Watching the Democratic debate Sunday night, I was struck by how different it was without a live audience. It was more like an actual debate, and not the sound bite-driven circuses we have gotten used to. I propose that all nationally televised presidential debates now be done this way. Let the two candidates actually debate the issues, without the opportunity to play to the audience.
With the entertainment factor removed, let’s see how our current president demonstrates his grasp of the issues in a real debate environment. I think we would quickly be able to determine whether his suit was empty.

Haverhill
Note from KBJ: How did he do against 16 Republicans and then Hillary Clinton, Phil? Bring it on!
