Debate is an inaccurate term for this garbage.

I say, with some shame, that I have never watched many debates. These GOP primary debates are not debates at all, but rather a chance for the candidates to talk about how great they are and how incompetent or crooked the others are.

It would be much more interesting if they actually debated meaningful current topics and how their platforms/policies would work best. This format is both painful and uninformative to watch.

Have there ever been real debates or has it always been like this?

I just posted my thoughts in the Republican Nominee thread but this has been bad for everyone but Romney so far.

Terrible question by George there baiting Romney. Romney ducked it deftly drawing some big laughs and then boos from the audience when Stepho pressed for an answer.
