I don’t understand why the Chamber of Commerce is doing the debates head to head and district by district. Would they be only doing McLaughlin and Bryan in George town to show the difference between the two of them.
I wonder if they have invited other news media to these questions / debates?
I would agree with the debates if everyone was invited , and if they were done fairly, but I think that looks like a 25% chance. No giving the questions and answers before the debate . Who is going to police that ?
Why have two separate nights for 4 or 5 candidates? It’s the same location.
say it again louder (for the people in the back)
