  • The degradation of articulation and civility from 2012 to 2024 is truly shocking
  • @tjm4702
    Who’s here after Trump and Biden debate ?
  • 2012: Congratulations Mr. President on your anniversary :) 2024: Arguing about golf
  • 2012: Compliment the opponent and persuade America 2024: Insult your opponent and brag about yourself
  • They were actually civil, well mannered and respectful. What has this country come to.
  • @jacoblane6313
    Although civility is important, I miss having candidates that just look alive
  • Once upon a time we had 2 honorable men having a polite and civil debate. Now we have a glorified used car salesman debating a nursing home patient. We're officially in the matrix...
  • Absolutely unbelievable. This level of mental clarity, kindness, and... humanity? Is something I took for granted at the time.
  • @cgibbs011
    Boring. Where is the talk about their golf scores???
  • @whinybilly523
    how did we go from this to “my son was not a sucker not a loser, you’re the sucker, you’re the loser!”😂

    i am a international student. 2012, i used this clip to learn English, great material. 2024, i use presidential debate to learn the damage of Alzheimer.
  • @sauceokay
    IMO they're too articulate for the average American to understand. That's partially why we have Trump and Biden today
  • @klee305
    Came here to see how far we’ve fallen.
  • Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, greeted each other, called each other Mr. President and Mr. Senator and respected each other as if they were both looking for the interest of the United States of America… exactly what it should be from the get…
  • 2012 : two people explaining their ideas and how they are planning to solve problems in a civil manner. 2024 : one person have a criminal history and the other can't even complete a coherent sentence , and they are both pointing out each other's failures rather than explain how they plan to fix it.
  • @nunzio2575
    I couldn’t stand Romney then when I was young and dumb . Today id vote for him in a second over the two options we have today .
  • @jeremywon
    why cant we have these types of debates again 😭😭
  • @late8641
    Back when you could vote for a genuine favorite, not just the better of two terrible options.
  • @benh-d8733
    Ahh, yes, the good old days back when they were both awake, no felonies, civilized, and not 80 years old.
  • @fishme6892
