Very impressed with ABC. Moderators challenged candidates. Did not debate the candidates like Megyn Kelly.
I listened to the debate on radio. I was pleased and impressed at how well it was handled. The Spokespeople did not seek to become The Story. If this network can do it, and keep the program moving, then Fox should be able to do the same.
Didn’t debate the candidates?? Did you not see Martha Ratsass doing exactly that??
Yeah.
They just repeated their questions if the target didn’t respond.
Very professional.
They were all fine except the angry hag.
I agree. The moderators did a great job. I was a little nervous at first when they started with the questions..but I think that is because of what we saw in the previous debates.
I really thought David Muir did a great job. Kudos to him and ABC.
Not perfect, but way better than Fox’s gatchafest.
other than Mary Katharine Ham, no, they didn’t. good God, the trumpbots have got to get out of everyone’s grill that dares to question The Donald.
it’s silly, it’s stupid, and it’s destructive.
did you catch The Donald’s definition of conservatism? it was clownish.
how anyone on such an august forum as this could promote such a charlatan as trump is astonishing.
Don’t you think Martha Redass is Megyn Kelly in another 20 years?
go tell Bill Buckley it’s clownish
Trump wants to conserve America. Bubble boy “thesaurus boy” wants to turn it into Mexico.
I thought they were just pret-ty good. Mary Katherine Hamm seemed a little smirky but I think it’s probably just her way.
It was nice to have grown up moderators for a change instead of nitwits.
You’re right, Raddatts was doing the gotcha game...

Moderators were ok, but the flow of the questions was a little scattered around.
I thought ABC did a good job. They asked a number of questions not previously asked in prior debates and asked the same (or similar) questions to numerous candidates so that voters could compare and contrast their positions. The last Fox debate was 7 simultaneous Meet the Press interviews, not a debate. Finally, the mods allowed candidate interaction.
The biggest negative, my guess is there was not anything close to an equal allotment of time among the candidates, though I may be wrong as it is just my impression.
I thought this was the best moderated debate by a country mile.
WFB condemned trump as a clown.
you need stringer google-fu.
Martha started to debate one of them; she’s supposed to question, not debate. She only tried it once, at least.
Martha Radaczh sucked.
