I didn't watch the debate itself, just saw that in isolation. It's pretty long, don't know if I have the patience.
Am I mistaken or did Andrew pay 300K just for the chance to debate Candace?
I haven't watched much of Andrew but after saying that about Erica he was hired by TPUSA to train their peole in debating techniques. He is considered good at it even by those who think he's dishonest or whatever. Debates can be judged 'won' even if the losing side is actually right in the basic argument. Someone said don't go into a debate with for example a moon landing hoaxer unless you know your shit, otherwise they will just bury you with "facts" you have no counter to.
He did pay 300k.
Apparently, she decided on the specific topics, and also insisted on doing it at her place.
Joe Rogan offered his podcast for the debate, she refused, and they negotiated, and came up with PBD.
I listened to the first hour last night, it didn't appear to get anywhere, and did seem to get a bit lost in nuance. But Candance had not connected any dots to proving her case - felt more that she was basing on that they had not proven it was Robinson, so she could theorize anything she wanted, where Wilson was looking for something concrete to back up her claims of him being a patsy.
