This sounds like a Harvard lecture to Trump's and Biden's debate
Trump university
segments about the economy and government role vs. segments about covid and racism.
Haha, that’s funny because both of those candidates were Harvard graduates!
That’s because Trump actually has the cajones to stand up against the democrats. By blatantly calling them out on their contradictions.

Funny times when people start watching old presidential debates like classic football games, saying 'Look son, that's how it was done when I was young.'
Why only the son? Where's the daughter? lol
There's a difference between debate and ranting. Debates are to show how our candidates can act under pressure with the opponent without being moved by outside stimuli
@@giovannifigueroa6307 That's absolutely correct. It wasn't even much of a rant either, because that would include long spans without being interrupted. It was two older men fighting on camera. Plain and simple.
Yeah, I want Kobe back too.
if "when i was young" means having basic respect and organization between arguments and differing ideals
This debate makes the one with Trump and Biden seem like a ghetto fight over America’s custody.
Underrated comment
back at a time when presidential debates were between respectable intelligent people.
a what fight? .____________.
I don’t think trump was allowed time to debate at all. They just answered the questions, and not allowed to comment on each other’s answers. This moderator was better than Wallace. That’s for sure.
@@melodylin8622 did we watch the same debate?
Even when disagreeing its “mr President” or “governor Romney” I miss this class
that's how it was in today's debates, both sides respectfully addressed title... stop this random BS
Obama didn't show respect when he lied to the American people about Obamacare: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan." Nor did he show respect when he weaponized the intelligence agencies and authorized spying on the Republican party candidate in 2016.
@@jrbeckman2194 if we're going that route, then obama definetly didnt show respect when he ordered direct action from troops in 7 new countries and resulted in many of my brothers in arms to be killed for no real cause
Now also there's a class but it's too low.
zach rubin you really think Obama himself did that on his own? I understand it’s easy to blame one person for something but all presidents is puppets on a string! RIP to your falling brothers 🇺🇸
Presidential debate that actually discusses candidates' policies instead of trash talking about the opponent's private life
H N the most recent one. This debate got policies cleared up and had solid points going back and forth. The most recent one was the most childish showcase of grown men in a leadership position you could’ve had.
Max Robinson the moderator isn’t the blame for everything LOL they are grown men and can’t even debate right.
But somehow your country is in better shape than those times...
You are a fool if you don't see this as a show, your allegations state towards your liking of the candidate but not the results. Don't you think a whole country could find better candidates?
I mean, Kamala vs Pence was a pretty solid debate despite the moderator highly favoring Kamala and Kamala straight up avoiding the points which at one point forced pence to moderate her
Blame the left for having to resort to play dirty when they realized they couldn't win.
This is how the president debate should be, not the t.v. show we got a couple days ago.
@Rydwan Fee a joke, you mean?
This is just a debate from the polite paradigm, that's all.
@Mom only trump supporters usually do that 😂😂😂
Nah this is boring
Mom.... they are both politicians...

This is how a presidential candidate of both sides should behave and talk...
Even when they aren’t in agreement it’s “mr President” or “governor Romney” it’s about their plans and not just name calling. Sure it gets heated but it’s nothing but class. I’d vote for Romney now over anyone now!
Foley Eaton he’s too weak. So weak that Biden said a vote for him is racist as he’ll chain black People up again....
The media would screw with that saying Mitt will implement a systemic racist loop. It’s disappointing But most likely true. Watch Joe Biden and Paul Ryan. Biden is lying yet no one stops it. Not even the moderator....

