Who actually wants to see this? They ask shit questions. They barely moderate. They don’t call bullshit when someone lies. What good would this do anyone?

  Mostly it’ll let people see how the candidates behave when unfiltered. This is a big deal in terms of perceptions.

    This has been Trump filtering himself?

It would be interesting if they did live competing identical cognition and ability testing, maybe mixed with psych testing. Interesting but sad.

I don’t see either side agreeing to debates that in any way benefit the nation. Trunonwont want to be held to account or reined in. Biden won’t want a dmgish gallop.
