These debates are a joke - they’re actually beyond useless.
How to fix them...
To have a debate that exposes the true strength and weakness of each candidate you need a setup closer to that of a courtroom.
Each side gets to pick his advocate (attorney) to question both candidates to showcase the strength of his candidate and cross examine the other for weakness or lies.
There’s also a moderator (judge) who simply enforces the rules of the debate but not ask any question.
The audience (us) is the jury.
Trump ought to propose this- he would win in a landslide.
What do you think?
That is how it should have been done, yes, but it’s too late in this election to make it happen. Most voters have already made their choices anyway.
