Sometimes I wish debate was like professional wrestling, particularly the way Bret The Hitman Hart did it. Debaters always want to make themselves look good and their opponents look bad. Especially political debates. But whenever Bret Hart had a professional wrestling match, he seemed determined to make not only himself look good, but his opponent look good as well. I think even in a fixed sport it takes a lot of confidence to do that. He brought out the best in his opponent, whether it was Diesel, or Hakushi, or Jean-Pierre LaFitte, or Shawn Michaels. I can't remember the last time I saw anything like that in a political debate.
