A debate is just that a debate, it is a structured argument much like a trial by jury. The 2 sides present their sides and hope they have done enough to win. Political debates are no more than bashing contests, if you ever followed the BBC series “the prisoner” then you know what I mean. Debates are a farce much of it is political theater which has nothing to do with the real issues and serves to confuse the few voters who really understand the issues but provides the fact checkers and pundits something to talk about. The real truth is in the character of the debater and what they have done. No one aspiring for a high office has any idea of what is involved in the occupation of the office. The unfortunate part of this is that the major parties have nothing in mind beyond their control of the American Presidency and Congress. They  have the interests of big business as their guide and future potential employers. The parties are not required to run the government just elected representatives who do the job they were elected to do. An  Independent voter is what is required to make government work.
