HERE’S MY OPINION:
NO MORE DEBATES. THESE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE MAINSTREAM/ SOCIALIST LEFTIES, POSING AS JOURNALISTS TO PRANCE, DANCE, SMIRK, BEHAVE LIKE CHILDREN.
I USED TO LOOK FORWARD TO THEM, BUT NO MORE...
NO MORE DEBATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A real debate would have only a time keeper and no moderators.

I used to be in your camp on this but I’ve changed my view. I would suggest the candidates DO a real debate. No moderator needed. Each candidate gets an opening statement...say 3 minutes. Then they alternate asking the other questions with a 2 minute answer followed by a 1 minute rebuttal. No partisan moderators, just a time-keeper maybe with the ability to cut off a mic when the time limit is exceeded. Think Lincoln - Douglas debate !! This would show the ability of the candidate to engage in meaningful discussions and think on their feet and demonstrate their command of the issues. Think how this format would go if it was Trump - Harris and Vance - Walz.
Agreed! Republican candidates should say when asked if they will debate “Absolutely not. We will not give liberal moderators the satisfaction of hearing their own voices as they protect the left while ganging up on the right”
