A GOP Presidential debate is being held on September 27, 2023. Debates in previous cycles have been labeled as uncivilized or unbecoming of America. For the resolution of this market, a review will be conducted on the morning of September 29 of all articles posted about the debate on September 28 on CNN.com, excluding "Live Updates during the debate" feeds.

This market resolves to NO if there are more articles that criticize multiple candidates, moderators, audience members, the debate hall, or others involved with producing the debate for uncivil behavior than there are articles praising these people for managing a substantive debate that helped audience members decide who to vote for.

Otherwise, if praise is the majority opinion, if there is equal weight on both sides, or if the debate is so conventional that nobody comments at all about its civility, this market resolves to YES.

The spirit of the question is targeted at the civility of the debate itself. Therefore, excessive personal attacks by a single candidate, which cause controversy over that candidate's actions and which don't degrade the conversation in general, are insufficient to label the debate in its entirety as "uncivilized."

The market resolves to N/A if the debate is cancelled, postponed until after September 30 at 11:59:59pm EDT, or if CNN doesn't publish a single article about the topic on September 28.

RESOLUTION: During the August 23, 2023 debate, CNN did not post any mentioning the tone of the debate.

During this debate, the most prominent article that CNN posted stated that Donald Trump won because the other candidates were involved in so many attacks and crosstalk that it belittled them. Multiple other commentators also criticized the candidates for lacking respect for the moderators. Sexual comments by two candidates were also highly criticized.

This time, there were no articles praising anyone for a substantive debate, but there were multiple opinion pieces mentioning the rowdy tone, so the correct resolution is NO.
