Why don’t we have Presidential debates like this anymore? These men answered questions and debated the issues rather than make personal attacks and call each other names. I’ll keep wishing and hoping that these kinds of debates come back.
Because America was relatively healthy in 1992, but now that we're suffering the effects of late-stage Capitalism, and because BOTH parties are Capitalist, they cannot attack anything but each other. But make no mistake that the groundwork was set during this era with the fall of the Soviet Union.
Because Obama and the Democrats turned politics into a race war where only identity politics mattered and all their followers knew nothing of the actual issues and policies. If politics were only a popularity contest before, Obama turned it up to the next level. Then Trump came along after Obama and called out the lies and corruption of the corrupt political establishment and destroyed the Democrat's dream of Hillary and a Socialist takeover while offering actual solutions to real problems and inspired half the people in America to stand up against the corrupt elites taking advantage of them. In order to do that, Trump insulted and bullied his way to the top, which sells way more tickets and gets way more views than the typical boring debate that most people wouldn't even understand or care about, and also created more enemies than anyone in American political history. When Trump had the chance to set things right and drain the swamp, he had to spend his time defending himself from that swamp instead as they attacked him more than anyone in history and treated him more unfairly than any President of all time. Now both sides see the only way to win is to sling more mud on the other side while keeping the full truth from the public so they will continue to vote like the sheep they are. Now that Biden is brain dead, Trump will get another chance and actually have the experience and backing to get more things done this time, while the Democrats have to pick up the pieces of their failed administration and their lies to the public for so many years. Civil debates are a thing of the past, because they don't sell in modern media, and winning is all about getting the clicks, views and the headlines, so the masses of idiots will take a peak once in a while and be easily manipulated by either side. Trump's style wins in the new game with new media platforms taking over and the younger generations caring more about memes and short clips they can laugh at rather than ever learning about actual policy. Older people focus more on actual policy, but are generally too old or too busy to learn what is really going on for themselves and too ignorant to figure out how to use modern media sources to find all the real information and unbiased facts to make the best decision. Instead they mostly watch Fake News mainstream media a few minutes a day and are brainwashed like sheep. A boring debate won't get the views anymore.

@@magamaga1827 Except I remember that most of the Americans thought that in the early 90-s we were living in catastrophic times and everything was going to implode.
Classy because Clinton and Bush were part of the same machine at the time. There’s no need to get nasty when neither candidate is a risk to the establishment. Compare that to now where Trump doesn’t have much else to live for, and Biden who also has nothing else to live for who is the head of an establishment that is scared shitless of Trump’s unpredictability.
They grew up in a less diverse America whose schooling consisted of excelling in math, science, reading and writing, not worrying about the mistakes our ancestors made or wondering what gender they were. As long as we continue down our current path, it will only worsen.
2024? US went downhill the day Bernie Sanders lost the 2016 primary against clinton, There was a debate between Cruz and Sanders, and you can go check it on YT or wherever you want it to, and you be the judge how these "rejected" candidates conducted themselves
Biden was definitely in decline President Trump , was confused looking worried about what he was looking and listening to a week of prep for President Joe Biden, seriously and the jab chosen was you can't believe anything President Trump's saying? Brilliant punch. 👏
A propper debat allows the people to ask questions of those running for office, not the ones they have dominated by media questioners like last week etc. Gosh those were in a small way the good old days! How times have changed!
It’s crazy how different debates used to be. They actually answered questions, were polite, have plans and are asked random questions from the audience. I can definitely see why Clinton became president. I was young in this time and don’t remember any of this.
He unfortunately didn't have a chance to get elected. He was up against two established political parties, with deep pockets. He was running with the Reform Party. 3rd party candidates can only go so far, but end up failing because we have a two party political system. Special political interests went after Perot, to dig up some dirt on him. They found it, and it stopped him campaign dead in it's tracks, so Perot bailed out. I think though at the time, the Reform Party had some good ideas to reform, and improve our government, but there's too much of a political swamp that's deeply established, even back in '92.
