The entire concept of these debates are completely ridiculous if you think about it.
People are given 30 seconds to give a response on important topics, moderator constantly interrupting and goading the candidates on to fight with each other.
Candidates then judged by the media based on who can rattle off a good one liner rather than anything having to do with the substance of their plans. There's no way to differentiate between someone like Buttigieg who is a good talker but was only mayor of a small town, vs. someone like Inslee or the other governors who may not be the most charismatic but ran a large state.
Imagine if any other organization such as a large corporation or non-profit chose their leader this way.
