If the candidates CHOSE not to engage in bickering, why do you choose to not follow their lead?

First off you didn't ask a question you made a statment. If your question was why don't hte American people follow there lead it's beause it's fake. If they thought bickering and attacking each toher would help themselves they would have done it. Because this debate was more of a casual atmosphere they wouldn't have looked good being harsh so that's why they didn't. It's politial games, it has nothing to do with being a decent and civil person.
