Why Presidential Debates Can't Be Honest 

I would sooner classify it as educational parody if anything. Strictly speaking, it is still the opinion of the creators of these videos, but it is definitely not an opinion without merit...

@@reaganharder1480 it is the parody of a lie, which end up being some kind of truth

@@reaganharder1480 Woosh!

Truly

That's what political parody is

Yay

I'm already priming to post it on my wall, come November.

Every 3-5 years, however long this gig is.

Yes it is 🤣🤣🤣

This stuff is probably timeless because people are not gonna change this kind of stuff

No it isn't, they'd want him to go first and have the most time.

@The Stickman Also, more people will remember the closing monologue that any of the others. There´s a reason why many people always instinctively try to have the last word during an exchange.

That's why we need a regulation on news because their hiding on their "freedom of speech" or "free press" or whatever. They're companies, they're bound to be bias or even fake news but always misleading.

Cough cough CNN.

I would like to blatently panda to your jingoistic instincts

And I will just say that crazy guy is somewhat close to Trump. It is very clear what Trump's agenda is: make himself more rich and popular and keep it that way. But go and figure out Joe Biden's agenda. You'll end up with a headache.

So are the fish.

Ok fish

Even before the original date of this gem that goal was close to achievement, so maybe the bees? I mean, I got sting once and it kinda hurt. Who cares about the pollinators, our brilliant scientists will find an answer to that. Oh, wait, we don’t all believe in science, so how do we apportion the benefits of their expertise? Geeze, who knew this governance gig would be so complicated? - certainly not my corporate donors.

There are fish among us.

The guy loves sushi, can't blame him lol

Is the same in Argentina. Candidates that are for money, publicity are secondary posts after losing. They never answer anything, they just babble nonsense in circular arguments and throw unrelated data avoiding the questions. And instead of telling what they plan to do and how they make sentimental statements and speak against candidates blaming them for everything and telling I'll fix it this time, trust me, I am the only one that can do it.

Moderator: “Do you support abortion?” Candidate: “Well, what is abortion really? Do you define it as when there is a heartbeat or by a certain date? Did you know that 67% of women will get pregnant this year? Now my fellow candidates will say that abortion should be illegal and that just doesn’t align with my strong Christian beliefs! You know, back in ‘89 I once spoke to a pregnant woman seeking abortion and it was just heartbreaking to hear her situation.” Moderator: “Time’s up.” Candidate: “Now hold on, let me finish my sentence! Now as I was saying, I personally believe that woman’s situation was just downright horrendous and should never happen again. And that is my view on abortion.” The funny thing is, I probably wrote this inferring a firmer stance either way than an actual presidential candidate would ever say.

@quantummeme7655 Este año fue el ejemplo más surrealista. Literalmente es lo que dijo Argentvs. Balbuceando,sin decir ningún plan coherente,no respetaban las reglas básicas,se chicaneaban de maneras vergonzosas. Un jardín de infantes con problemas cognitivos tenía más orden y los podría entender,pero estos espectáculos ni siquiera intentaban minimamente parecer debates.

​@@ArgentvsImpecable tu descripción. Imagino cuanto habrás sufrido,al igual que yo,los de este año.

i laugh everytime i hear that line.

Everything that guy says makes me laugh and I still think he's more sane than the rest of candidates 😂

Clearly he's being clear with how unclear he was about being clear.

Couldn't agree more

Sounds like Biden to a T.

It would really backfire since loads of people would actually believe it

+kvnd7331 and you sir are the reason our lake is failing. they can but humans generally work far better when each fish is similar and fits in the chain well adding random outside fish just messes with the order of things and causes the system to collapse. and now on to people I know many Mexicans who are hard workers thing is majority are not I have lived in areas with them tons and compared to white areas there's a major difference I have also seen white areas with a few Mexicans but once more show up it all goes to shit graffiti higher crime rate. now this is not do to simple color but the fact Mexico is shit just full of drug traffickers peasants and shitty food. and they bring that here thinking its a gift to the world when its not. I am all fine with immigrants but not when they carry shit baggage and come from a shitty country and have no intent of bettering there own so they leach off mine. and not just Mexico there are 100 others which we should disconnect from but Mexico is the largest. attest Chinese people open up sweat shops and nail places and beat there kids into learning math and bettering them selves the others just leach off the system and cause trouble and if that's racist then so be it

Hey you don't know me how do you know I'm left wing

Sunny Mehta i dont. It was a probability guess. 1) you are on a conservative web site and asked a question designed to either a) trigger a conservative, or 2) so blatantly non sensical it could only be posed by a person who has NO understanding of how business works (in other words, a fiscal liberal). Based upon these factors, and in my dealing with lefties for 52 years, i made this assertion with at least 80 percent level of confidence. The other 20 percent unaccounted for are things like, you are angry at Trump because he has a hot wife and you dont. You are angry at Trump because he has the balls to call people out for crime (HRC) and blatant bias (MSM), and you dont. Or you secretly lust after Trump because you are part of the California homosexual cabal and he rejected you on twitter.

Exactly. Most people are fully aware of how the other candidate's policies would benefit the individuals, workers, and businesses (small and large); but, because of the letter -- (in parentheses) -- people will not vote for him.

Well, considering that all the good issue stances are Democratic ones....
