Media runs the world, and it all changed, I think, when the debate between Kennedy and Nixon happened, and first of all we saw them on television, and that changed everything.
And I'm sure after Facebook it will be the little cameras that we have implanted into the palms of our hands and we'll be debating whether we should get them, and then we'll all get them.
What takes place in the Security Council more closely resembles a mugging than either a political debate or an effort at problem-solving.

There are 435 members of Congress. There's one 'Morning Joe' show. Hopefully, we can keep hammering the argument that you can disagree with other people and have debates but remain civil.
Political debate with liberals is basically impossible in America today because liberals are calling names while conservatives are trying to make arguments.
