there’s no point debating at all because it doesn’t change anyone’s minds, it’s just who can score the more points. trump knows how to score points: be funny and roast the competition rather than droning on about politic minutae that no one watching truly cares about or remembers
and if the issues are so serious, why would you not interrupt the opposition and be underhanded rather than letting him carry on to be polite? pandora’s box has been opened, debates are effectively entertainment and people want their guy to be entertaining. i wish someone on the left would adopt the trump style bombast and use it benevolently
I don’t know. I agree with you, but part of me thinks we shouldn’t stop trying to win Republicans over to the moderate center (notice I didn’t say “left”). Because, if not, then what’s the point of politics, exactly?

Isn’t the point of politics to find a set of rules dissimilarly minded people can live by together?
