Someone ran the numbers and found that the friggin’ “moderators” hogged 31%+ of the time with their insanely long, convoluted SPEECHES. I guess we should be grateful that most of them ended in a question.
And because Trump’s business/show business experience has conditioned him to believe he owns the room, he doesn’t do well in a setting like last night. And that AMBUSH by Kelly seemed to indicate to me that they were following Murdock’s order to Ailes to “knock off the Trump coverage” (at which time Ailes politely told Murdock to go to hell). Watch for FOX to list further to port as lefty little Jimmy Murdock takes over for the old man.
Trump HAS put forth specific solutions in “Time To Get Tough”. He might want to pay for another printing and cut the price to a buck a copy and put them out here among the folks. Hey, Donald, how about PUTTING IT UP ON-LINE?
All told, the 10 candidates at the 9pm debate spoke a total of 1:08:49, which means an average time of 6:53... only Jeb and Trump were above the mathematical average (surprise, surprise). The other 8 were below the average.
(#9 Walker's responses were never over 48 seconds each, so his shortage seems to be of his own doing.)
The Moderators spoke for almost 5 times as much as the average... 31 percent of the total air time... with ten candidates who needed to be featured and separate themselves from the pack...
