Reply #26: For those who say this should be done in the open, in front of the cameras... [View All]

If they did this in public it wouldn't work, because everyone would feel the need to play to their base, to satisfy their benefactors, to maintain their 'public image'. The Republicans wouldn't be able to agree with the Democrats on any points, because it would be repeated ad nauseum in the RW echo chamber. The Democrats wouldn't be able to be tough on the Republicans because it would be repeated ad nauseum in the so-called MSM. No one would be able to be rude, or blunt, or diplomatic, or threatening, or pointed about anything or to anyone. No one would be able to be forgiving. No one would be able to be honest. No one would be able to say what they REALLY think.

If the cameras were on, they would only be able to 'play' to the cameras and the audience.


I think this is an excellent idea. I hope it helps.
