iOS back to Obama dodging questions unchecked and giving us empty rhetoric while doing something completely different in policy. Probably the best public speaking president in history but one of the worst in policy. Google and microsoft ran the country...not Obama
So refreshing to see competency and the ability to debate with reasoning and professional behavior. No stupid jokes and childish name calling, actual people who know how to speak with intelligent arguments.
They are so respectful towards each other at the beginning of the debate. I wish that's how the current presidential candidates behaved towards each other.
That’s because both the candidates are moderates not Republican radicals or Liberal radicals. Romney was the only one in his party who is moderate and has open eyes to convict trump in the impeachment trial
When I saw the tv news a couple years ago I laughed when there were 5 people screaming at each other on screen. I was like "no way, they're breaking out in a fight on live tv, that's CRAZY! They're not supposed to do that!" And then the next weeks I turned on the news and legitimately had a headache. The shock and anger when I found out that the fighting is there on purpose and that's what they call "news debates" these days. It genuinely was incoherent, no one could ever get a full sentence out. I hate that style of "news broadcast". Ridiculousm
I think you’re giving it way too much credit calling it a “debate.” That hot mess was a dumpster fire. And I hate to disparage both fires and dumpsters when I say that. 😑
@@alexsmith2910 Yeah, in retrospect, Romney doesn't seem like such a bad choice here either. The bar hasn't just been lowered.. it's been buried under ground.
I don’t know man. There’s just something about 2 respectable human beings having a civil and intellectual debate on fundamental issues. Because with our current president, that really isn’t a thing anymore.
Romney would have smashed this election if Biden wasn't chosen but unfortunately the democrats chose biden and now we have two candidates who're gonna run this country into the ground
Jose Giovanni so I love Romney!!! He was last republican I voted for! I did vote for Adam Putum for FL gov primary. But, before I moved to FL. I was Democrat after Romney lost
I agree but I know political campaign advisors advise candidates NOT to get very specific when revealing the specifics of their policies. It’s the opposite of how it should be. There should be a written-posted-on-the-web-presidential-job-application’ where candidates specify their plans and policies in detail to the public OR they cannot apply to be President. And if they don’t follow their stated policy, voters can sue for ‘recall’ for having given false job application information.
I’m a Dem, I’m an Obama supporter, BUT, even at this very moment, I KNOW that Mitt would’ve been a far better President than Trump. Even though I differ with him on some opinions, but he makes some valid talking points and he’s a Republican that I’d be happy to have a conversation with 💯
It's amazing watching this now, especially with what's going on with coronavirus. I love how President Obama said it's ultimately his responsibility. No finger pointing, no attacking the person asking the question.... just taking responsibility and explaining how he handled the situation.
In 2012 people got angry at this moderator for fact-checking Romney about Obama’s record ONCE. In 2020, Chris Wallace spent half the debate debating Trump himself. Smh 🙄
Strange, why am I here after 8 years? Having watched the debate it is amazing they do not interrupt or insult each other. How I miss logical, rational debates instead of the garbage and complete ignorance we are getting from the current president during covid19. I would vote for the dog of Romney over Trump right now and I am not even an American. These two are the adults in the room.
Two classy guys having a spirited debate over important issues. Letting each other speak. Passionately disagreeing with each other but still listening and being respectful. Where has this gone. What have we become.
I figured it out, it's an approval rating of undecided voters in the audience. It has yellow and green lines for men and women, and a plus and minus on the side. When the rating goes higher, that means people like what they're saying.
i was 9 in 2012, so i obviously wasnt paying attention to politics or watching this debate. the first presidential debate i ever watched was in 2016. i just watched the trump and biden debate and i am just in utter shock about how different this debate is compared to the one last night. how did american politics turn into such a ugly mess in such a short time? i know it's always been an ugly mess but trump and biden were just horrible. this debate is so civilized it blows my mind.
Obama in this debate did not under-rate Mitt Romney! Considering the fact he is running for re-election! He came prepared and fought as if his life depends on it. Lots of president running for re-election gets complacent in the debate and it turned out to be their undoing!
24:27 talking about taxes and how the middle class had been left behind over the “4” years...more like 4 decades. Romney worrying about the budget back then...now it what???like 24 Trillion?
Anyone who goes out and asks specifically women to fill the open positions, isn't that sexist? Isn't it the same as the person asking specifically for men to fill open positions? How can one be OK and not the other?
Jeff "stixx" DiTaranto Uh are you referring to Obama? The person you responded to was talking about Romney, yet you said because he's black. You clearly didn't watch the debate or you have some serious cognitive issues. Romney was the one in this debate who said that he went out looking specifically for women to fill positions within his cabinet...not Obama.....
