We couldn’t hack 3 hours of it either, so we recorded it, then skipped the chit-chat and ads, just watching the actual Q&A.
God bless the inventors of the FF, and Skip Forward functions on TVs & DVRs.
Well, there certainly is a much better way to fill three hours with an actual debate.
The moderators should be in the background and all candidates should discuss and debate the SAME SUBSTANTIVE issue amongst themselves with probably fewer candidates overall. The last hour could be questions for each candidate from either the audience or the moderators limited to what they actually said during the previous two-hour series of discussions.
I laid out my suggestions on a post yesterday. It would be informative and worthwhile.
