My wife and I have sat down in our living room each of the last two weeks to engage in the civic discussion. We have turned on our television to watch the debates. Both times, we could not stomach what we watched play out before us. Decency, respect, rhetoric skills had been traded for barbed jabs, the hunt for the soundbite and way too many ad hominem attacks.
As I was processing the debates (or lack thereof) with a group of friends this morning, I played out for them a vision for what I would love to see in presidential debates. I would love a format that allowed the candidates time to express what their compelling vision for the office included. I would enjoy a time where the candidates were asked the tough questions by each other and they had to answer or squirm in awkwardness. I would like for them to respectfully listen and then when it was their turn, to respond with analysis and facts.
