Former local Democratic Party Chair Stuart James joins Let's Chatt for last night's debate analysis

Nobody you know and and i say that because i'm referring to the american people.

That debate was a catastrophe.

Last night it was off the rails and the responsible for being off the rails would be the president of the united states, donald trump ... , why you know he's the president and as president has a duty to tell the american peopl and one the truth has a duty to be somewhat diplomatic.

We do expect some fireworks and in debates and everything has a duty not to be a holy not to talk over people not to lie to the american people and all is happened last night she got it strange that much strange but coincidental timing.

It was 70 years ago this week.

The very first televised presidential debate happened between john and ann richard nixon and going back even as far back as the nixon kennedy debates up to las night.

Do you think these debates really sway the voters you know.

I think last night.

A prime example of why they really don't sway of the voters opinion i'm talking about maybe all because i look this morning on facebook and social media an seo trump supporters reacting to see help.

I'm supporters reacting.

If you look at it from a personal viewpoint trump supporters are still in his camp by cornerstone their camp and there's a political division with these debates don't do necessarily is reach out to that middle boater, whether they're a little bit of the writer a little bit to the left and those voters a smattering of the very confused and wondering whether joe biden shrine of the president and then being barely discussed her debt bowling tactics from the presen living outside himself.

The whole thing and what i saw seemed a little bit out of control including moderator chris wallace and chris is a long time well respected journals, where do you think it got away from ... i think it got away from right at the beginning i think chris wallace expected these two gentlemen to be i think expected the president to be more civil.

I think expected the president to go after joe biden on a personal level, but not to use the bowling attacks that he did to the extent that he did.

I mean never gave anybody a break he talked over everybody every second he could and i mean everybody mean chris wallace an the vice president, and i think chris wallace lost control earl on in the first couple question and was never able to get back and that's chris wallace's failure but under the circumstances.

I'm not sure anybody control this debate is donald trump and want them to control the debate.

Overall speaking, what is the criteria in your opinion, and again you are a real long time democrat activist here in chattanooga yo chairman of the democratic party for several years.

What is the criteria for who wins or loses the statements what you know, i think the criteria is talk abou the issue.

I mean that one of the opportunity to joe biden missed last night was we were talking about taxes.

Nobody missed it or is trampled upon b donald trump but all trump allegedly paid 750 dollars in taxes for two years, 2016, 2070 response that joe biden try to make a simple who cares what the news media reporting.

Mister president, show us your taxes and do it before election day and then there's healthcare covert global warming and the economy all of those things would've been issues that americans would want to hear about and they were missed opportunities.

Actually, for both candidates and checked on full donald trump mostly because he didn't want to talk about those issues.

Hence his continued interruption of joe biden and chris wallace through the night are the 750 dollars in federal taxes he paid for two years is that make him wrong was a regular crook does make a smart businessman.

I mean nobody is going to pay more federal taxes or any other kind.

And they have to word you think ... president trump bits of that scenario.

Is it a smart thing for him to do to have only paid the bare minimum, and you know as well as i do trump doesn't d his own taxes.

He's got somebod else whole team of somebody else's doing i would you your purse.

I mean i think trumps what he's doing is by saying that i don't pay taxes.

I'm smart.

He's appealing to his base and they think he's smart for not paying taxes because gentlemen must pay taxes no not even me, not you pay taxes but you know, here's the problem with i mean if it's 750 dollars in the spaces can support them paying only 730 dollars in income taxes and not talk about other taxes that are gonna love them for what you what it's really simple to solve the problem and i think the democrats are right on this point, just show us your tax returns.

Mister president, you show them and and audits not to stop you from doing their your returns.

It's your right to privacy to keep them private.

But as president of the arch is just showing close this debate down i would just shut him up okay at page 750 dollars in taxes.

Here's my tax returns an then move on stored in a forest just a moment.

You have to take a quick break.

On the other sid of this commercial break were going to bring a longtime frien of yours and also a long time republican political guy here visiting zach off ring a bell for my cousin zach plopped his straightahead along continue th
