The website YouTube allowed everyday, ordinary American people to ask questions directed to the candidates for the Democratic Party nomination. CNN carried the brodcast live on TV on Monday, July 23rd.. Users had to film their questions and submit them to YouTube. This debate was a brilliant move at getting the younger generation involved on the political landscape because of the overwhelming popularity of the site within the younger generation age range being 18-35. The broadcast was a sucess, while most of the answers given by the candiates were generic, this platform really opened the door for what the future could hold in regards to public speaking and connecting with the everyday American public. The Republican Party debate will air on Monday, Sept. 17th, so users can start submitting questions now.
