Since we're only into the first break in the debate (and I have the luxury of pausing the recording to type), I'll say that I like Dana Perino but this forum is difficult for anyone to moderate. General election debates between two candidates is a very different story.
That said, Perino brings the legacy of Tony Snow to the table since she took over as George W. Bush's Press Secretary after Snow passed away from cancer. She brings real White House knowledge to the discussions on her various panel shows.
Honestly, I don't think anybody can manage a stage of 7 egotistical people all fighting for airtime. I'm struggling to come up with a format that would work, though, without being disrespectful to their stature (like putting them in game-show-like sound booths).

The “manager” is precisely the problem! From set design to selecting a “hot blonde talking head” for the crew to the DEI-effect of the incomprehensible third world “moderator” to the leveling the height of the circus clowns, in our dysfunctional “media as kingmaker” culture, it’s ALL ABOUT THE MANAGER, in this case faux news. The candidates are ridiculous stage props. The people that need the information be damned — their ONLY function in this is to watch Faux News, buy the products advertised thereon, and enrich the leftist children of Rupert Murdoch.
President Donald Trump was SO RIGHT to “just say no” and thereby piss on this embarrassing dysfunction.
Let’s hope the NEXT debate includes only the top 3 (or 2) candidates… no more of this nonsense with the likes of Pence, Christie, Burgham and Scott.
