Why do they have live audiences at the presidential debates?

[zagor]

Whoever thought that was a good idea? Makes for a circus atmosphere. In the recent GOP debate, when Christie rightly criticized Trump a few neanderthals in the audience booed loudly. In the Democratic debates for the 2020 election, some idiots booed Kamala Harris when her record as prosecutor was brought up; unfortunately she caved and made excuses instead of owning it and stating that it had been in fact her job to do what she did.

Because there is nothing wrong with letting people see it live, you even get to rediscover neanderthales, people thought that type of human was extinct for a very long time.

It detracts from the discussion at hand. You don't combine a university lecture with a ping-pong tournament.

[Sasahara]

No, but both the lectures and the ping pong tournament has viewers, if no student was viewing the lecture there would be no reason to hold it.

Oh eat a dick. “He criticized Trump justly and his Neanderthal supporters booed.” You sound like a giant, dripping vagina of a man.

[zagor]

OK brave Anon, I must assume you are one of the pathetic drones who are convinced Trump won the election despite every actual real fact, so you must resort to his kind of name-calling because you don't have the IQ to actually debate anything.

[Sasahara]

@zagor speaking of name calling, unless there were actual neanderthales present, you do did so yourself.

[OddBeMe]

And you watched and are talking about it. Which network TV wants.

How many people have you sent to that channel’s YouTube to watch the circus?

[ScisorsAndRaisins]

Why do you suppose they booed?
