Per Hillary’s orders. Less chance for her to mess up.

Fifteen minutes probably would be enough. Who wants to listen to a couple of ‘RATS flap their lying lips for three hours?

....Or maybe because it is not looking good for her, did not the FBI get her e-mails?

Guess they figured it would be boring. Just those Dem’s self aggrandizing without any constructive ideas or comments.

fewer canidates
less buzz about the Dem party
not enough ad revenue coming in
All these factors do not a good debate make.
Just saying

It takes ideas and intellect for a debate. Therefore, the dim-bulb-crat debate should last...say, 20 milliseconds or so.

My dream...Cruz debating the Hillabeast. He would eviscorate that dumb broad. (And yes, I mean that insulting language. She is nothing and will forever be nothing.)

To placate the whiny political reporters who cried endlessly about having to sit thru a 3 hours debate last time.

Hillary will probably be a no-show, will call in sick.

My dream...

15 minutes into the debate, the FBI raids the stage and handcuffs the Hillabeast on live TV and reads her rights on live TV.

Only two people going to show up. Joe won’t be there, and the other three announced contenders are - invisible.

And it won’t be a “debate” in the accepted sense, it will be endless softball questions and canned answers by the participants, who will end up with virtually no visible light between their respective positions on ANYTHING.

Fifteen minutes should conclude all the possible information the both of them could provide about anything.

Of course, Bernie could really start “berning” things up in that fifteen minutes. He is a little better at improv.

No lies will be necessary with the liberal softball moderators.

How many debaters will there be? GOP fielded 11, Rats might get 4.

Two hours of listening to Hillary Clinton has to be a violation of the Eighth Amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.

Several rehearsals and they got it down to under two hours.