@@julystylez5087 The circus is entertaining at times but a good leader is composed and mature, now whether or not we agree with their political views is another story but behavior and composure under pressure is really important.

everyone here talking about "this is the presidential debate we deserve" is wrong. you get what you vote for. the fact that we had 17 GOP candidates in 2016 and 29 Dems in 2020 yet we ended up with Biden and Trump says it all. we'll get better when we vote better, and that goes for BOTH parties
bruh
I liked Biden but I do agree with you
So who is better?
Couldn't have put it better myself. As an outsider, it is shocking to me to watch USA descent into mayhem and in order to get rid of one incompetent guy, democrats are pushed into voting for another who also has no idea what he's in for. What a disgrace for everyone involved
Yavuz Kırat exactly, but Biden was VP at the very least. Not saying much though
UA-cam is shady recommending this after Trump’s debate
i think this was refreshing after watching the biden and trump debate 🤣💀

Even UA-cam acknowledges the mess that was Trump and Biden's "debate."
fancy recommending a presidential debate video to somebody who just watched a presidential debate!
Lmao! I was thinking the same thing
Wait a second, they agree on things... that’s not allowed in two party america where you have to stick solely on extreme right or extreme left
That's because this debate wasn't in 2020, lel.
yeah back when america was still america
Lol americas extreme left, the democrats is middle in germany
America's just way to nationalistic. germany already learned that that is not good.
I simply hope america dont have to learn the same way germany did
So good luck over there;)
EXTREME LEFT. Bidens a moderate conservative in most countries
They're both centrists
Back when presidential candidates acted like presidential candidiates.
i swear, ikr
Now they act like toddlers.
You mean when they acted like politicians? No thank you.
@@samthecloser well, this may come as a disappointment to you, but Trump is by definition of the post he holds, a politician, no matter what he tells you.

Nope, this just so happened to pop in my recommended.
Same
Every body? How about the people who watched this before "Trump and Biden debate" even existed?
Shhhhh
Karlen Bell I'm talking about the fact that people are coming back to this video to compare the two debates.
I think, obviously this debate is LEVELS more professional than Trump vs Biden, but something that I really liked about this debate was they just seem like humans. Obama talked lovingly to his wife and Romney spoke on his five boys. They are able to joke and respect each other, and it feels like I can relate to them rather than have to skip through the portions of two grown adults interrupting and not answering basic questions about they’re plans or views. The difference is amazing.
omg i noticed that and i love it. honestly i feel like i learned a lot watching this and it felt like i was watching two of my peers talk event though my peers are not in high government lol

For some reason I almost cried when Romney said “Mr. President, you are right.” So cordial and respectful and Jesus how did we get to where we are now
Time stamp?
One word. Trumpf. 🙁
Because a cordial Republican like Romney was unjustly smeared. For example Joe Biden said Romeny would "put blacks back in chains".
Republicans were forced to fight fire with fire, and Trump became the nominee.
We got here when voters put a draft and tax evader with ZERO experience in government, several bankruptcy's and a street talking attitude in the oval office.

Romney is very calm when he talks. He doesn’t get mad, or upset at all. Seems like a nice man. Disappointed though he didn’t run as the Republican candidate and Trump did. I wish Romney ran again.
He doesn't get mad because he's a psychopath. He's an expert shyster. I prefer the raw passion of Trump and Biden.
@@gistfilm Raw passion belongs at the rallys, not when you are discussing policy. The debate is to give you a clear image of the candidates without all of the propaganda. What I saw at the debate stage was two men fighting to see who is the worst candidate. A debate is there to see which vision you think is best. Think of it like two lawyers in court, the prosecutor is not insulting the defense attorney, denouncing his credentials, or yelling at him. They retain a decent level of respect to each other allowing the jury to make a level headed decision.
remember when presidential debates were actually respectful and intelligent? And when it consisted of good arguments and not just insulting your opponent and attacking their personal life?
DID YOU JUST USE THE WORD ”SMART?
Dont ever use that word with me again..

To be fair, Trump vs Biden was a good debate, because they actually argued against each other instead of going in turns stating their beliefs and exchanging thoughts.
@@OnClase I'm afraid not. What happened one week ago trambled courtesy and the basic consensus that debate is to prove one's idea is better rather than to prove the opposite speaker is a worse person. 80% of people complain they have no idea of what are the candidates' views. This is just good evidence showing that they didn't state their beliefs and thoughts effectively.
Hopefully pence and Harris will look like this

