Wonderful! Let's get NPR and ABC and NBC, etc., to conduct the debates; let's make sure we let our lib friends pick the sites and the audience, too. Let me be clear, if, these debates have the same formula as the past years, then that PROVES they really have no intention of being anything but pals to the libs.

As opposed to the 6,000 debates they had during the 2012 campaign?

HOW ABOUT NO MORE LEFT WING MEDIA COMMENTATORS AS MODERATORS!@

They don’t know what Republican voters care about (and are most times even hostile).

Let’s get Rush, Hannity, Beck, or someone from Fox News to moderate?

Good grief. Three should be more than enough to roll out the usual blah, blah, blah The only way to make it interesting would be to have Sen. Cruz one-on-one with each of his challengers. We would learn a lot.

Whether before primaries or the general, televised debates have become ridiculous, especially when liberal media scoundrels are asking the questions and moderating. It’s a trap. Just say no.

I can’t imagine watching these.

I pretty much know who I want to get it—but it pretty much doesn’t matter, as I’m certainly not going to vote for the dim—or a 3rd party candidate.

Do not get Beck, he’s gone full kook recently, calling opposition to radical Islam, ‘Nazis’. I would like a Rush hosted debate!

I actually like the idea of lots of debates - just not the debates that actually happen.

It does no one any good when the same exact questions & subjects are brought up debate after debate after debate.

They should all appear in public & let the general public ask questions, on the spot, about anything they want to.

Unfortunately, there are zero candidates who would ever agree to such a thing. They demand their debates generate as little controversy and improvisation as humanly possible.

**** YAWN! ****

I heard the first five will be moderated by Rachel Maddow.

I think it’s over-saturation and trivializes the entire process. Everything gets boring when you have too much of it. Except cocaine.

Have they booked all the leftist agitprop operatives for moderators yet?
