"He has a strong track record as an economics writer, so he will definitely call the candidates out on economic plans that don't add up."

Since when do the moderators think they are part of the debate? They are there to ask questions, not spar with the candidates. By definition, a "moderator" is not part of the debate. The claims of the candidates can be questioned later on by other commentators.

Why do they need a panel of moderators? Have one person, ask broad based questions, and give every candidate 3 minutes to answer the same question in random order. If the candidates want to challenge each other fine. Save the media interrogation for one on one interviews.

Moderator “Won’t Cater”= accusatory “When did you stop beating your wife?” loaded questions with a gallery of leering, smirking, lefty media gargoyles egging him on.

but what's clear is that he won't be catering to the candidates with right-wing questions that simply allow them to elaborate on their economic policies.

Baker's more moderate stance and experience in economics will allow him to challenge the candidates on the feasibility of their plans and hopefully make them sweat a little.

If I was them I'd boycott the Fox debate...They don't need the debate...

Fox even admits their goal is to tear the candidates proposals to pieces...Talk about an agenda...

Did we learn nothing? I thought we were going to have moderators from the right? Why keep asking for another hit?

I’m not giving it any ratings. Fox had it’s chance and proved what they are.

The debate moderators think they are the ones debating. They think its their job to go after the candidates and expose them.

I don’t know if I’ll bother to watch any more of them. What would be the point?

Gerard Baker, doing the socialist moderating American moderators are just too moderate to do!

What has struck me about the debates so far is that the candidates were cut off when they criticized Hillary.
Seemed like they were only allowed to criticize each other.
Didn’t watch the last one maybe it was different.
