On this day in 1960, the first televised U.S. presidential debate occurred between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon–impacting United States presidential election cycles for decades into the future.
This article by David Greenberg describes the ritual of presidential debates and their role (or lack thereof) in the selection of United States presidents.

I hate to admit it but the republican debate would’ve been so much more entertaining if Trump was there. I mean if you’re gonna take away my rights at least bring in the most dramatic person alive to make it a real show.
I needed him on that stage with an ankle monitor and an attitude. Like come on what are we doing?

Political commentary washed away. Fred Andrews is a fan of neither Ford nor Carter.

Deflation. A toupee costs a tenth of what it used to cost. Wow -- five thousand dollars, really? Well, a new life, new you, etc

Were the Lincoln and Douglass debates the first real presidential debates and why did they only have them in Illinois instead of other states?
Although Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas were opponents in the 1860 Presidential election, the Lincoln-Douglas debates weren't Presidential debates at all. The Lincoln-Douglas debates took place in 1858 during their campaign for the U.S. Senate from Illinois.
The first Presidential debates were those between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in 1960. There were a handful of Presidential primary debates before that, but JFK-Nixon were definitely the first between the major party nominees for President.

Major News Outlets Ask Presidential Candidates To Commit To Debate
NEW YORK (AP) — Twelve news organizations on Sunday urged presumptive presidential nominees Joe Biden and Donald Trump to agree to debates, saying they were a “rich tradition” that have been part of every general election campaign since 1976. While Trump, who did not participate in debates for the Republican nomination, has indicated a willingness to take on his 2020 rival, the Democratic…

It seemed as though the debate had been designed to amplify the silent yet relentless threat of climate denial. It was as if some deep-seated current had been running throughout the whole building, one that surged toward a kind of frenzied paroxysm. There were slices of knowledge so thin they seemed impossible to hold onto, as though the atmosphere was too rigid to allow such breathing space. With this strange tension in the air, the question of climate change would somehow be asked in spite of the obfuscation - the only direct answer was a now-infamous blankness of understanding. All around, the spectre of ignorance seemed to be growing more and more powerful, a looming entity that thought it was immune to accountability. It was a sadly fitting scene for the first Republican Presidential Debate and its devastating repudiation of scientific fact.

What did you say?
What did you say?
Maybe you remember during the presidential bebate when Biden called Trump “the worst president America has ever had.” https://billmichelmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/7rzxfd_1.mp4 Boy, did he have that backwards. The very opposite is true. Look at the criminal chaos at the southern  border, where illegal aliens are being given baby formula while American babies go without. Look at the…

The truth will out.
Fox "news" did cheat and give info to a candidate before the presidential debate, but they didn't give it to Biden, like the MAGAts and Q-nuts say. They gave it to their boy trumpie.
