The People Usually Get It Right-Re Debates

The public picked the right debate winner in the 60, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, and 96 debates unfortunately the debate winner in the 1984 debates didn't go on to become president...

Hell, most folks thought Gore won the first debate until the press told them what to think...

are persuadable for a reason. They need to be told what to think.

Just like most folks thought Gore won the election until the Supreme Court and Fox News told them what to think?

3. The Most Aggressive Candidate Usually Wins The Debate..

The challenge is to be aggressive without being a dick...

Carter in 76 and Reagan in 80 pulled it off though with very different styles...
