Should’ve been handled like the undercard debate with Bush, Kasich and Carson in the first one and Rubio, Cruz and Trump in the second one. The people in the second one have an advantage since no one in the first one can respond to their criticisms, so the top tier candidates should’ve been in the second one.
Agree. I don’t trust Cooper. I would hope the questions are vetted by the candidates as well. Sick of the popups.
There was a good townhall even last election with Gingrich and Cain, sponsored by one of the Texas area Tea Parties, although I can’t remember exactly which one. Much more depth, discussion and collegial atmosphere, something sorely missing..
