Wallace should have been fired the next day.

Spot on comment.

The Fourth Estate has become a Fifth Column.

Great suggestion. The Left would have a complete and total meltdown over it.

Two moderators; "Our moderator questions your candidate and your moderator questions our candidate."

Liberals have been trashing him for smoking Pot with Elon Musk while interviewing him, which is ironic since they want it legalized.

I think you mean hypocritical rather than ironic.

I don’t really care if he smokes pot. I don’t really care that he wouldn’t do this. I don’t really even care that he is a socialist or whatever. I was just saying he would be good at it.

I am not in favor of getting a conservative moderator or a liberal moderator. I am in favor of getting a moderator who will be fair, ask good questions, and moderate the discussion instead of injecting their stupidity into the situation like the current moderators do.

I’ve watched numerous episodes of the Rogan show and he invariably asks good questions and LISTENS to the answers and then asks follow up questions. He tries to understand what is being said in response to his questions, and asks pertinent follow ups. He does talk about his experiences and thoughts on subjects, but that’s his show’s format.

The thing about Trump mentioning the Chinese compromise of the Biden family is VERY important to anyone who would be impacted by a manchurian candidate- which is everyone- yet the media intentionally covered it up. Rogan would have been all over that topic and would have hammered the guest with these questions.

A curveball question to a candidate need not be damaging if the candidate is allowed to make a proper response. That response must include cross examination of the moderator by the candidate.

The candidates should be allowed some amount of time to question the moderators. The moderators should not be able to hide behind ‘I ask the questions, you answer’.

No need for moderators wanting attention, they aren't running for office.

There is an easy way to fix this.

All moderators must have been banned by Twitter and Facebook.

Anyone else is just a shill for the ruling elites.

“No need for moderators wanting attention,”

I doubt that the moderators would want to be cross examined by the candidates.

I’d like to hear about your visit to Epstein’s Island, Chrissy.

This is one of the reasons many of us have viewed establishment Republicans as the Washington Generals of politics. Good to see someone at the RNC has gotten a clue and a backbone.

Great as long as our moderator isn’t a RINO.
