I’m not going to watch, for a few reasons.
Is it a debate, when questions will be posed of one participant, who will respond for (I think) 5 minutes, while other participant’s mic is muted. Then, the other participant will get (I think) 2 minutes to rebut.
No audience, hence, no reactions.
Is this actually a debate, or is it a dueling press conference?
One participant has already told you none of this is fair. And will complain before, during, and after.
One participant, even if providing cogent and verifiable content, will be immediately called a liar. And there will not be immediate fact checking.
Afterwards, the pundits on either side will do what you know they’ve already got planned.
Does anyone really believe that there are true “undecideds” out there that need this “debate” to give them info? Come on.
So, my decision is to not watch, and perhaps the next day find recaps from sources as close to the middle of the road that I can find.
Regardless, I already know who I am voting for, so this viewing seems totally irrelevant.
