She is right.

Even in a 3-hour debate, there is very little talk time per candidate. I would like a debate long enough to give each candidate 30 minutes.

Minutes talking in 9/16 debate (from NPR):
Trump: 18:47
Bush: 15:48
Fiorina: 13:30
Carson: 12:56
Christie: 12:36
Rubio: 11:21
Cruz: 10:45
Paul: 10:28
Kasich: 9:44
Huckabee: 9:20
Walker: 8:29

Best boss I ever worked for told me he had two rules about meetings:

  1. Never hold them.
  2. Never attend them.

    We did have a lot of informal get togethers with the people involved in a particular project, but they were generally over in 15-20 minutes.

His formula:

  1. Explain what we were trying to decide.
  2. Outline the alternatives.
  3. Asked if we missed any.
  4. Discuss the pros and cons.
  5. Make a decision.
  6. Make assignments to implement it.

    People who thrived on grandstanding in meetings were not comfortable in that organization. And that wasn't the only advantage.

Does anyone really care what business-failure carly has to say about anything? Maybe she just wants more time to rant about starting WWIII?

Three hours is too long for the candidates and the viewers.

I would support more time for Carly if she was asked about:

1. Her destruction of HP
2. Her sales accounting fraud at Lucent
3. Her love for illegal aliens and desire to given the instant citizenship
4. Her love for muslims and the Ottoman Empire
5. Her rantings about wanting to start WWIII over Syria
6. Her illegal sales to Iran while running HP
7. Her illegal bribes to Russia while running HP

Allow me to go off topic here just for one post.

Donald J. Trump realDonaldTrump 1 hour ago

@HillaryClinton is on the front page of the @nytimes waving to 200 people in New Hampshire. My crowd next door was 5,000 people – no pic!

How about her statement that she’d have voted for Sotomayor for SCOTUS? How could she justify that?

This is dumb of Carly. Unlike Hillary, Trump and Carson have welcomed reporters, have wanted to get their message out, have been constantly in them media. Did Carly think of this herself or did somebody fed her this line?

Carly Fiorina’s numbers go up after a debate - then sink back down.

She wants longer debates because they help her. It’s not much more complicated than that...

Not true, Trump said he’d stand there for ten hours, but the viewers wouldn’t be interested.

Trump does’t need the debates anyway with the numbers he’s getting at rallies.

It’s interesting that Trump (successful) is criticized for being egotistic. This chick has failed at everything she’s ever done and yet she believes she’s qualified to run the country? What could possibly be going on in her brain to know she’s an epic fail and still run for president? I guess it’s what a narcissist does.

Dr. Carson and Trump had it right, it’s time to pare down the field of who gets on stage instead of complaining about the time limits of the overall debate.

Sounds good. Let's start by excluding anyone who was not actively campaigning in the two weeks prior to the debate.

It’s not the 3 hours that’s too much....it’s the 15 individuals that require the program to last 3 hours. Pare it down to 5 or 6 and two hours will be great.
