Debate of the Debate?

Talk politics takes a look at the most recent presidential debate. With just about everyone agreeing that the debates were damn boring, Talk Politics has some interesting suggestions:

Calls for reform have in turn translated into abundant suggestions for how to make the trio of Presidential debates – and political debates in general — more transparent, hard-hitting, inclusive, representative, and technologically connected. They include, but are not limited to:

1. Increasing utilization of the roundtable format as employed in the final debate
2. Polygraphing
3. Dismantling the Commission on Debates entirely and overhauling the process


I watched all three of the presidential debates, and I can say that they were very boring. Nothing was covered other than talking points.

Might I suggest that any time a candidate says something that is a lie they get shocked? Then everyone will know when they lie.
