Yes, I agree with that. I applauded him for that.
BTW, we’re both ignoring the 600 pound gorilla in the room.
These are not debates.
The moderator should simply introduce two people. Those people should submit their top issues. From those top issues, between 6 and 8 should rise to the top. The moderator would simply name them, and let the two candidates go at it. Opening statements. Question to the other person, responses, and sum up each topic, and at the end.
I think there might be something to final round eliminations.
Start off with 16 and pair them up. The eight winners are paired up again, then four, then two.
That would narrow the field easily, and the issues would get a full ride.
NO! NO! NO! Silly you. Those would be REAL debates. Those would be REAL debate rules, don’t you see?
And.... besides how could MEGYN KELLY possibly up her contract value without being the center of attention, center stage, center camera in THOSE circumstances! She will want to shake up this race, change the future, and leave seated on the shoulders of the enamored K Street and COC chiefs. :)