They need to make debates more fair again. Why should only the democrats and republicans be allowed to attend. We the people should be allowed to hear from all parties.
It's because we have a two party system, the Democratic and Republican parties. 3rd party candidates can only go so far, and end up failing because they're up against some well established traditional political machines with strong power bases and deep pockets. Ross Perot was able to establish some in roads, because he was a billionaire, not beholden to special interests, and had some good ideas to reform our government, to improve it that appealed to alot of people. He was sort of like an early version of Trump.
Despite Clinton's moral failures, I thought he was a good president. At the end of his 2nd term, Clinton, working with some other Congressmen, did end up balancing the budget. There's was no more deficit spending that added to our national debt. Unfortunately, when Bush Jr got into office, deficit spending started right back up again.
@@samr9520 Regardless of how much influence Newt Gingrich had, Clinton still had to work with the Congress. Besides, no one man is solely responsible for the health of the economy. There's a lot of factors, variables that come into play.
@@samr9520 Oh, please, Gingrich was the reason The Government had one of the longest government shutdowns in US history and he's also the reason politics has become as nasty as it is now. Gingrich is nothing to be proud of.
@@2H2521 Perot received 19 million votes. Not bad against Clinton's 44.9 million and Bush's 39 million. He won the largest share of the popular vote of any third party or independent candidate since Theodore Roosevelt's 1912 candidacy.
To me Clinton used Perot to win. Support everything the non serious to win candidate. So that maybe he doesn’t get the vote, but Bush also didn’t get it instead. They went to Perot. 19 milly was alot for 3rd party
@@kimthomas8717 Ross Perot explained why that is a farce. They shuffle the money around to look good on the deficit by they just pulled it from other budgets.
You know what the sad thing about this is? If Ross Perot were 6 inches taller he probably would have had a real shot at winning the 1992 election. Let that sink in.
This was a time in America where third-party candidates could be on stage with the major two party candidates and debate on the issues. They started changing the rules in 2000 so that only the major party candidates can be on stage. Both parties are afraid of third-party candidates taking votes away. Imagine if Robert Kennedy Jr. can be on stage with Biden and Trump. He would definitely take votes away from Biden. BTW: Ross Perot won all the debates. It wasn't even close. He was also right when it came to NAFTA as well!
Man look how cool and calm everyone was back in 1992! Just goes to show you don’t have to be dirty and scream and rant and rave like a lunatic like so many online
It bothers me to see how civil we used to be compared to how we are today. No personal insults, intelligent thought out questions and responses, unbiased moderation, and no cheering and yelling by the audience. I hope we can get back to civility one day.
The gentleman at - 1:10 was right on make a commitment to the citizens of this country. Ross Perot said yes sir I will take that pledge as any candidate running for president should.
The real reason they won’t allow a 3rd on stage is because Ross Perot almost won and exposed both parties. After this debate The Women’s League of Voters (who ran the debates for many years) decided to pull out because they got huge pressure put on them to not allow Perot to debate. Many other issues as well from both parties. When they pulled out, the Rebubs and Dems decided together they would from that point forward run the debates. They also made a rule saying that if you didn’t identify as a Repub or Dem and a member of said party, then you could NOT debate. This is why Ron Paul ran as Repub in 07-08 and 11-12. Otherwise he couldn’t be on stage. So Perot really messed up the rigged system and almost won and neither party or the elites liked it. This is also why they hate Trump. Makes even more sense as to why Trump has went through all the stuff they throw at him, even being almost assasinated. This was imo the last legit debate with Perot on stage. As a young 17 yr old, I knew little about politics, but I saw the absolute disrespect they all had for Perot. He made sense even to my young self and I got angry seeing the media and even a cool to me at the time, Bill Clinton laugh at him. He was a self made billionaire and I thought that was respectful. He worked for that. Little did I know a seed was planted for me and many other people during this debate. We saw a little bit of the systems corruption to truth and America first thinking. After that I went in deep with Ron Paul in 07. I saw them all laugh at him too yet he made perfect sense. Then they did the exact same to Trump in 15. The difference was Trump said F all your BS. I’m exposing you. And here we are.
