Sanders, Graham set to square off in new debate series

[Uncle Joe]

Liberal firebrand Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Trump-allied Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are set to square off next month in a policy debate at a full-size replica of the United States Senate in Boston.

The debate series is the brainchild of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) who is hoping to rekindle the Senate’s tradition of debate and collegiality, which many senators feel has gotten lost in recent years as the use of filibusters has become more common to block debate.

Sanders and Graham are two of the most prominent members of the Senate and both gifted orators who have a knack for revving up their parties’ bases and infuriating ideological opponents.

“The genesis was a number of organizations were having these conversations kind of separately and amongst ourselves,” said Bipartisan Policy Center President Jason Grumet of talk among the three sponsors about how to revive the spirit of constructive debate in Washington.

2. Gifted orators?

Revving up their parties' bases? Bernie does not belong to a party. As far as that goes, neither does Graham. He belongs to a cult that used to be a party.
