MODERATORS
How about this: instead of a debate they both take an IQ test created and administered by a neutral party. Recordings of them taking the test will be released to the public once they are both finished.
For a conservative, only a conservative qualifies as "neutral". Everyone else is "the extreme left".
For some Republicans, even some other Republicans are "the extreme left".
Trump would boast that he managed to colour inside the lines "and they were very small lines!".
Test administrator's response: "Sir there was no coloring portion on this test."
But I brought my own markers!
I'm like 50/50 on if Trump knows the year, just the year, the US was founded on. Even if he gets the tip ''Philadelphia has a Basketball Team''
I mean, that's kind of ambiguous. 1775, 1776, 1783 and 1789 could all be argued to be the founding year.
There is an offical year, man.
Just have them read an essay on camera and then write a short summary.
Nah fuck it have the test fully made by the opposing party and "Kamabla" would still whoop him
That... Might actually be a better option. They could throw whatever nonsense at Kamala and she'll still do well, and he'll get basic questions relevant to government and fail abysmally.
Question 1: "Who legally won the 2020 US presidential election?"
Even better: after both parties submit their questions, they are told the candidates will have to answer both tests.
How about a one question test: have you ever tried to overthrow the government of the United States?
I wonder how one would find an actual neutral party with one of the most polarizeing people in history involved.
As long as they were provided with the same test, the same answer key was used, and we are able to watch each of them take the test, it really shouldn't matter. Even if the test was "name Trump's children" Kamala would score higher.
Doesn't matter, it's not like he'd ever agree to publicly displaying his actual, measurable, level of intelligence.
True that.
There aren't any people who are neutral on the politics of the most powerful country in the world
Not even Russia? I'm SHOCKED!!!