Watching this in 2020. Candidates are respectful to each other and you get to hear a good discussion on policy and the issues. I see this as a more productive debate than the ones today.
Men, this was when debates were about issues and policies. Donald Trump just destroyed America for the past four years. I can’t wait to see the sore loser gone.
you cant truely be both....your always lean to one side more its better to be independent of all parties and going for the candidate that fits you and the masses most
Romney flip-flopped again, changing his foreign policy positions. But this strategy seems to be working. Over the 3 debates, he's changed almost all of his positions, but sadly he keeps improving in the polls, if some undecided voters don't care about consistency and are ready to vote for this liar, it is very scary, romney has outdated policies on military, his stance on military budget is appaling and no one with a decent mind can buy what romney is sayin about getting tough on china.
The first question was not directed at him only, but he stands up in a prepared stunt that wasn’t appropriate to the question asked. Lesson here: wait and improvise
It's amazing to see that even back then the moderator was so obviously biased against the Republican candidate. She just let Obama say whatever he wanted and as soon as Romney tried to respond to any of the claims the moderator would cut him right off. Barry on the other hand got to respond without interruption every time.
The moderator seemed quite biased supporting Obama. For example giving almost 2 aditional minutes on some occasions (1:01:08). In that way, she made possible Trump victory years later.
she was indeed very fair, Romney carried on speaking couple times after he was told time up. What is she supposed to do. Obama was stating his plans in bullet points( numbering them) and was using his time wisely, you can tell he is a more experienced debater. Romney just got flustered when Candy rightly corrected him about the Benghazi attack.

Who just finished watching tonight’s debates.
I literally came here to get a breath of fresh air on how peaceful debates should be conducted and actually talking over the issues without having it be some big pissing contest.
Came for the nostalgia.
@@ericrobles3004 correct, Fresh air
Eric Robles They Both were Interrupting each other, but trump more. It’s was so annoying I just put some SpongeBob to Watch.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
Obama was tense, He didn’t underestimate Romney and that was very professional of him.
And crazy cause Romney tried to undermine him so many times
He was on Coke lol
@@SethMacLeod95 You were?
Anyone else here after today’s shit debate? It’s nice to see two civilized people debating properly and respectfully.
I feel you 🤗
Moderator was ass, he made it worse
Good old times 😓
iOS back to Obama dodging questions unchecked and giving us empty rhetoric while doing something completely different in policy. Probably the best public speaking president in history but one of the worst in policy. Google and microsoft ran the country...not Obama
I prefer Trump. At least he tells the truth, unlike these lying establishment clowns.
Who’s here after Trump vs. Harris?
I am
Everybody who ends up watching this in 2020 just wants to be reminded what presidential elections used to sound like before Trump entered the stage.
right, two iiars not one
And Hillary
Voornaam Achternaam Fuck you!
So refreshing to see competency and the ability to debate with reasoning and professional behavior. No stupid jokes and childish name calling, actual people who know how to speak with intelligent arguments.
Dollar be awesome to see Romney run against trump I mean of course they're in the same party but that would be cool to see
They are so respectful towards each other at the beginning of the debate. I wish that's how the current presidential candidates behaved towards each other.
don't vote for a notorious asshole.
That’s because both the candidates are moderates not Republican radicals or Liberal radicals. Romney was the only one in his party who is moderate and has open eyes to convict trump in the impeachment trial
@@Harry-om5lm the trial was a waste of time.
Super Mario Plush Harry Trump is least conservative Republican President the U.S as ever had. I don’t what you mean about radical....
Pratham Babaria man!!! I agree wow!! Why isn’t America couldn’t see the choices in 2016!! Crummy & idolt s!!!
I'm confused, why aren't they constantly interrupting each other every 5 seconds?
Because they're not Trump and Hillary.
@@arresttedrosadhanom741 I believe that was the joke, my dude.
Although I'd argue this applies to the 2020 debates as well

Man... I really miss watching two mature adults have a debate about policy.
Werberjerbins it was worse one ever! They didn’t act mature in 2016!!!!
Werberjerbins they stoled election from sanders 2 times!!!
Werberjerbins now I’m democrat I don’t agree with everything they stand for. But, I hate Red team for nominationed crummy choices.
Daniel Shay fucking shut up Jesus no one cares
Always remember you have to do something to do something wrong
I came here to recover from the Biden-Trump debate because it was the most awful debate I've ever seen.
