It is no secret that the upcoming election is a very hot topic within all circles of our nation today. This is not helped by the inflammatory statements and advertising utilized by organizations with ties to all sides of the political spectrum. During the previous election campaign the presidential debate devolved into a senseless slinging of insults that would be more akin to something one would see in an elementary schoolyard rather than by two individuals vying to be the elected leader of our nation.
On a recent episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience", Tim Kennedy, US Army Special Forces Sniper, Mixed Martial Artist, and businessman, suggested that instead of the traditional debate format, the two presidential candidates would come onto the show and do an extended debate with Joe Rogan as the moderator for the debate. This was suggested as Rogan is well known and often criticized for his inclusion of many different political ideologies on his show. http://podcasts.joerogan.net/podcasts/tim-kennedy-2
I think this would be a very interested concept, however, I do not think this would ever end up actually occurring. While I love the idea of taking away an audience to be played to and to take away the aspect of using these buzz words/phrases to get the crowd on your side, the party headquarters would never let this happen as they would not have any influence into the types of questions that would be asked by Rogan.
