I’d prefer not to have moderators at all. Just program the mics to turn off after X minutes and let the other guy have equal time, then present the next question electronically.
But this moderator was as good as we can expect to get under the present system.
We’re currently fighting at least two wars , with troops in the field. There was no mention of those wars in any of the debates
Talk about disrespecting the men and women who serve! They were IGNORED by the commission and the moderator.
Need two MODERATORS — A Democrat - A Republican
The Democrat questions the Republican Candidate
The Republican questions the Democrat Candidate
Each gets specified time when expired the mikes
get turned off and the other begins questioning.
Let the candidates choose the moderators. The MSM moderators are not impartial. Let’s just bake in the bias in a more fair way. It won’t be easy getting there since democrats can’t get out of bed without having their fingers on the scale.
... bathroom breaks.
Fixed it.
Made me think, is he saying they had spicy Taco's for lunch? LOL
What debates? I haven’t seen anything approaching an actual presidential debate... ever. Two minutes to state your case? Thirty seconds to respond and rebut? Kindergarten shit.
We can start by not calling them “Mainstream Media.” On television Fox beats all of them combined. No one reads their papers. No one listens to them on radio. They’re terrified of our ascendency on the internet as well. If we are referring to news media, the Leftist propaganda outlets are hardly the mainstream anymore.
Most Republican Pols ARE mainstream media lovers. The party sickens me. God Bless President Trump.
While you're at it dispense with the notion that what is happening is actually a debate.
Great idea!
The Republican could select, say...Mark Levin; and the Democrat could select, say...Chris Wallace./s
100%
I agree with this.
I don’t need to see another micro-managed presidential debate. Dump the format & moderator. Let the candidates ‘manage’ it.
..... To make it fair why not just have two moderators ... One MSM and One Conservative each asking every other question?

Remember Hillary’s famous bathroom break, during one of her 2016 debates? It never occurred to me at the time, but it probably wasn’t a bathroom break at all. More likely a butt chewing of one of her staff or the producers, or a pow wow with her staff on the game plan.
Because, as we all know, politicians and tv characters NEVER have to use the bathroom...well, except for poor old Jerry Nadler.
If Trump loses, they won't have to.
Many proposed solutions within the thread would help, including the candidates asking the questions, but this would only work for the final one-on-one. It’d be very difficult with 16 or 10 or 5 candidates.
Just as important, is the wording of the questions which are framed from a beltway frame of reference ie: “everyone knows climate change is bad....”, instead of : “your thoughts on climate change, and solutions if you feel it’s an issue.”
The problem is the republicans on the committee to select the debate moderators are anti-Trumpers DS trolls.
