Debate skills aren’t a presidential job qualification, and the format of our presidential debates, especially now, aren’t really about debate skills anyway. There’s never a time when a president has to argue with somebody in front of an audience, especially not somebody who’s telling lies or is permitted to distract them while they are speaking.

Great oratorical skills aren’t a job requirement either. Delivering a rousing speech is great, but it isn’t a part of governing.
