They should not change the format we want to see the gloves off of me and the American People are and about you know i will say i kept i think its interesting that now we hear the speaker say things like the debate format should be changed. I will say even from an objective point of view i have high respect for the vice and what hes done in civil rights and what not but i have to tell you its been very evident to anyone with eyes in years theres seriously been that cognitively there some issues easiest made disparaging comments about the African American community perhaps one or 2 that you may not even met, is just make certain statements that would call into question. I would say his whole candidacy but i would say call into question his ability to answer tough questions on the fly and to get the people in general and you know michael is not going to stay here. He agrees. But you know i think anybody with eyes in years and a conscience and say that holistic. You just cant say things like that and not understand that there are people psychiatry us around this country who believe the president suffers from severe cognitive defects when use think about some of the some of the situations that hes been in where you see his hands trembling and he cant walk down the street or or you cant stand up straight at us and canada were talking about the substance of what it is and whether someone is competent to lead to lead this country. And i rather doubt that kind of debate that kind of that kind of discussion. In whatever you want to call that format. Then what is going to happen which is. Present troubles are playing that tape that he plays over and over again where spews out the same. Also its and lies over and over again and we know what those lies are. Weve seen a couple of virtual conventions, everything very carefully choreographed and scripted in both cases dont people want to rock em sock em debate michael wouldnt you think that a lot of people would be wanting to say that its. Its a good tv is a good policy. New i mean was will seat while well this evening, i mean the fact is. Where people are concerned about is whether or not this pandemic is going to get under check. Theyre concerned about whether their children are going to be safe in schools. The concern about about issues of racial justice. If those me brought up during the debate. Great i think people do want to you know rock em sock em debate though everybody i talk to democrats republicans everyone in between they want to this matchup. Because they dont i think people that i talked to understand the importance of this election. And we may never seen one quite like this again i think people want to see a what you said i cant in sock in the day and i think we should give it to him.
