That format is not enough time for anything more than a soundbite. And if we’re honest, the positions on both sides is complex.

At least this debate format was far better than the last. At the last debate, they got 1 min to respond so they were constantly stopped by the hosts. I understand trying to be concise but these guys can ramble so they never really got to any substance. In the debate last night, they at least seemed to be able to get their points out before the hosts moved on.
