Theoretically, that’s what structured debate and courtroom practice is for. But these days I sincerely doubt anyone, much less a politician, would agree to such a thing, nor would it be easily “television worthy”
98% of people watching wouldn’t understand what’s going on anyway. The rules would get thrown out instantly, and that would be widely perceived as “winning.”
If you have any sort of moderator to actually enforce the rules, they’ll just end up getting death threats for actually enforcing them because that’s “biased.” Especially if only one side violates the rules. Wont matter that the moderator is only enforcing the rules on that side because the other side is following them and doesn’t need enforcement. Don’t know how likely this particular scenario is in the case of two politicians debating, but this is part of why scientists and other people who engage in logical debate can’t engage with bad actors in good faith.
