The "debate" we've been DREADING. Fox News full of themselves as usual. It's not really a "debate" is it? It's a Q&A session with the "moderators" (more like "instigators") who love the spotlight, embed their opinions into the questions, target who they want to take down, pit one against another, avoid substantive issues with the Obama administration and Leftist policies, and give no one a chance to go into any kind of depth on anything.

I hope I miss it. Even Trump may not be enough of a pull to watch this. Carson's humorous comments might have been an attraction but he's not going.

Why does the Right continue to let the Leftist MSM run the Right's show? They meekly come to these things like sheep to a slaughter or like prisoners lined up for target practice. Unbelievable really.

They are NOT Debates and need to be eschewed.

These debates are a joke. I see no reason the remaining candidates should subject themselves to this farce. All Faux News is looking for is some gotcha questions that they can replay a million times.

Oh, well. It’s more free publicity for Trump. I won’t watch it, but that’s nothing new.

If Trump stays away, there will be as many moderators as debaters.

romney doing a speech in morning so meggins can ask Trump a question about it in debate. “ Mr. Trump, do you denounce the KKK military wing of the democrat party?”

Carson is out of the debate. Trump needs to skip it too. Let the three losers take gotcha questions from Megyn.

These stupid shouting matches and give me a headache. If they really wanted a debate (which they don’t!), they would ask each candidate the same question, an actual policy question, and when that person’s set time was up, his microphone would be shut off. Then they would move to the next guy and repeat the procedure with the very same question.

If a candidate used his time to attack someone else, well, too bad. Each one would still be asked the same policy question and how they answered would be up to them. There wouldn’t be any of this nonsense where a candidate was allowed to immediately respond to a mention of his name.

The MSM turned the debates into the Jerry Springer show.
