When did I say it did? You said the debates were tame. Compared to trump Clinton sure. I'm saying social media caused increased hostility in politics and it plays out in presidential debates.

Until we see a significant decline in social media use, presidential debates will be more hostile. Not necessarily increasingly hostile from election to election (ebbs and flows do happen), things like personality of candidates do matter, but 2008 was the first election of the current era. Social media is why, even moreso than the financial collapse