While you're quite accurate about Perot, you're completely off the mark about the Trump comparisons. Perot was was 1 of 1. Trump has been a political chameleon from being friendly with the Clintons to Jesse Ventura. The 2010s wasn't Trump's first rodeo in the the political world by far. Ross Perot is the one and only OG. Trump would've flopped in this debate in his final form today and likely his age back then, too considering he's the same age as Bill Clinton.
can see why clinton won, he came across as a powerful president. He said in 4 years if he hasnt done a great job people can vote him out. A level of cockiness thats sometimes needed.
I'm repeating myself so forgive me. 1992 was the first election I was eligible to vote in. I was 19 at the time and eager to vote. I felt the same way about then Governor Clinton and I voted for him, twice. I'm proud of that vote because he was a strong, smart, likeable and confident leader. I think he's the only modern-day president, aside from Biden, who truly enjoyed being president. He managed to leave the country with a surplus, create the student loan program, banned assault weapons through The Crime Bill and got the discussion about having an affordable health care system going. He was also friends with Tony Blair and Boris Yeslin, and he never bowed to Russia. He also wasn't fond of Putin or Netanyahu with good reason. As you said he was a bit cocky but, he had the goods to back it up, unlike Trump.
If we could go back and change it somehow (I would personally like to have seen him win), I think the odds of him blundering something unforeseen still would definitely have happened. That creates the issue of a possible cover up...if he chose to do that and got caught, it would have caused a social upheaval, and Dems and Republicans would have hung him out to dry! These reasons are why trump chose not to run as an independent I'm sure...
Imagine all the people who lost their job under Bush Senior, my Dad being one if them. These politicians were all about enriching their families. Ross Perot didn't need to, and he got it rich on his own. Way smarter than the other 2 on stage.
Gosh the USA has sunk deep after seeing this, hasn't it? What happened to presidential presidents being able to complete a full sentnce, and the host being pretty close to being non-partizan to the debate. Of course some of these candidates turned out to be crooks as well, but that's the 20/20 of hindsight.
Yeah, it is nice to see that debates without a certain politician who uses soo much fear-mongering, threats, misleading claims, claiming to never make mistakes, embellishing everything discussed and gloating with excessive self-praise. The debates I've gone back and watched so far, they all act like respectful adults instead. The "insults" and "attacks" on each other in these older debates, are all kept civil and they apologize for mistakes, they say they agree with the opponent on things and so on. I hope things go back to this.
Good one! He didn't even understand what she was asking! The graceful way she delivered her concerns with his stark comments on the contrary magnified her point even more. 🕊🙏⚘️
Bill Clinton left us with a surplus and economic experts calculated had we stayed the course we would have been debt free as a nation by 2012.... now our deficit is over 30 trillion. Bill Clinton was the best president in the last 50 years when it came to the economy and our national deficit.
People in the audience wanted civility and respect from their politicians SO MUCH… they asked them to even pinky swear…. and from todays perspective, this debate seems extremely civil and well mannered compared to today’s politics… what a sea change wow
It’s been 32 years and they are debating over the same problems and give the same promises… and same financial measurements, healthcare strategies...etc.
Not a Clinton fan at all. But.... Bills debate was brilliant though. He used Perot as battering ram against Bush. "Perot is better than you on every issue. I am a far better candidate than Perot"
Perot was the last third party speaker? What’s crazy is both presidents agreed with an independent. I’m telling yall. Even today, third parties deserve to debate still. 2 is not enough anymore
Trump need to come here an listen and learn how to communicate his ideas without acrimony..He sometimes turns allies into adversaries.He has the best policies he needs to tone down the rhetorics that works against him .
