Moderator Gerard Baker is a condescending foreigner who isn't an American Citizen so he can't vote. He should be dumped immediately and should not be moderating a U.S. Presidential debate. He's also the same guy who collaborated with Karl Rove on his pre-Fox debate WSJ Op-Ed hit on Trump.

I can’t see why this is anything to agonize over.

How about they dump the debate then? I think they are trying to pick a fight with Carson and Trump. They want to play a game of chicken and honestly they hope Trump doesn’t show up.

Opening statements are a waste of time at this point. If anyone wants to know more about the candidate, they can go to their website.

I don’t intend to give this debate any audience.

I’ve had enough of this already.

I know who I am for, and who I am not for.

I’ve had enough of the media.

[djstex]

Well Fox is no surprise. The damn debates with republicans who've had the most, are ALL about the Moderators!
These show-boats want their claim to fame about their snarky and offensive selves.
No Substance just a different panel!

[bigbob]

Well, on the other hand...

Maria. Batiromo.

Tell FOX to EAT S#IT also! F-THEM!

[Timber Rattler]

Not going to fly, not anymore.

[Calpublican]

why can’t the candidates decide what and who they want. They are grown people who want to be president.
I’m pretty sure they can make a decision.

[sheik yerbouty]

Just another political ambush..

Opening statements are not necessary. I think closing statement suck too.

I also think when their time is up, the mic should be shut off. Automatically.

These guys are acting like 7th grade girls.

If you cannot get your point across in 60 seconds, it’s not gonna happen.

[Gator113]

Fox is not our friend. After Bloody Megan and her circus, our candidates should not let them play anymore.

The candidates should organize their own debate. Invite the networks to bid on the exclusive coverage and, if no bidders let C-Span cover it. Guaranteed there will be bidders.

[Starstruck]

I noticed all the Trump people on this thread who want walk away from debates with their guy in the lead. In the NFL it is called prevent defense. Late in the 4th quarter it might work but we haven’t even hit halftime.

[catnipman]

It’d be pretty funny if Fox gave a debate and none of the candidates showed up.

[dead]

Opening statements are canned boring crapola.

[AdaGray]

Dump them.

[GilGil]

What no Megyn Kelly at the next Fox News debate!

[Thibodeaux]

good...... opening statements are in effect pandering to the well known losers
