What should a presidential debate sound like?

Note how well spoken, polite, and knowledgeable Kennedy and Nixon are. Especially Kennedy. Now compare this to Trump vs. Biden.

It was a different era then, if they had acted like Biden and Trump recently did, the People would have been horrified and turned off their TV's in disgust. Everyone was more polite and civilized then. That didn't last for much longer...

Perhaps they should do that now. I think I heard that viewing figures for these things are much lower than they used to be.

@Frank52 It's no wonder, i watched it but it was a complete joke, the actions and words of both men were abhorrent, neither of them would make me want to vote for them. Neither man showed any respect for the voters who maybe wanted to hear about their policies and what they're going to do to improve the People's lives. This was more like a freak reality show between 2 inbred neighbours fighting over a fencepost. They should BOTH be ashamed of themselves.
