The KENNEDY NIXON DEBATE That DIDN'T Happen
With today's candidates debating when to have a first or second debate, it's worthwhile to note that in 1960, there was a debate as to whether have 5 debates!! In this re-run episode from 2020, we discuss. After the four TV debates between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in 1960, there was talk of a fifth. That talk didn't result in another TV debate, but did provide one more campaign issue for a very tight election, and developed a new thing - TV debate negotiations. We look at 1960, the fifth debate talk, and other reasons besides the debates that affected the 1960 election results. We are part of Airwave Media Network Learn more about your ad choices.
