There are no winners in presidential debate

| October 23, 2012 7:00 AM

After watching the second debate between presidential candidates, I thought, “Is there no one left who is a viable choice for president of the United States? The political that masked itself as a debate last night was utterly ridiculous.

Debate is generally accepted as a discussion of opposing reasons. I saw little to no discussion of questions asked by the audience, just two men acting rudely and trying to bully their points across to the audience. Unfortunately, their points did not often not relate to the audience’s questions. This “debate” went on for a disgustingly long time before I could take no more and shut off the television.

The debate winners? No one.

The debate losers? The citizens of the United States.
