Saw earlier today that President Trump campaign is apparently now in favor of moving up 1st debate to early September since some states commence mailing out ballots as soon as September 4th.
With initial debate currently scheduled for September 29th, that will have ALL people receiving such ballots the opportunity to at least see one Presidential debate beforehand.
On the surface, seems like a good idea for the debate committee to seriously consider.
i can except that…so move the debate up. But in future early voting invite abuse. It give those that are actively gaming our system time to corrupt it.
Liked. Let me add with the exception of 1968 and 1972 general elections there have been presidential debate’s every 4 years since 1960. Back when JFK-Nixon debated they were televised on September 26th, October 7th and October 13th. Why they don’t move at least one of them up some, escapes me.
Especially since I imagine more and more ballots will be cast by mail every election going forward.
I’d say yes - go ahead and move them up, with Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace, and Jonathan Swan as moderators. I can pretty much guarantee that would increase viewership.
