'Choosing our President is a serious business that requires a well-educated electorate.'
Presidential campaigns have always been more show than substance. They are often filled with boring, repetitive and uninformative stump speeches to partisan groups, abbreviated and edited media interviews, and contentious debates that are memorable more for snarky sound bites than for insights into the candidates’ experience, competence, and character.
People are also reading… While voters can’t totally change campaigning that is shallow, tedious, disrespectful, and drawn-out, they can demand a better format. Likewise, elected officials in senate hearings want to know the candidates’ educational and personal background, legal philosophy, moral compass, and how our laws will be interpreted and applied under specific and hypothetical circumstances. The candidates are asked questions by members of both parties and are held to the highest standards when answering them. They must provide evidence for their assertions.
In this format, candidates will be alone — with no distracting and unnecessary opponent or audience — with media representatives and an agreed-to moderator. They will be under oath to tell the truth and provide sound evidence for their claims. Their answers will be immediately fact checked so the candidates and public will know whether their responses were correct.
