1. We can start by having the questions prepared by a different people than the moderators. Maybe we the people can be polled on what is important to us.
2. The moderators should only be there to enforce the rules of the debate. They should be boring, invisible type people.
3. Since we have multiple debates anyway, let each debate be on one topic only and beat it to death.
I think part of their so-called plan was to get these questions from viewers, voters and so forth. They did get them, if I am not mistaken. They had a whole cornucopia of valid issues and dire ills in this country to choose from.
Yet, the first question out of the gate was to Trump and why he’s a general in the war on women - and it wasn’t “just Rosie O’Donnell- here I have a whole list prepared.....”
Yep, her first question an old standard of the Democrat Party, one of the prime phalanxes of Hillary’s campaign now, in fact.
After the debate, this learned team of moderators bleated “we were showcasing what they’ll be getting from Democrats - if they can’t take it from us, then how do you expect them to win?” Yes, let the Democrats and media frame the debate, pick ALL the questions and issues, and then you pukes can tell us who to vote for - that’s what you’d like, isn’t it? We don’t need no stinkin’ information about no candidates’ positions; we only need your proclamation about who kissed your ass the best. That’s the ticket.
They should ask broad policy questions, and have every candidate answer the same question in random order. But of course that would mean the moderators wouldn’t be important. The agenda of the networks is to make news about themselves, hence the gotcha questions.
