If each candidate gets only 3-4 minutes of speaking time in an hour (as opposed to the host -- I won't even call them the mod-word -- who gets 20-30 minutes), it isn't worth going to or watching.
I'd rather see a series of debates with 3 or 4 candidates, selected randomly for fairness, if necessary, and have a real debate or at least a real discussion, and fewer sound bites and hand-raising polls.
With all the credibility given for mythical “electability”, I would be happy to see some debates between republicans and democrats before we have a nominee.
As things stand now they all claim to be the electable candidate but for all we know they’ll turn into pudding when faced with a real democrat. And then it’s just too late.
After the CNN sneak attacks, Duncan Hunter sent a letter to the Clinton campaign inviting her to send more. That’s not a man afraid of facing a tough fight.
