Political debates are like kids throwing shit at each other, instead of argumented debates.
They weren't always like this. Go back and watch the 2012 debates, even. They didn't spend much, if any, time degrading each other. They were about issues.
There is something different about these debates. Hmm. What could it be?? Why is this election cycle such a circus??
