    Default What is the point of a debate if truth isn't going to be a factor??

    Or if one can have their own version of "the truth" & present that as fact??
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    In Deplorable world a debate is just a show to see who is more enjoyable to watch, facts and truth don't matter to them.

    What is the point of having a debate and then not debating?

    Clinton and Trump will not debate each other tonight. I will roll over in shock if they ask each other questions directly.

    Since neither candidate is renowned for honesty, why expect anything different that than usual?

    I'm not sure the rules permit them to directly question one another, Nott the Stoople.
