Vetting of the moderators would seem to be appropriate. Which party are they registered with, what is their past record of bias when their words are run through a checking system, have they donated to the Clinton foundation, etc.
Would love to see Trump say, “You reporters asked us to ‘raise our hands’ in one debate, so I want to ask you all to raise your hands if you are registered as a Democrat or if you are planning to vote for Clinton.”
It gets old seeing these dunces act so high and mighty and like they just know better about everything in the world than anybody else. They are almost all really shallow and rather dimwitted, oh and boring too.
I would leave the moderators in place, but make a few changes.
1. Both candidates must stand and there is no podium to stand behind.
2. The only handshake takes place at the end of the debate.
3. The moderator can only ask topical questions which are applied to both candidates. The mod cannot ask probing questions.
4.Any inkling of partisanship will result in a 10 year suspension to both the network and moderator from hosting any further debates.
5. There will be no network commentary on the debate either before or after the debate.