I think you’re giving it way too much credit calling it a “debate.” That hot mess was a dumpster fire. And I hate to disparage both fires and dumpsters when I say that. 😑
LMAO remember when we all thought *THIS* was the dirtiest Presidential debate? Ah good times
Anyone here during COVID-19 era
Of course
Me
Fo' sho!
The last civilized debate the US had. Now it's just daily denial and name-calling.
Yea lol I remember when they used to not give the questions ahead of time like they did for Hillary
We miss obama
We do. I would even take romney at this point.
nah
@@alexsmith2910 Yeah, in retrospect, Romney doesn't seem like such a bad choice here either. The bar hasn't just been lowered.. it's been buried under ground.
Well if Romney won there would be no Trump (which is not bad). It would have been President Romney vs Clinton in 2016
Joanna Marroquon no we don’t
I thought i was weird for watching this debate 7 years later, but some of these comments are pretty recent lol What are we even doing here?
I don’t know man. There’s just something about 2 respectable human beings having a civil and intellectual debate on fundamental issues. Because with our current president, that really isn’t a thing anymore.
Belm Stray Remembering what logic and reason looked like.
Belm Stray we’re political junkies bro. We gotta stay together
Miss when the world was like this
@frank franklin Keep hating Frank. Those are the people obama triumphed over
i find obama much clearer and hes sticking to the point
Damn I wish Romney would run again
He's not eligible, because Biden is already running and they are both demonrats!
Should've tried for another bid in 2016 but he was worried about Jeb Bush of all people.
Romney would have smashed this election if Biden wasn't chosen but unfortunately the democrats chose biden and now we have two candidates who're gonna run this country into the ground
I love how they spoke from polar opposite sides yet made sense in their presentation. We took that for granted.
"Romney pointed at this plant and said, kill this plant"
Romney was too vague
Jose Giovanni He was a weak candidate
Jose Giovanni sorry!! He was so better than idolt big mouth trump!!
Jose Giovanni I hate Trump I turn democrat right after 2012!!! I hated choices & how republicans act & take my food stamps & others benfits away to
Jose Giovanni so I love Romney!!! He was last republican I voted for! I did vote for Adam Putum for FL gov primary. But, before I moved to FL. I was Democrat after Romney lost
I agree but I know political campaign advisors advise candidates NOT to get very specific when revealing the specifics of their policies.
It’s the opposite of how it should be.
There should be a written-posted-on-the-web-presidential-job-application’ where candidates specify their plans and policies in detail to the public OR they cannot apply to be President.
And if they don’t follow their stated policy, voters can sue for ‘recall’ for having given false job application information.
Somehow I don't think that the debates will be even half as adult or articulate this year.
😂😂😂😂
My thoughts as well Andy
I just want to hear Biden say “You’re full of shit!” Right to his stupid orange face.
Is it just me, or have Republicans just not given a crap about these issues in the last 4 years.
I'm expecting Biden to say "C'mon man!" at least once in each debate😂
its kind of sad to know some could have easily won by saying "BUILD A WALL"
Racism is yuuuuuge in this country that’s why he won
These two candidates have so much class, I wish that Trump did too.
Ohh myyy.. Obama is sooo smooth and composed yet so forceful in all his arguments. One can't just stop praising his targeted rejoinders!
We used to be civil to the opposite party during debates, but now we’ve gone down hill...it’s very sad.
Big Boi Shakes McGee right, I hope this election would be like this but it won’t it will be two old men yelling at each other
It took a conman liar from New York to take it down hill real quick
Blaine Burns man! Why can’t Americans think like u!! America had 2 worse choices ever!!! In 2016!!! Now 2020 worse ever!!
Blaine Burns also, country is so divided to!!!!!! Specially during this Virus trail?
I regret of voting Red team in 2016. I mad sanders lost!! 2 times!! Well trump is fired!! By my vote!!
Obama hit him with facts and substance.
I’m a Dem, I’m an Obama supporter, BUT, even at this very moment, I KNOW that Mitt would’ve been a far better President than Trump. Even though I differ with him on some opinions, but he makes some valid talking points and he’s a Republican that I’d be happy to have a conversation with 💯
How can you be an Obama supporter? His political career is OVER. Duh
@@jrbeckman2194 I’m saying during his presidency and when I reflect on it now.
Romney was CORRECT in many points.
Obama also was correct in same points.
BUT since 2012.......till 2019.....A LOT happened....
8
how is that possible
The 🐐: President Obama.
Romney is in his fantasy world. No wonder he lost the election, he was so lost in his own magical world, he forgot about the reality of his ideas.
Watching this after Trump and Biden. Omg what a mess that was compared to this.
