The debate was a travesty-because its whole premise was to treat a failed coup leader as a legitimate candidate for the presidency again.
Everything about the event was designed to blur the choice before Americans. Both candidates-the serving president and the convicted felon-were addressed as "president." The questions treated an attempted coup d'état as one issue out of many.
We live in a political culture in which some of us think the supreme issue of our time was an attempted violent overthrow of the Constitution, while other Americans think it was Hunter Biden's laptop. There are means and institutions to arbitrate those differences.
