Have republicans ever seen a debate before last night?

Last night wasn't a debate. It was a clown show because of Trump's behaviour!

Aside to anonymous - there were no presidential debates prior to 1960.

Broke-*** Dementia Donnie thought he was on a second-grade school playground instead of a debate stage.
The Alzheimers and strokes have rendered his brain incapable of sane or rational thought.

they still haven't seen one.  That wasn't a debate.  That was a circus.  Everything Trump does is a freaking circus.  He has made the U.S. a joke.

- Of course. 
- Many of us have gone back to watch/listen-to debates dating back to the fifties. 
- Every election year, the debates resonate with the political climate at the time. 
- By 2016, the people were so fed up with fakes, plastic and wax in politics, they voted for someone real, even if he had some sharp edges. 
- We're hardly ready to go back to the plastic and wax.  
---- Correction: There were debates dating back to at least Lincoln/Douglas. 
Recorded from radio broadcast and later, TV broadcasts.
The Kennedy/Nixon debates were, in fact, in 1960 but they're not the first debates.
