Grant Reeher was interviewed for the TIME article "This Presidential Candidate Wants to Debate Congress Four Times A Year." "Without a more general change in our political culture, it might make things worse," Reeher says. "I can see that this is an effort to change the political culture by requiring direct engagement, but the participants have to agree to take the exercise at face value, in front of TV cameras, and the political disincentives against doing that right now are strong. Each of them would end up playing to their bases, I would fear." 04/03/19
