| Abstract | "American presidential debates have become chaotically performative, threatening to erode representative democracy by impeding thoughtful deliberation over who can best lead. The Audience Decides seeks to better understand the in-person audience and their influence on those observing this political spectacle by considering primal forms of communication: laughter, applause-cheering, and booing"-- Provided by publisher. |