Trump's communication style often undermines his policies. His frequent use of acrimony and divisive rhetoric turns potential allies into adversaries. Effective leadership requires not just good policies but also the ability to communicate them constructively and unify people. His inability to do so highlights his unfitness for the presidency.
Thank you very much for sharing this debate. Much wanted in 1992 to be able to see and listen. It is a pleasant feeling to see and listen bit late, but with the same entudiasm, after 32years, in 2024!
Trump was not brain dead. The world was better when he was president. No russian-ukraine war, not a single hamas-Israel war. Economy was stronger, illegal immigrants were less and crimes are lower.
Ross Perot would have been an excellent president. 🙋🙋🙏🙏He genuinely seemed like he really wanted to fix things. Honestly it just seems like he didn't have a hidden agenda..
The dude in the dress wearing glasses behind the opening speaker had me lmao...this dude was looking at the camera with that "I hope people can't tell" look on his face lmao
The answer is simple. Because we allow them to get away with it and don’t demand higher standards. And ppl don’t care about facts or truth anymore. They just want to get what they want.
I am not an American, but watching this debate, I can say that there is a big difference between election debates in the past and debates now. Presidential debates were based on real issues of people, but now candidates debates revolve around personal insults which is beside the point. It’s so sad to have come to this world we live in now .

Clinton classy??, that's a good one!, he dressed classy and that was it! A smug, arrogant, crook!
Classy because Clinton and Bush were part of the same machine at the time. There’s no need to get nasty when neither candidate is a risk to the establishment. Compare that to now where Trump doesn’t have much else to live for, and Biden who also has nothing else to live for who is the head of an establishment that is scared shitless of Trump’s unpredictability.
Such a difference in quality and professionalism from then to now. It was kinda refreshing to see this.

So far downhill!
Biden was definitely in decline President Trump , was confused looking worried about what he was looking and listening to a week of prep for President Joe Biden, seriously and the jab chosen was you can't believe anything President Trump's saying? Brilliant punch. 👏

Fact check exists because Trump can't speak without lying.
18:30 not the moderators but still the network
This is when USA was still USA.
lol ok "Fouad" you would know
This debate was considered idiotic at the time. Now they look like scholars and philosophers by comparison with now.
A propper debat allows the people to ask questions of those running for office, not the ones they have dominated by media questioners like last week etc. Gosh those were in a small way the good old days! How times have changed!
Not for the better it has.
It’s crazy how different debates used to be. They actually answered questions, were polite, have plans and are asked random questions from the audience. I can definitely see why Clinton became president. I was young in this time and don’t remember any of this.
Ross Perot was the best candidate in the 1992
Yes he was, and I believe we would be living in a different (and better) America had he been elected.
He unfortunately didn't have a chance to get elected. He was up against two established political parties, with deep pockets. He was running with the Reform Party. 3rd party candidates can only go so far, but end up failing because we have a two party political system. Special political interests went after Perot, to dig up some dirt on him. They found it, and it stopped him campaign dead in it's tracks, so Perot bailed out. I think though at the time, the Reform Party had some good ideas to reform, and improve our government, but there's too much of a political swamp that's deeply established, even back in '92.
INDEED
@@klrbeech7054i just said the same thing!!
He did one thing that was remarkable in that election was he got people to vote.
Thank you for posting this. Much obliged. For someone who independently studies the Perot-effect, it is very interesting.
They need to make debates more fair again. Why should only the democrats and republicans be allowed to attend. We the people should be allowed to hear from all parties.
Good point
It's because we have a two party system, the Democratic and Republican parties. 3rd party candidates can only go so far, and end up failing because they're up against some well established traditional political machines with strong power bases and deep pockets. Ross Perot was able to establish some in roads, because he was a billionaire, not beholden to special interests, and had some good ideas to reform our government, to improve it that appealed to alot of people. He was sort of like an early version of Trump.
