Do you really think that these men are answering any questions off the cuff?
Every word that they speak has been carefully rehearsed long before they came on this stage.
These endless debates serve like giving pablum to babies - and they used to have their place. But, in this day of cable news, the Internet, etc., there are plenty of other venues for candidates to speak to the American People - and for the American People to speak to and listen to them.
There’s also our local republican organizations and state meetings where, with a bit of personal time, anyone can meet and talk with and listen to the candidates. It involves a bit more individual effort on our individual parts - but if we can’t put forth a bit more individual effort = we deserve to loose.
These endless debates have devolved into little more than dog and pony shows....or, as it was said, they line up like trained seals waiting for the fish to be thrown.
When it gets down the two party candidates left standing - then it’s time for a couple debates.
Go away.
