About Me
I was able to watch this debate. I wish that they would do the same for VP candidates so that informed voters can make better choices come electtions.
ReplyDeleteI was able to watch the debate from start to finish and it is really nice to see that this kind of public debate so people have the idea how knowledgeable these candidates are with the regards to the position they are aiming... Through these debates, i hope people are not smart and wise enough to vote for the right person to lead our country
ReplyDeleteThis is really a good initiative as we get to know more about the different candidates and their platforms.
ReplyDeletethis is a really good way for the voters to know the presidentiables even better. i have only watched part of it on youtube and i will finish it over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI also watched it together with my family. I don’t know but I feel that the time allotted was too short. I hope the next 2 debates are longer and focus more on relevant questions not intrigues. I’m also looking forward in the vice presidential debate.
