Maybe this is a bit of a taboo opinion for HN, but that was not a debate. That was an unprofessional side-show. Think about it, we spend multiple days with someone in front of congress if we don't like what they did, but we throw all the potential future leaders on a stage with no controlled moderation for one hour.

The AM radio shows I listen to handle this every day using technology. They do it live every day. If someone gets out of control, they get muted or kicked.

That format made it very difficult for me to respect any of those people. I felt like I was watching adult toddlers. The only way I get to see what any of those people are actually like is if I watch their interviews with Joe Rogan.
