Raw Video: Second Obama - Romney presidential debate

They're not supposed to do that!" And then the next weeks I turned on the news and legitimately had a headache. The shock and anger when I found out that the fighting is there on purpose and that's what they call "news debates" these days. It genuinely was incoherent, no one could ever get a full sentence out. I hate that style of "news broadcast". Ridiculousm

[@MrMatt-cm6do]

I agree but I know political campaign advisors advise candidates NOT to get very specific when revealing the specifics of their policies. It’s the opposite of how it should be. There should be a written-posted-on-the-web-presidential-job-application’ where candidates specify their plans and policies in detail to the public OR they cannot apply to be President. And if they don’t follow their stated policy, voters can sue for ‘recall’ for having given false job application information.
