Why couldn’t CNN allow Trump to ask Biden 5 open questions, then have Biden ask Trump 5 of his questions he feels strong about... Then each will have to answer 5 questions that he does not have prior knowledge about.
Excellent
And 2 hour debate standing
The debate organizers could do a lot of things to increase viewership and be more fair to each candidate but they won’t. The dinosaur media and establishment hacks are unwilling, maybe even incapable, of change. It’s like the entertainment industry’s award shows (the Oscars, Golden Globe awards, etc.). They create these debates for themselves and their own like-minded viewers. They couldn’t care less about opposing views.