@@earldriskill3505 a respectful trump
Despite Clinton's moral failures, I thought he was a good president. At the end of his 2nd term, Clinton, working with some other Congressmen, did end up balancing the budget. There's was no more deficit spending that added to our national debt.
Unfortunately, when Bush Jr got into office, deficit spending started right back up again.
Newt Gingrich is the reason for the good economy not Clinton.
@@samr9520 Regardless of how much influence Newt Gingrich had, Clinton still had to work with the Congress. Besides, no one man is solely responsible for the health of the economy. There's a lot of factors, variables that come into play.

How in the world was Perot not president. Insane times
He wasn’t a serious candidate, third party doesn’t attract enough of a voting base either.
@@2H2521 Perot received 19 million votes. Not bad against Clinton's 44.9 million and Bush's 39 million. He won the largest share of the popular vote of any third party or independent candidate since Theodore Roosevelt's 1912 candidacy.
Tribalism is the most logical explanation of why he didn’t win more votes. It wasn’t as potent in these days but today it’s a plague with no cure.
To me Clinton used Perot to win. Support everything the non serious to win candidate. So that maybe he doesn’t get the vote, but Bush also didn’t get it instead. They went to Perot. 19 milly was alot for 3rd party

You know what the sad thing about this is? If Ross Perot were 6 inches taller he probably would have had a real shot at winning the 1992 election. Let that sink in.
This was a time in America where third-party candidates could be on stage with the major two party candidates and debate on the issues. They started changing the rules in 2000 so that only the major party candidates can be on stage. Both parties are afraid of third-party candidates taking votes away. Imagine if Robert Kennedy Jr. can be on stage with Biden and Trump. He would definitely take votes away from Biden.
BTW: Ross Perot won all the debates. It wasn't even close. He was also right when it came to NAFTA as well!
Man look how cool and calm everyone was back in 1992! Just goes to show you don’t have to be dirty and scream and rant and rave like a lunatic like so many online

It bothers me to see how civil we used to be compared to how we are today. No personal insults, intelligent thought out questions and responses, unbiased moderation, and no cheering and yelling by the audience. I hope we can get back to civility one day.
The gentleman at - 1:10 was right on make a commitment to the citizens of this country. Ross Perot said yes sir I will take that pledge as any candidate running for president should.
Such a real debate!
The real reason they won’t allow a 3rd on stage is because Ross Perot almost won and exposed both parties.
After this debate The Women’s League of Voters (who ran the debates for many years) decided to pull out because they got huge pressure put on them to not allow Perot to debate. Many other issues as well from both parties.
When they pulled out, the Rebubs and Dems decided together they would from that point forward run the debates. They also made a rule saying that if you didn’t identify as a Repub or Dem and a member of said party, then you could NOT debate. This is why Ron Paul ran as Repub in 07-08 and 11-12. Otherwise he couldn’t be on stage.
So Perot really messed up the rigged system and almost won and neither party or the elites liked it. This is also why they hate Trump.
Makes even more sense as to why Trump has went through all the stuff they throw at him, even being almost assasinated.
This was imo the last legit debate with Perot on stage. As a young 17 yr old, I knew little about politics, but I saw the absolute disrespect they all had for Perot. He made sense even to my young self and I got angry seeing the media and even a cool to me at the time, Bill Clinton laugh at him. He was a self made billionaire and I thought that was respectful. He worked for that. Little did I know a seed was planted for me and many other people during this debate. We saw a little bit of the systems corruption to truth and America first thinking.
After that I went in deep with Ron Paul in 07. I saw them all laugh at him too yet he made perfect sense.
Then they did the exact same to Trump in 15. The difference was Trump said F all your BS. I’m exposing you. And here we are.
