Less Playground Insults, More Policy Next Time

By Avani Sethi, Kate Lamont, and Ram Charan

What had more conflict and drama: 2020’s first presidential debate or an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians?

Tuesday, September 29, 2020, marked the first presidential debate of 2020, between Incumbent Donald Trump and Former Vice-President Joe Biden. Rather than spending those 3 hours on national television productively debating policy and discussing concerns for our country’s next four years, both candidates argued like toddlers in a playground. Although many viewers found this debate entertaining, the sad truth is that this debate revealed the true faces of the only two choices for our personality contest of an election. 

Nonetheless, in honor of entertainment, here are the best worst lines from the debate, an (un)promising look into how our future president will handle under pressure.
