Then just run it on PBS and let it go for as long as it needs to go on. The other networks can choose to do whatever the fuck they want. That way it's still on TV and on a basic channel.
Why bother when most of the questions are dodged (by Pence in particular) and the moderator doesn't have the wherewithal to call them out on it, much less control the debate? More people are laughing at a fly on Pence's head than any other singular point mentioned.

The parties come up with the debate rules to protect themselves. Please, cable new turns each of these into the superbowl with their pre and post game coverage to grab ratings. If the parties agreed on a 12 hour debate they would cream their pants.

The great thing about rogan is he could be like "Jamie, pull that shit up"

I think rogan's setting being more relaxed would actually ensure a much higher quality debate and would decrease the amount of people talking over others and mudslinging. When the mudslinging starts, rogan would be like, "whoa whoa, let's bring that back for a sec, you said yada yada, let's address that."

How could someone who is as powerful a speaker as Kamala lose to him?

LOL!

BlackScythe0 posted...
I didn't have time to watch it

But thankfully that didn't stop you from having a completely uninformed and wrong opinion about it.

BlackScythe0 posted...
her one strength as I see it is her public speaking ability.

Public speaking and debates are largely separate matters. How well you perform when you have complete control over everything -- and have a script -- is going to be very different from a debate. And Kamala's performance was laughable, from her attempts at fake tears to the fact that she failed to answer a yes or no question THREE TIMES despite insisting she was going to get to answering it. (And, as Pence rightly pointed out, her non-answer was itself an answer.)

And she's neither a particularly great public speaker nor has she done well in *any* of this season's debates. Hell, she got curbstomped by Tulsi Gabbard and other also-rans who never stood a chance at the election. And that beating by Tulsi Gabbard more or less put the final nail in Kamala's candidacy.

BlackScythe0 posted...
Pence has zero charisma so I'm finding this hard to believe.

If you're pretending that charisma is the only thing that matters, I suppose you're finally ready to concede that Trump won every debate he's been in?

It's weird that you highlight Pence when Kamala dodged the same question THREE times even after being asked TWICE by the moderator about it (and I'm counting Pence as having only asked it once, although technically he kinda asked it three times). And it's worth noting that most of Pence's dodges were also dodged by Kamala, and one of those "dodges" was him using that time to address an allegation where he had been cut off during his response (whereas Kamala just straight-up dodged that question by breaking into a completely unrelated tangent talking about her political journey)

But yeah, it was a lousy debate. While you didn't have candidates talking over each other (that often), you also didn't have them answering the moderators' questions let alone addressing their opponent. Both candidates seemed to want to follow a script, which was painfully apparent during some answers which barely addressed the question and seemed like something they'd either written down or memorized. Like I said earlier in the topic, it's amazing how this debate could actually be LESS informative than a debate where the candidates were shouting over each other.

A lot of people would watch 2-3 hours, if not 4. The current 90 minutes is ridiculously short, especially given the delayed start. Most movies nowadays are longer than 90 minutes.

Pence utterly and thoroughly destroyed her. I was waiting for 911 to show up due to there being a murder going on live TV. It's so funny watching her too. She has a VERY bad EASY tell whenever he schools her on a topic. She will do this little turn of her head away and look down with a smug ass smile on her face knowing she just got beat again.

Trump said he's not going to do the second debate and Biden and the FEC are saying that they aren't moving the 2nd and 3rd debates back one week.

Why is Trump afraid? I thought he was cured of the "China virus".

democrats wanna change the rules so biden can use a teleprompter and so they can cut out trump when he calls out bidens lies, it's dems who are chickening out, get the normal terms back and you'll get a debate

the rogan debate is also still on the table with trump agreeing to it and biden running away from it
