Presidental Debates

Presidential Debates

After learning about how structured and planned a presidential debate is, I no longer see the need for one. Why not just have each candidate read what they believe in? A debate is supposed to be thought provoking and illustrate how passionate each candidate is about there political ideologies. If there every word and movement is being planned out what’s the point in having the debate? Many Americans just like me do not know the extent to which these debates are being planned out and restricted. If debates are going to be as orchestrated as they are now then viewers should be read the restrictions being placed at the beginning of each debate. If this does not occur then the American people get a polished and not fair representation of each candidate. If the candidate’s get time to study and do not have to face the hard questions, then how am I supposed to know how rooted they are about there issues. The debates should be unrestricted and unplanned. That way we get to see each candidate on there feet.

The only restriction to ever be placed on the debates should be use of language or things of that sort. I would like to see candidates think on there feet, ask each other question and be willing to disagree with one another. Also I would like to see the debates be corporate sponsor free as to prevent bias. As a result of these debates being so planned I no longer see debates as honest or good ways to see your candidate. I might start to consider how many times my candidate rehearsed said line is and how unwillingly they are to answer the tough questions. I want to see the candidate not the puppet of the political parties.
