Stupid debate on a stupid network allowed by stupid idiots at the RNC.

The RNC should just hold their own debates, and live-stream them.

I made a proposal here:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3349140/posts?page=19#19

The debates are a farce, anyway. It's nothing but a series of rehearsed statements.

My suggestion:

Note: there's no moderator. The questions are recorded in advance, and all it takes is a technician to press the appropriate button.

The questions are submitted by the candidate. They are free to submit any policy questions they want to be asked (and presumably want to answer). However, you can't ask another candidate a direct question.

The questions are then chosen at random. To prevent abuse, the list of questions and their origin (which candidate submitted it) will be published after the debate. An accounting firm will be hired to select the questions at random from something like a bingo drum, and a technician simply plays the question identified by that number.

kidd subsequently suggested that each candidate should submit a single question on a pre-announced set of topics, and then during the debate one candidate's question would be chosen at random for each topic. I actually like that idea better than mine.
