“just because you’re a good debater doesn’t mean you are going to be a good president.”

You think? Debates have become useless, but a way to attempt to take down Trump.

Yup. Debates haven’t moved numbers.

Do we really need to hold the rest of them?

I think we were way past that long ago.

These press communists are like nursery school, wet diapered children with their moaning and bawling. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t get their headlines and ideas right from the Clinton campaign. Democrat debates have the sizzle of a flushing toilet and not a word from these louts.

I am definitely tired of them. The one last night was one of the worst yet. The only purpose of it was for the establishment through their cronies to take out Trump. Enough of this nonsense.

After the first two anyone with any interest stopped watching. It is nothing more than a group of Leftist journalists trying to make Republican Candidates wrestle in the mud.

Worthless as it is all gotcha questions complete with Journalist rebuttals in the form of full page set ups intended to make any deviation from a previous statement as a falsehood or lie.

As long as they insist on having audiences, it will be “The Jerry Springer Show” and taint the Republican brand.

The debates remind me of an old toy for boys called “Rock’em, Sock’em Robots”, One blue plastic boxer, one red plastic boxer fight each other. The fists are controlled by levers under the ‘ring’ or gameboard. It was better than fooseball.

“Jeb Bush, looking more and more Presidential every day, dominated the latest debate polls.”

GOPe fantasy.

Trump has won every debate, according to the online polls.

Won them overwhelmingly.

I’m starting to get tired of winning.

Can’t we just stop?

Party Insiders “fear that the insult-rich clashes are becoming deeply damaging to the GOP’s image”

They need to lay down a few ground rules for the moderators
as to the type of “questions” that are appropriate.

They should demand that moderators stop the negative approach calculated to stir up animosity between the candidates and concentrate on questions as to a candidates platform and how they would govern.

There is too much of the “He said this and he said that so what do you say?” kind of “question”.

If the moderators won’t agree to stop setting one candidate against the other and ask positive questions the GOP should just tell them they cannot host a debate.

There are other venues who want the audiences that debates bring in.

They’re fatigued because the anti-establishment candidates keep winning them.

The debates have been ridiculous. It is time to cancel them.

Cancel the FNC “Debates” for sure. And fire Greg Gutfeld, Dana PeRino, Megyn Kelly, and Chris Wallace while you’re at it.

I have moderator fatigue, not debate fatigue. I’d love to see them really debate in depth platforms and issues. Give them 5 minutes per turn. Have one moderator to introduce a subject, and let the candidates take it from there - no questions.

They’re stupid. Cruz and Rubio demean and insult Trump but they do it with high sounding language. When Trump responds back he responds in the same fashion, but with more common language. That’s one of his appealing qualities to many. He knows when someone’s pissing on him and calling it rain and responds like someone’s pissing on him.

The purpose of the constant debates arranged by the GOPe in conjunction with the media is the destruction of all conservative or outsider candidates in a meatgrinder process so the GOPe candidate wins.

But it looks like Mr. Trump found a way to go around it and overcome it.
