The debate scenario is already taking on the character of a WWF match.
Just stop it already.
We really are a country full of drama queens, aching for a no-holds-barred shouting match between old white men, which, on the face of it, sounds ridiculous, the poster child for irrelevance. Biden’s camp is trying to set boundaries. Trump, even though he shouldn’t be anywhere near a debate stage by now, most likely will take exception to these. So we’ll see what we end up witnessing.
Call me old fashioned, but a one-on-one without an audience, only a moderator, and the threat of turning mics off if things get too loud and off-topic—this all sounds good to me. See if Trump can handle 90 minutes, or whatever the time frame will be, of an honest back and forth, a helpful and hopefully clarifying debate of real issues that will demand preparation and knowledge and a certain amount of restraint.
Yes, that’ll happen about the same time as reports of porcine flight.
First one in June, I guess, and the second one in September. Imagine the media build-up, the pre-debates debate. November 5 can’t come fast enough.