While you're quite accurate about Perot, you're completely off the mark about the Trump comparisons. Perot was was 1 of 1. Trump has been a political chameleon from being friendly with the Clintons to Jesse Ventura. The 2010s wasn't Trump's first rodeo in the the political world by far. Ross Perot is the one and only OG. Trump would've flopped in this debate in his final form today and likely his age back then, too considering he's the same age as Bill Clinton.
Thanks for posting this
can see why clinton won, he came across as a powerful president. He said in 4 years if he hasnt done a great job people can vote him out. A level of cockiness thats sometimes needed.
I'm repeating myself so forgive me. 1992 was the first election I was eligible to vote in. I was 19 at the time and eager to vote. I felt the same way about then Governor Clinton and I voted for him, twice. I'm proud of that vote because he was a strong, smart, likeable and confident leader. I think he's the only modern-day president, aside from Biden, who truly enjoyed being president. He managed to leave the country with a surplus, create the student loan program, banned assault weapons through The Crime Bill and got the discussion about having an affordable health care system going. He was also friends with Tony Blair and Boris Yeslin, and he never bowed to Russia. He also wasn't fond of Putin or Netanyahu with good reason. As you said he was a bit cocky but, he had the goods to back it up, unlike Trump.
how far we've fallen from even this one from 30+ yrs ago~
Imagine if Ross Perot would have won president America would have been in a better place
Yep. Big mistake by the American people for not voting him in.
Ross Perot would've been great but alas it wasn't meant to be. Ross Perot was the Donald Trump of that era back in 1992.
I was 7 and wanted to vote Perot
If we could go back and change it somehow (I would personally like to have seen him win), I think the odds of him blundering something unforeseen still would definitely have happened. That creates the issue of a possible cover up...if he chose to do that and got caught, it would have caused a social upheaval, and Dems and Republicans would have hung him out to dry! These reasons are why trump chose not to run as an independent I'm sure...
Imagine all the people who lost their job under Bush Senior, my Dad being one if them. These politicians were all about enriching their families. Ross Perot didn't need to, and he got it rich on his own. Way smarter than the other 2 on stage.
No dogs or cats were eating during the filming of this debate.

rfk jr will
@@Zug75 you mean JFK Jr 😉

They seem to be civilized people who can keep debating without yelling at each other
Gosh the USA has sunk deep after seeing this, hasn't it? What happened to presidential presidents being able to complete a full sentnce, and the host being pretty close to being non-partizan to the debate. Of course some of these candidates turned out to be crooks as well, but that's the 20/20 of hindsight.
They were generally respectful to each other, and focused on the issues.
Ross Perot would’ve definitely had my Vote if I had been the legal age to vote.
They argue clearly as they used to think when writing on paper. They respectfully talk without insults nor retaliates.
Wow! Candidates that speak in complete sentences, giving substantive, detailed responses!
Yeah, it is nice to see that debates without a certain politician who uses soo much fear-mongering, threats, misleading claims, claiming to never make mistakes, embellishing everything discussed and gloating with excessive self-praise.
The debates I've gone back and watched so far, they all act like respectful adults instead.
The "insults" and "attacks" on each other in these older debates, are all kept civil and they apologize for mistakes, they say they agree with the opponent on things and so on.
I hope things go back to this.
What do we have now each candidates trashing each other over their golf handicaps was what Trump and Biden did.
Sigh. Back when we were debating fiscal policy, taxes, issues that actually matter.
My Grandfather gave Ross Perot his Eagle Scout Award!
Candidates were more detailed about their plans back then
Now you have people talking about “concepts of a plan” 💀

Because she asked it in a dumb way.
Oh wow this was uploaded a month ago. I love going back and looking through political history of America
Bill Clinton left us with a surplus and economic experts calculated had we stayed the course we would have been debt free as a nation by 2012.... now our deficit is over 30 trillion. Bill Clinton was the best president in the last 50 years when it came to the economy and our national deficit.
