Quote of the Day
“The conventional wisdom about presidential debates is that they do not move the race much – except when they do. Former vice-president Al Gore was dinged for sighing through his first debate in 2000 with George W Bush. An underprepared outing by Barack Obama against Mitt Romney in their first debate of 2012 breathed new life into the challenger’s campaign.”
Pointing out some key moments in debate history in anticipation of tonights debate between President Trump and Joe Biden.
