There's always merit to having a debate.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One can always debate questions back and forth.
But I do think its necessary to have debates.
If we're going to have debates, let's have real debates.
I enjoyed debate on the floor but it's not really debate in the same way.
I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.
It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.
Debates require a lot of hard work and preparation. If you try to wing it, it shows.
I don't feel that an atmosphere of debate and total disagreement and argument is such a bad thing. It makes for a vital and alive field.
If anything, if you can get somebody interested in something and get them excited, that's great. You should be praised for having opened the debate and having asked the right questions.
A debate has one purpose, one purpose only, and that is to facilitate the exchange of ideas directly between two candidates, and that's it.