The question is, how do we get back to debates like this? Or perhaps the question is can we ever get back to debates like this?
These guys knew what they were talking about compared to what we have today.
Back when both parties were a lot more normal.
There all lunatics now. But they were probably just more reserved lunatics then
Now it's just chaos and hysteria of making Trump.
The only thing that’s changed is the crowd today would be wearing shorts, t-shirts, and Crocs 😆
People in the audience wanted civility and respect from their politicians SO MUCH… they asked them to even pinky swear…. and from todays perspective, this debate seems extremely civil and well mannered compared to today’s politics… what a sea change wow
I voted for Ross Perot and never voted again 😮
I'm not in it, I'm of it...just passing through observing
We have RFK Jr this time around
why are there no longer audience questions of candidates?
It’s been 32 years and they are debating over the same problems and give the same promises… and same financial measurements, healthcare strategies...etc.
It just goes to show, they are accomplishing nothing but filling their own pockets!
Not a Clinton fan at all. But....
Bills debate was brilliant though. He used Perot as battering ram against Bush. "Perot is better than you on every issue. I am a far better candidate than Perot"
Notice those men actually looked like they were happy and liked each other ,unlike everybody now
Because they were all middle of the road unlike Trump
how is a 3 person debate more civilized than a 2 person one
Whoa. Debates where the candidates have decorum? Can I got back to that matrix?
Look at how civil and calm people were back in those days. No one is like this anymore.
Funny hearing about deficit then. We were 5 trillion dollars in debt. Now we’re 35 trillion dollars in debt! This country is F-cked!!!
Clinton left a surplus.
Perot was the last third party speaker? What’s crazy is both presidents agreed with an independent. I’m telling yall. Even today, third parties deserve to debate still. 2 is not enough anymore
Trump need to come here an listen and learn how to communicate his ideas without acrimony..He sometimes turns allies into adversaries.He has the best policies he needs to tone down the rhetorics that works against him .
Trump's communication style often undermines his policies. His frequent use of acrimony and divisive rhetoric turns potential allies into adversaries. Effective leadership requires not just good policies but also the ability to communicate them constructively and unify people. His inability to do so highlights his unfitness for the presidency.
Thank you very much for sharing this debate. Much wanted in 1992 to be able to see and listen.
It is a pleasant feeling to see and listen bit late, but with the same entudiasm, after 32years, in 2024!
At least the president at the time wasn't brain dead LOL
Like both Trump and his lover Biden
Or a convicted felon.
Trump was not brain dead. The world was better when he was president. No russian-ukraine war, not a single hamas-Israel war. Economy was stronger, illegal immigrants were less and crimes are lower.
Ross Perot would have been an excellent president. 🙋🙋🙏🙏He genuinely seemed like he really wanted to fix things. Honestly it just seems like he didn't have a hidden agenda..
It's amazing how they could debate a topic and not just insult each other with ad hominem.
The dude in the dress wearing glasses behind the opening speaker had me lmao...this dude was looking at the camera with that "I hope people can't tell" look on his face lmao
Things were a lot less crazy then, but still a little crazy. I'm still waiting for that balanced budget amendment. A flat tax would be nice too.
Were going to stop shipping jobs overseas? Wow. Not a lot has changed in 32 years.
How did we go from this sorta dialogue to what we calles a "debate" on 9/10/24
The answer is simple. Because we allow them to get away with it and don’t demand higher standards. And ppl don’t care about facts or truth anymore. They just want to get what they want.
I miss boring politics 😢
Bush looks impressed by Clinton’s speeches. 😂
I am not an American, but watching this debate, I can say that there is a big difference between election debates in the past and debates now. Presidential debates were based on real issues of people, but now candidates debates revolve around personal insults which is beside the point. It’s so sad to have come to this world we live in now .
I truly wish O could go back to the 90s
I was a college student back in the 1990s. It was a much better time in a lot of ways.
