It’s
hard to escape a presidential debate in USA, even though I can’t vote.
A
rare occasion when a democratic candidate starts strong on foreign policy but
does it really matter?
Debates have become more of style rather than substance. It is more of a body language contest rather than a true discussion on policies. Today, just two weeks before the election both candidates will try to woo the mythical "undecided" voters. I personally feel the real undecided numbers are so low that they won't sway an election either way.
The other reason this debate will have minimum effect is because of the topic. It's foreign policy but voters care more about economy. So, people on both camps just want their guy to do well, not that they will change camps if he doesn't. Both camps will claim victory and hope to have won the "undecided" voters. I so much agree with Bill Maher here esp now just two weeks before the election (although the video is little old)
