Quote by: bishop  agreed. it was completely uninspiring - and sad to realize that millions of people are eventually going to vote for one of these people... that is the only thing worse than the candidates themselves imo. |
I watched it as well.... the YouTube videos were of course not as unplanned as they would like you to imagine.... they selected the ones they wanted to throw up there for them to answer, and many were very good questions which helped put a human face to those concerns of the US people..... but these candidates responded and commented just like they all have done in the past.... pre-planned.
The YouTube questions deadline was on Sunday and the debate was on Monday.... for the time it takes to pick them and then prep them for the show, there was plenty of time to show them what questions we're coming their way.... they were already prepared for the questions before the thing began.... none of them got stuck, none of them were all that uncomfortible with the questions, and they responded with the same rhetoric as always..... all kinds of ideas and solutions that the people want to hear, with no actual plans to follow them through.
I will admit, Clinton did have the upper hand for most of the debate, imo.... and she knew how to answer the questions rather then just feeding what the public wanted to hear unlike the rest.
It was a nice transition to something better then before for a debate.... we here have brought in a few questions from the public on occasion with our poloticians, but I can't come close to admitting for a fact that it isn't already pre-arranged either..... that's politics I suppose.