Aww. I feel ya. This nation is being shredded to pieces and theres people out here thinking Trump is singlehandedly doing that. He's not. It's everything altogether, yes even the Democratic party and indeed the provoking media.
Victoria Cabrera you’re absolutely right, couldn’t have said it better myself.
First comments by Obama: "It's not about where we've been, it's about where we're going." Oh what I'd give for Trump and today's political landscape to even pretend to understand what that means. Trump is nothing without his superlatives. He doesn't care about improving anything, just about what he can compare to others right now. And if it's even a fraction better, it's obv the best anyone could ask for. It's ridiculous. He couldn't have possibly done anything more for anyone... He has no sense of reflection or improvement at all.
And then Romney with the truth: "High-income Americans are doing just fine in this economy and they'll do fine whether you're president or I'm president." What happened to this sentiment? I stopped watching after that; I'd already seen enough. I don't need to be any more depressed by all the logic and common sense we've lost
Look at these two: respectful of each other and the moderator, having a meaningful and detailed discussion about policy. Absolutely stunning. And they're not just trying to hit each other with zingers, and the audience is so quiet you didn't even notice they were there.
Just here to remind ourselves how a REAL presidential debate should be like.
Yeah .it wasn’t so biased
Josh Cooper what?
So this is what an actual debate looks like ...
Very refreshing, isn’t it?
the way mitt congratulated the president on his anniversary is so kind and wholesome
Obama says sorry for making a point for over 2 minutes. That's a president.
More like preschoolers. "Teacher, he hit me, he took my legos" was all I heard
@@Lou-nl7el Well, it is a civilized presidential debate with mutually agreed rules lmao
Yes.
You know what I loved about this debate??
It was like watching two gentlemen properly debate serious issues. :)
That's exactly the reason I came here! I just wanted to look what a presidential debate usually looks like.
And that’s exactly the reason Trump had so much appeal sadly. People got sick of gentlemanly talking heads making big promises and not delivering.
Trump became President because our problems were so severe we needed a man who specifically was *NOT* a gentleman.
@@analystzorncasteel3047 idiot
@@AmericazGotTalentYT .. What somebody who just doesn't get it - calls other people.
People treating Romney like he was the worse person ever is why we have Trump now, can't keep crying wolf. I hope in the future when a Marco Rubio or Nikki Haley run for president we get better arguments than "They are EVIL!!"
100%
A well-mannered but manipulative and selfish businessman is still kinda evil.
@@felisasininus1784 if he went in and saved 1/3 of Toys-R-Us's jobs people are better off than 100% job loss that happened. He has very little to gain from public service, when your definition of "Evil" is that low, people stop caring what you have to say.
I support Biden and I love Romney.
@@pingukutepro that is fine, my point is people need to pick and choose who they are going to demonize or we will end up with more Trump like presidents in the future.
and they’re both very well spoken, as well compared to biden and Trump
Very true. I feel like Romey is so intelligent and was right on a lot of the topics. Wish I voted for him
i forgot covid wasn’t a thing in this debate and got confused why they were shaking hands.
Same lol
That keeps happening to me..that and being surprised when people in movies and shows aren't wearing masks 🤦♂️ it's become the norm
Wow these guys debate so professionally compared to Trump and Clinton
Trump debated Hillary pretty well without insults she was lying the whole time and calling him racist etc
LOL did you watch the same debate we all watched? Or are you living in your own reality as well?
trump lied at least 30 more times than clinton
Trump has aproximately the same points with Romney, but he never gets where he want because he's new in politics. While Clinton is a devil and has many lies and crimes who goes on and on and on... But she has good talking
skills
***** LOL you saying that Trump has the same points as Romney is an insult to Romney. I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate that. And that's coming from a Democrat.
This debate overwhelmingly highlights the recent changes in political debate culture. Two people who have a respectful discussion, who let each other finish - yes, we do have the two minute limit for answers, but it almost seems like there is mutual understanding of granting each other the time to talk. Candidates try to use provocative interruptions and questions for their own good - no blunt returns of "I am talking, will you let me finish!" or "Shut up!".
No matter your political views, this should be a STANDARD for political exchange. Let's work on ourselves getting back to that. State your opinion, but also listen to others respectfully. Together we will decide what is best.
Back when moderators weren't one sided and actually neutral.
