In a debate, any question that is an “interview” question is unfair.

The whole purpose of a DEBATE is to ask a question relevant to the topic and have the DEBATERS state their opinions or stance on the issue...

The object of a debate is to discern differences of opinion between the debaters, not point at individuals...

If they are ALL asked ‘interview’ questions then it is not unfair to any candidate- just to the viewers.

That's good.

These are not, of course, classic debates in which a single proposition is presented and two sides argue for or against.

These are nothing like that.

What about a one on one Q and A? What's unfair? Not silly or irrelevant, but unfair?

Is there any way MK could have asked a fair question about the names that Trump called those women?

Or is the subject matter completely out of bounds? If so, Why?

Not directed directly at you Boonie. Just throwing some thoughts out there.
