      *EDIT* I do agree he came across to robotic on my re read James but as far as your suggested answer *JAMES W* I disagree. That “hold me back” stuff is painfully over used. He should have said what he feeled (which obviously he didn’t feel like most of us). He should have said... “What kind of a question is that to ask in a public presidential debate? Get some class, and conduct yourself like you had some dignity to protect. That was a rude and uncalled for question for me AND for president bush.” *SOMETHING* like that. TERRIBLE, unfair and unethical and uncalled for.

Yes it was a major difference from the Trump/Biden debate I agree. Hmm, Pence was disrespectful? The moderator kept giving Harris ample time to answer, while giving Pence barely any time to answer despite most of the time he had to counter-act the lies of Harris as well as answer the questions. Harris acted extremely smug and condescending towards Pence despite being given more time than Pence to answer questions. Pence acted very cool and level headed,Harris acted very smug and condescending. If you ask me the disrespectful one, and by far, was Harris. Pence even praised Harris and was very calm and collected to the moderator as well, even saying multiple times “thank you” when it was his turn to answer the question. Harris couldnt counter anything Pence said and was left fumbling for words. Some of the lies she said were so outrages like the Charlottesville lie that Pence had to cut and enter the convo, anyone in his position would have done the same thing, its a debate.

    If Kitty Dukakis was raped and murdered..." Who came up with that question?

    • @genericname9660
      @genericname9660 8 лет назад +368

      The question was unfair but makes a little more sense when you understand the context of this race.
      Governor Dukakis refused to run a negative campaign, employing no personal attacks or attack ads on Bush Sr, which left the negatives coming in rather one-sided against Dukakis. The attack relevant to that question was that of Dukakis' opposition to the death penalty, which in the '80s certainly had more public support than in the modern day. As Governor of Massachusetts, Dukakis supported the continuation of a weekend furlough program which did not exclude those convicted of first-degree murder. A participant of this programme, William Horton (incorrectly dubbed 'Willie'), escaped and ended up assaulting a couple, stabbing and gagging the man and raping the woman, before stealing their car. Due to this horrendous mishap of the programme, it was highlighted quite prominently by the Bush campaign to signal what a Dukakis policy would do to America.
      So basically the question came down to: look what happened in your state, if Bush was Governor that man would be dead, if this happened to you would you still not support the death penalty?

A quick attack and finishing in style. Perfect. His problem is that he was a better presidential candidate then Dukakis.

      I recently was wondering about that. The two party system seems overly generic and inept considering the impossibility of just two sets of ideals accurately representing the views of 300 million people. I was aware of the age of the two party system, the whigs vs democrats, for example, but I was unaware that our gov't was established, by our founding fathers, with this system in mind. Surely, then, there must be some use to it?

The logic behind the two party system is that you first, favours gobernability of the country and not diversity, second, you diminish a lot the cost to inform people about politics (if you have 10 parties, that's much more difficult), and finally, it makes big groups of voters much more used to cooperate, because in a multy-party system you really have not much incentives (or at least they're not so big) to cooperate with people who you do not agree in your party, you just can go and create another party with 80% similarities but this little differences, with a two party system, you must cooperate or lose.

That’s almost, if not, equal to Reagan’s “youth and inexperience” line. Or Trump’s “because you’d be in jail”. It’s just the small line after a long monologue/answer that makes the crowd erupt. Truly an iconic line and well-deserved too because Dan Quayle is no Jack Kennedy.

      The problem with this statement, while it is witty, is that it is unsubstantiated. The whole purpose of the statement was to undermine the answer of his opponent not by offering facts but by sly humor. His mere serving with Jack Kennedy does not in itself legitimize his statement unless he gives a concrete argument based on that knowledge. Sure, it rings great in our ears but the ones who are to make choices based on that should be able to look beyond it.

    This is a really good sample of debates from the past 40+ years.

Though I had no political opinions at that time... he reminded me of my grandfather who always exuded a control of any situation. This is really all a President has to do. Act like you're in control and usually you get the best results. The American people just want to have that confidence in their leader.
