About this title

Synopsis

This book offers an answer to the question, "Why are Presidential debates so bad?" The answer could be that the Commission on Presidential Debates ruined them, or it could be that we don't really know how to watch or judge a debate. This book offers both an explanation of how we historically ended up with these terrible debates and how to make lemonade out of them. The book provides a method to watching this madness without going or getting mad yourself, and what perhaps we can say to others about these debates. It concludes with speculation beyond 2024 now that the Commission on Presidential Debates appears to be irrelevant. What types of debate can we expect, and what should we demand?
