Was
it a debate or a debacle Tuesday night in Cleveland?
News
12’s Eileen Lehpamer was at the Plainview Shopping Centre to ask people what
they thought of the first presidential debate between President Donald Trump
and former Vice President Joe Biden.
Some
Long Islanders wondered if the remaining two debates should even be held after
nonstop interruptions and insults.
The
presidential debate commission says it will soon adopt changes to its format to
avoid a repeat of the disjointed first meeting.
The
commission said Wednesday the debate “made clear that additional structure
should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly
discussion of the issues.”
Moderator
Chris Wallace struggled to gain control of the 90-minute debate because of
frequent interruptions, primarily by the president.
The
next presidential debate is a town hall format scheduled for Oct. 15 in Miami.
