Lee Lonsberry on what we SHOULD as during a presidential debate

Jason Perry on Lee what we SHOULD as during a presidential debate

As we gear up for the first presidential debate of 2020, we take look back at the first televised presidential debate which took place between Kennedy and Nixon on September 26, 1960. When candidates face-off live it provides an opportunity for the public to see them in a different, less scripted or choreographed way, which can seriously overshadow and impact their campaigns as a whole. So, Boyd asks, why do we debate like we do? And how can we be sure we are asking the right questions? 

KSL Newsradio’s own Lee Lonsberry and Jason Perry of the Hinckley Institute of Politics,  joins Boyd to discuss the topics selected for the first Trump-Biden presidential debate next week, and to ask, “What SHOULD we ask in a presidential debate?”
