We need debates that get deep into the nitty gritty of the issues, that’s where the men will be separated from the boys, there are far to many boys in this race, if we already had one decent debate the field would much thinner by now.
You are exactly right. The tabloid debate format has not produced results. We want moderators who understand the issues and can steer valid discussions.
That’s what we want, the networks look at the debates as a form of entertainment tonight. They learned long ago that the public generally wasn’t watching the debates because they were too boring.
Now that they have people watching, I mean really the entertainment value from the last debate was outstanding, Hollywood could not have written a better script! Why should they change back to the boring policy type format?
