Many Americans ARE invested in hearing what candidates have to say and how they conduct themselves; many cannot abide sitting on their cushions for 2 or 3 hours, listening to all the issues discussed. Tens of thousands of rural Americans rode horseback or in buggies for hours navigating rough, muddy, dangerous trails to hear 2 Senators, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, debate issues of great import in 1858, at 7 Illinois sites (our Knox College, Galesburg, IL, being the last remaining building associated with those debates). Today, many think they know everything, henceforth they can’t be schooled on anything (unless that schooling comes from Fox). There are currently 3 Republican primary challengers to Donald Trump, although organizers in several states have cancelled GOP primaries to help ensure Trump’s re-election, whilst many are divided and leaving the party in droves. Several Republican Congressmen have resigned in the past 3 years, and continue to resign, some imprisoned; more could be lost to indictments soon.
