“Would that Reince punch back over the debate moderaters. These announcements are made every election cycle and we jump. Where are these fabled “brass knuckles” when needed?”
Big talk from him, which is good, but let’s see what action he takes to change, or boycott, these enemy debate moderators.
There are two ways to handle that. One is to make a big issue of it, and that could be a diversion from the real issues. The other is to politely play the networks' game, but so structure responses as to make the moderators appear ridiculous for framing questions in an irrational manner--as they usually do. Newt Gingrich--whom I believe is now to the Left of Romney--showed one way to do this in some of the debates;--but there are other ways, more consistent with the Romney personality, that one can demonstrate.
The advantage in demonstrating a clearer understanding of the issues & underlying factors that actually control the dynamics of any situation, should not be over-looked.
