I just don't think he does that well on TV.
You are right. It is similar to Nixon and Kennedy in 1960.
What is little known about the 1960 debates is that there were 4 debates in total.
In the first debate, Kennedy rehearsed camera angles, makeup and lighting with the CBS people in the afternoon. Nixon was out campaigning in the afternoon. Nixon was tired and his appearance and demeanor made him look bad. Thus Kennedy won the first TV debate among TV watchers. Nixon won among those who listened on the radio.
But what is not said was that Nixon won the other three debates on both TV and the radio.
Thanks for the Info. Never heard it before. I thought there was only one Debate all these years.
Funny thing, Nixon actually won the Election but Kennedy’s Daddy made sure the numbers didn’t reflect it.
Nixon could have disputed the results, but chose not to for the sake of the Country.
