Every debate has a moderator who likes Democrats and hates Republicans. Maybe someday the GOP will insist on having a moderator who does not hate them.

True.

A consummation devoutly to be wished . . . but I don’t expect to see it. The reason is simple - journalism controls the TV time and the microphones - and journalism wants journalist moderators.

The only way to change the debates would be to pass a law revoking FCC licenses for stations which don’t give time for unmoderated debates, in which microphone time is allocated via a chess timer controlling the microphones. That would require Republican majorities in both houses of Congress and a Republican POTUS - and guts. At least as much guts as Reagan showed in discarding the Fairness Doctrine.

It was bad enough with Biden being so rude and puerile and interrupting all the time, but when the moderator kept interrupting—trying to make Ryan lose his train of thought-—I almost turned off the debate.

Under the enormous disadvantage, Ryan came off looking extremely classy and mature. The other two looked like rude obnoxious OWS types or sodomites attacking the Cathedral in S.F. with condoms.

Two more people prove that there is no morality and character on the left in Alinsky’s world. Degeneracy breeds degeneracy—like the Bible says.
