Not a fan of debates? Watch the Super Tuesday show anyway

Michael Nelson is contributing editor and columnist for The Daily Memphian, the political analyst for WMC-TV, and the Fulmer professor of political science at Rhodes College. His latest books are “Clinton's Elections: 1992, 1996, and the Birth of a New Era of Governance" and “The American Presidency: Origins and Development, 1776-2018.”
Some critics argue that debates between candidates are shallow and superficial. To which I say: Compared to what? When else do we get to see them side by side, without their handlers?
