The Debates: Do they know they sound childish when they argue?
Even the most ardent of supporters of President Trump will have to admit there are times that he appears, as some put it,less than presidential. But I suspect there is more than one speech teacher out there, who’s been trying to educate students on the art of debating and moderating a debate who’s hoping none of their students were watching the latest Democratic Party debate Tuesday night. The shouting matches that punctuated the event in South Carolina sounded a lot like a loud happy-hour argument over favorite sports teams. Either by mistake, or on purpose, the moderators seemed unable to, or unwilling to stop the candidates from shouting over each other several times. The participants seem to have forgotten that it’s impossible to make a point when you’re talking over someone else. it will be interesting to see how people who generally don’t like being shouted at will react to what they heard but I’m thinking we would all be better off if everyone on both sides of the political spectrum would dial down the rhetoric and the arguments at least a notch or 2. That’s the way I see it.
