@@connordavis2345 this is not disgusting. This is government functioning in a healthy manner and doing what it’s supposed to do. What would you rather see these two men doing? Not having a civilized debate? Not working towards a solution? Digging their heels in and not compromising to the point it leads to a government shutdown?

it’s been too long, i hope this comes back soon

Hell no. This was an actual discussion of ideas

Today it's a personality show.

Wait, where are the personal insults? Is this a political discussion? Im 20 so all i know is the awful political climate of the past 10 years

Yes

Do you mean today rather than then?

@@IanMalcolm-rw5pn "if we saw this kinda of debate in congress". You mislabeled his argument. Try again.

OMFG all I hear is it's the otherside to blame, garbage bullshit. No wonder Rome is falling.

Yes

Loved it

América is a continent asshole

Country over political party

@@sebibalbi North America is a continent. South America is a continent. The Americas is North and South America. *America is the shortened name of The United States of America* Stop bitching

@@sebibalbi what’s your problem?

indeed, indeed

McCain died and Trump called him a traitor.... When he was arguably one of the most principled men in the Republican Party. He saved Obamacare too

Jelliot Williams and that’s why he was failure and a traitor

@@johnwaffleh2p70 lol I’d be uninsured without McCain so whatever And you wonder why the republicans lost Arizona 😂😂😂

+Sam Reynolds pics or it didn't happen

+Matthew Larsen What else could you expect from Australia?

+Matthew Larsen Americans wish that our Congress was able to debate in the same way that the House of Commons does. This example is actually a rarity in this country. It is very rare that Republican and Democrats get to debate like this.

you moron, its not for your entertainment, its for the direction of the country!

British parlement created this senate

Indeed. He had solid principles and didn’t just follow party leaders. Anyone who can do that is respectable

He is/ was a dying breed. One of the last politicians to vote personal ideas over party

He deserves our respect regardless of the party he’s in. He was a hero. But I still gotta respect Senator Durbin cause I’m one of his constituents.

@@Bonkasneeze no they only show you that since thats what gets clicks

@@alphazero5614 is he wrong?

He wasn't the SOLE republican who saved it, but he was the deciding vote.

Don’t remind me

Opportunist decision

@@ArikHarv yeah Opportunity to get shunned from the party you defended your whole life.....

@@ArikHarv It's almost like people change their opinions based on data and experience. Wow crazy!

I agree. It's great to watch a debate conducted by mature people with respect shown towards one another as opposed to a free for all with people screaming /cussing at one another. One time while watching a political debate several kids made the comment that it wasn't all that exciting to watch. I guess they were expecting fireworks to go off or for a fist fight to possibly break out. LOL

Fast forward to 2020 and Feinstein is cancelled for saying something nice to Lindsey Graham 😂

Fast forward to 2023 and GOP Congressfolk were heckling during the State of the Union

Ya it was a decade ago

Thats because this was before the rise of the Progressive Movement and the Nuclear Option. Most of this chaos only started with Obama’s second term, as the anti war movement and rhetoric ramped up alongside BLM, Antifa, the LGBT rights movement, and most of the other stuff that has caused the country to go so radical. Progressivism has destroyed moderation and continues to do so. This General Election showcases it more than anything. We had half the nominees of a dominant political party endorsing the desecration of institutions such as the Electoral College, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. Why? Because they appeal to the Progressives and Radical millennials who dont care to understand the importance of our institutions. Radical pushes for extreme actions will destroy this country’s stability if we do not push back.

@@AndrewJ9673 and this kind of "the other side is responsible for all our problems" is exactly what's wrong with our country.

It's got more reality than any reality tv show ever has.

I agree I might become a politician

Soooooo true man! Exactly man! Amazing! That's so true!! I think you are able to feel me

He also was a RINO and is the only reason we still have this terrible healthcare system from Obama

bjehulk Trump has denounced the last two Republican nominees for president as RINO’s, both men have been in the party longer than trump ever even considered running for office. Stop buying into everything the man says and thinking critically for half a second. Who is the real RINO? ITS TRUMP.

@@bjehulk this supposed terrible healthcare is what have saved thousands of lives in this pandemic

@@brendan1827 They are RINOS though, and terrible presidential candidates too. That is why they lost. Both Romney and McCain were globalists, they supported trade deals that hurt the American worker and they were weak on immigration. Trump is the embodiment of putting Americans first.

@@connorrobertscaptures1275 Saved? What about the 120 million people who lost their good insurance plans because of Obamacare?

sojutime This greatly lacks the hot fire banter that PMQ has

sojutime It is more civilized, instead of mp(s) trying to one up each other and the pm.

+sojutime The United States has a different system where the upper house (Senate) and the lower house (The House of Representatives) are both equal in power, whereas in the UK The House of Lords has lost much of its forer privileges. You don't see debates like these in the House of representatives however, the Senate have both longer and 'stronger' debates, and you need a 3/5 majority to pass anything there.

There hasn't had a good Prime minister for the UK since Thatcher, so there's no point in questioning the current ones.

We generally end up calling that whatever TV show the president is on and his (someday her) Press Secretary usually does it daily.

Ull not see that for a long time.

Back when some of these people had dignity

Just asking why you said Obama’s second term, what changed?

@@davidmontez5779 the principal point of why I included it was to better understand when this was. Country still trying to deal with the recession and the tea partyists enjoying their ride up the ranks but still before the major partisanship and rancor settled in.

@@connordavis2345 as opposed to shouting at people I disagree with stamping my feet in the ground and refusing to either compromise or even acknowledge their position? That sounds like you're going to get a lot done there.

@@connordavis2345 I don’t think anyone disagrees that even before the Trump administration, our government was never perfect. But I think you’re being entirely too critical if you’re going to say either of these senators were part of the problem.
