You have to love the cognitive dissonance of a debate where, before every segment they describe the constitutional duties of the president, then ask questions about their pastors, trips abroad, and flags.
Of course, in their defense, the founding fathers might have found the question about repealing the 12th Amendment and bring back 2nd Place Vice Presidents fascinating and highly topical.

There's a pretty long list of things I can come up with that would leave someone from over 200 years ago "scratching their head" if there were to be transported to the present. I'm not sure outrage over debate questions is high on that list. I'm thinking that electricity and maybe refrigeration for example would rank higher.

If such transportation is possible, I have a few suggestions instead of these three dopes.
