Debates aren’t designed to educate people on issues, they are to compare and argue positions for and against some policy.

And the framing of the questions and subjects covered biases our elections.

Even worse when ‘moderators’ erroneously factcheck candidates.

I don’t think It’s a bad suggestion.

She’s wrong again. These fake news media moderated so-called “debates” should be discontinued. Period.

I know President Trump doesn’t like to back away from a fight - even an unfair fight. But I hope he leverages his incumbency status and his clout as the uncontested Republican nominee to change up the way Presidential debates are done.

Host it himself, in a venue that favors him, with moderators and a debate format of his choosing. Perhaps a Trump rally type of audience....and Mark Levin, Candace Owens, Lou Dobbs and Mercedes Schlapp moderating.

Sound a little one-sided? Good. It’s about time!

If the Democrats don’t like it, they can boycott it and he can debate an empty chair... but if it’s Bernie Sanders, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had the balls to show up anyway. Then we’d have a real debate - finally.

Otherwise, the “debates” will continue to be rigged in favor of the Democrat, as always. It’s a joke - I really don’t understand why we put up with it.

This is a great idea and something I have been saying for a long time. We don’t even see debates, what we see are soundbites and talking points. If there were to be a series of debate and each one focused on a particular topic, you might actually get information out of it.

Oh, goody! I’ll go first, with my themes/topic suggestions, AOC...

Socialism over the years
Communism over the years
2nd Amendment over the years
Capitalism over the years

"Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said during the Wednesday debate in Las Vegas that debates should be themed by issues, both to educate the public"

If I were Trump, I would get the US Atty for PR to vacate Wanda Vázquez Garced's accession to the Governorship as unconstitutional, then appoint AOC but call for snap elections.

Then a year later convict her of 80 counts of election fraud, and put her away in Guaynabo for 20 years.

And the Democrats would go along with every step of that plan.

Themed?

Oh.. Okay...

Moderator: Tonight’s Theme: “How many People have been MURDERED by Socialist governments in the 20th Century?? Mr. Sanders we’ll start with you...”

[ Crickets ..... ]

No?

Moderator: Ok, then... second question: Was the Nazi Party a SOCIALIST Party??? MommaKlobbers? How about you???”

[Silence - except for Bernie choking on his own bile; Bloomberg lets out a wet, cheek-flapping fart, which cracks up Fauxcahontas ]

Moderator: Well.... ok... third question: What’s wrong with the COuntry today...?

All, screaming: ORANGE MAN BAD!!!! ORANGE MAN BAD!!!! ORANGE MAN BAD!!!! ORANGE MAN BAD!!!!

{The former Soviet National Anthem begins playing softly in the background, as the lights fade out....}

Moderator: “This concludes tonight’s debate...”

The globull warming crowd was very insistent on having a “Climate Change Debate”, DNC said no.

Cowards.

Go on... have that themed debate. They already look like a pack of flaming douchebag idiots up there.

About the ONLY thing I applauded was Mini-Mikey calling out Sanders as a communist. Thought Sanders’ head was going to explode... “whoa whoa whoa”... what a stuttering buffoon.

The ONLY truth spoken in that whole democrat farce debate; Mini-Mikey the Fascist buys his way onto the debate stage, and calls out the old Bolshevik F***tard. Beautiful.

You got one Jackboot assh*le dropping a bomb on the other jackboot assh*le on national TV.

Brought a tear to me eyes...

They want a quiz show format. With one candidate being given the questions in advance as CNN did in 2016
