What is a way to make watching these debates more interesting ?
Mo personally thinks the debates are interested in themselves; however, if you want to add a little razzle dazzle to your viewing, try counting how many times Mo says “Fundamentally.” He is working on getting better about that, but it’s clearly a slow process. Happy viewing.
