Debate or not debate. That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to ignore the stings and errors of obnoxious insults, or to reply in kind.
Will one candidate reply in kind to the personal insults launched by her opponent or will she ignore them and focus on political and economic issues?
We shall see. An encounter labeled "debate" is on schedule, but whether it comes across as "civil" is an open question.
At the core of the question is the issue of control. Who's in charge? One of the candidates or the moderator?
Will the encounter be a "debate" or will one side take the bait and suffer the stings and errors of an outraged opponent?
If so, who will that be? An outraged real estate salesman or an experienced prosecutor of legal challenges?
You decide.
The ultimate winner will be determined after Election Day in November. Will that be decided by the popular vote -- citizens in general -- or will it be decided by a few state-selected members of the Electoral College, who are influenced or controlled by one of the candidates?
It has happened before.
Several times.
You can look it up.
