defend himself....He will just throw insults and that will be it for him!!
Too many candidates is not my problem, that is yours. If too many candidates want to run, have another debate. Don't exclude anyone running because you can only do a one shot tv showing. Figure it out!
A great transformation will be focusing on what affects America in every answer. Not the other Runner up. Do not take away what time is given to focus on Someone Else. That leaves the American People not knowing what the Person speaking at the time is going to contribute to Americans.

The Presidential Debates almost died in its infancy when Johnson refused to debate Goldwater in 1964.
Please change the background music. It’s too apparent and distracting especially with headphones on.
????
Agreed
They've evolved into cat fights
Correction - devolved. Sorry
Most are Fat Cats with lots of unexpected wealth and perks. They don't care about us the average working class person.
Actually the whole point of debates was cat fighting... they were reallllly bad before 1900
That is so true

It’s always something
Nice name
“ Trump feels the debate commission was unfair to him” . I mean Hillary quite literally did get all the debate questions given to her beforehand, but ok let’s ignore that.
That was in the primary, as those were run by the DNC, which was trying to rig it against Bernie. In the general, she got no such special treatment.
frank gancedo did you watch any debate he’s in...
Connor Stickels She was fed questions before the debate
Only a biased opinion would not show Trump's killer moment in the Hillary debate, of "because you'd be in hail" response!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Seriously! , Like him or not, that quip was lightning fast and witty
Mr. Seib, in print and on video, remains among the WSJ's best!👍
Transformed? I believe mutated is the word you’re looking for.
Devolved
Disintegrated
Disfigured
I nearly read the thumbnail text as "The Evolution of Diabetes".
Me too
How?
In 4:06, the top left corner date of the debate between Trump and Clinton should be Oct 2016 instead of Oct 2012
The background music is highly irritating. I turned off the video.
Whyyyyy did you make me notice lol
Jamie Lapping
Oops 😬! Sorry 😐!
The one who rules the mic rules all
As it’s going trump can just kick back.
1st time in history democrats do all the work to elect a republican president

I read “debates” as “diabetes” and was immediately confused
Anyone here after the train wreak that was this years debate
Wish RANDOM ppl could call in and ask them questions live on the air.

Ever since the Lincoln/Douglas debates, debates have been devolving.
Great Tradition. Just started it here in Botswana last year.
Brilliant piece. Promote this as much as you can. Your readers and new readers will benefit greatly from it
You need to turn the bopping volume up; could still understand a few words.
Perry was already done by "Oops." His downfall came at the previous debate when he said if you want to deport illegal immigrant grandmas then "you don't have a heart"
Im pretty sure if something is going backwards it's not considered evolution.
Red Acid - evolution goes against the second law of thermodynamics- it’s called entropy- everything degrades - especially decency in politics
We have nearly the same political compass... Im slightly right and more libertarian.
@@Nswix You get a lot of people calling you a nazī or "alt right" too?

It’s all about money now and calling people racist and Rapist
Nah
You need to pander to me un spanish as well
I've never seen so many liers on one stage before
I will never forget the Carter v Ford debate
There IS a WAY better way than these debates, get each candidate on Joe Rogan

There should not be any AD buys during debates. Just to be straight through
The line that won the Presidency.
"Because you'd be in jail."
I wonder what year media companies (or their parent companies) began to determine how much time they would allow each candidate to speak?
Didn't start with JFK and Nixon. Started with Lincoln.
Don’t you mean “devolve”
If you do anything, please read Leviticus 23. "In all your generations, in all your dwelling areas". Notice v 3.

The debates stopped being useful after the League of Women Voters was ousted from sponsorship and the Party's replaced the League in 1987.

The same guy in this video really tried hard to get Trump out of the race in 2016. He’s one of the conservative “never trumpers”.
It seems like now it’s about attacking
Yes, you're completely right. It has evolved into kids fighting over a shiny new toy. They lie more often than anyone else combined.
I guess transformed works... personally I would have gone with devolved.
Are the click sound effects really necessary? Trying to make it more intense....? Good try 😂
Debates should have nothing to do with who’s the best for the job. Its sad but it’s the reality.

The last democratic debate evolved into a abortion clinic dumpster fire.
America loves Trump
Why does it cost millions to run for office, i.e. Senate, Congress, and the Presidency?
You need to buy advertising in print, tv, and internet forms, and you need to have staffers
Trump should only debate if the moderators are unbiased.