Only 8 years ago! They disagreed on policies but respected each other. These days are over.
You’re really pretty
It's amazing watching this now, especially with what's going on with coronavirus. I love how President Obama said it's ultimately his responsibility. No finger pointing, no attacking the person asking the question.... just taking responsibility and explaining how he handled the situation.
When politicians stop playing politics, they can get down to doing work for the country and for the people.

holy shit romney's voice puts you to sleep
Yes and Trump's Communication staff had that all figured out. #MAGA2020
How far we have fallen...
Honestly it's a lot of fluff
2012: Establishment politicians arguing over policies
2020: Nursery Home roast battle between two old men suffering from Alzheimer's
It’s sad how toxic we have become. And crazy to think how much politics have changed only a decade later
President Obama was so clam and smooth through this whole entire debate.
The true way of leading a respectful, argument-based, political debate. These men honored the US on the day of that PD.
No doubt.
The Trump vs Hillary debate was so much more entertaining
yeah, two morons insulting each other. Great Reality t.v., eh?
people became dumber by watching those two debate
Schmakyle I didn’t watch that one! I hated those people

Before Trump, Carter and Elder Bush were the most recent ones to lose going for a second term, it's not like it's a common thing.
@@notoriouseagle1074 I mean Trump was a horrible president
I never imagined during this debate that Mitt Romney would be the voice of conscience and reason for the republican party just 11 years later.
LOL. I'm guessing Obama and Rodney are having dinner tonight and laughing about old times.
miragexl007 when the days were good
Usually how it goes look at bush and Clinton doing fricken stand up together
Lol at "Rodney"
24:27 talking about taxes and how the middle class had been left behind over the “4” years...more like 4 decades. Romney worrying about the budget back then...now it what???like 24 Trillion?
"I'll get back to you" 🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
Stop killing our black men and make efforts to teach all our men to be better fathers and stop putting them in jail!

The debate is history... and so is Mitt Romney, lol.
Bet you wish Mitt was running now
J-Dog776 To be fair, I would take carrot top in the White House right about now.
How did we get from there to here?
Stupid people is how
It feels like the moderator showing her bias in favor of Obama.
Candy crowley lied while everyone was watching so it didn't matter when she was corrected because that wasn't on a national stage
Stop lying.
@thisisanewusername4662 she lied
Wow. Two smart people debating. Craziness....
Question: why is the Democrat wearing a red tie and Republican wearing a blue?? 🤔
First debate between Clinton and trump likewise they swapped colours. They do this every debate season once.
So, What worry that the country goes the right direction. Not Color's..Well Obama was a great President...
Wha the fuck did I watch last night??!
Lol.
Each individual plays by a different set of rules
Anyone who goes out and asks specifically women to fill the open positions, isn't that sexist? Isn't it the same as the person asking specifically for men to fill open positions?
How can one be OK and not the other?
it was to get the women vote....he already had the black vote because he's black...what a mistake these 8 years were...

Men, this was when debates were about issues and policies. Donald Trump just destroyed America for the past four years. I can’t wait to see the sore loser gone.
Obama is a good politician. But bad manager for sure. He speaks well, but does dull. Romney is great manager. Let him manage
i live in the uk and i still think america is the most important country and who leads the most powerful country in the world is important
The presidency is a political position. Maybe you missed that though
you cant truely be both....your always lean to one side more its better to be independent of all parties and going for the candidate that fits you and the masses most
My God you’re the man Obama..
Jfc, never seen anything like that fierceness!!
I just came here in the middle of watching two high school kids, trump & Biden fighting and yelling each other to watch a real presidential debate ..
I wish Obama could've just stayed in office
Wow Obama let Romney talk, them he spoke.
Romney flip-flopped again, changing his foreign policy positions. But this strategy seems to be working. Over the 3 debates, he's changed almost all of his positions, but sadly he keeps improving in the polls, if some undecided voters don't care about consistency and are ready to vote for this liar, it is very scary, romney has outdated policies on military, his stance on military budget is appaling and no one with a decent mind can buy what romney is sayin about getting tough on china.
I mean...he didn't get elected but that comment was sadly very prophetic now reading it 7 years later...
10:00 Through, Is Phillip the voice of that nerdy guy off Family Guy? Lmfao
Yep, its Mort.
Second presidential debate I've watched. So this is what two intelligent candidates sound like.
The only thing I like about Rodney is that he hate Trump as much as I do. Other than that he’s just another liar republican.
Happy man Guess trump clown idolt playing America as tv show!
Happy man Guess trump thinks this is tv show! I regret of voting for him! Sanders wasn’t choice!!
