When i watch a presidential debate i think to myself can this get any more boring and it always does. Mainly cause you have people up there that have to be proper and robotic so they can show a good image. Now i know they have to be coached so they can answer questions the way the people want to hear them answered. What i would like to see is these group of men and women in a straight up old fashion debate throwdown. I am talking about yelling, cussing, name calling, just anything you can debate you debate. Then you would find out who can walk the walk and talk the talk.

Then to make it more rambunctious invite real people like the working man, college kids, junior highers, middle schoolers, high schoolers and senior citizens to ask the questions. This would pretty much make the candidates have to think. Those are the people that the candidates are gonna be over for the next 4 years. So why not answer there questions and show what there made of. I mean seriously wouldn't it be nice to know who's real and who's fake. I know you can say well whats that gonna prove and the answer is everything and more. Cause its sporatic and its good and shows smart thinking.

In closing i know that none of this will happen but i would like to see it. Mainly because candidates hide behind what they say they will do and not what they actually can. It would show me that so and so isn't afraid to fight for whats right and not whats right for them. I think to many people get away with the cans and will and when they get into office its the mights and maybes.
