Re: “I agree that there were issues that were not covered but the character of the candidates and their biographies are always relevant issues.”
You make a very valid point about the unwieldly format of the debate and therefore the need for more direction of discussion on the part of the moderators, and, as I stated previously, I agree that questions regarding the character and past record of the candidates are absolutely appropriate questions, but I disagree that they were appropriate in a debate format.
Those questions, in my opinion, should be asked in an interview or a press conference, not in a debate on the national issues, which is what I, perhaps mistakenly, thought a debate was supposed to be about.
Whether good or bad, the cat IS out of the bag in regard to Mr Trump. If he ultimately implodes, so be it. That is what the primary process and campaign season is for, to weed out the unqualified candidates (at least we hope that’s what happens).
By the way, I always appreciate your thoughtful and well-reasoned arguments, and that you don’t engage in personal attacks. We may not completely agree on this issue, but know that I am with you on the ultimate goal, to turn the country back to constitutional government.
Wise words. Let conservatives unite. The medias have succeeded in dividing our party via casting actions in unfavorable and dishonest light. Too many believe the media, it is a difficult barrier to vault which is exactly what we need to do.
