akindheart Hopefully the rules also also shut off the moderators' mic once the question is asked, and the candidate has exclusive use of the time for the answer.
I personally don't like these debates. We're trying to pick a president, not a talk show host. The CEOs of CBS, ABC, etc. aren't selected on their performances in stand-up debates, they are selected because the stockholders thing they can best run a TV network. We are the stockholder of the USA, and we are trying to pick someone we think can best run the executive part of federal government.
Oh ... and I think all 3 should have the questions beforehand, so they can take their time to put forth their best answers. These debates are too much like a quick-draw contest where loaded questions are designed by biased moderators in hope that the candidate they don't like will shoot him/her-self in the foot.
