Can we please, please, PLEASE settle the damn Mehhicccan ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION QUESTION FIRST???
As in “FIRST OF ALL BEFORE SELECTING A CANDIDATE.”
Too much ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION means the end of the country, so everything else is moot.
Candidates don’t want debates, they want grandstanding. If there was a debate channel only the total wingnuts would appear.
WE need a series of Internet Debates— I suggest a two bracket— 1 on 1 double elimination like ncaa uses in baseball. Names are matched by drawing. Vegas will go wild. The American people get to see the new President!!. Hillary is finished!! We need live streaming and play back on archive!! Advertising is welcome!! This is the greatest idea I have ever had!! Awesome!!!
Because its proven to be effective in perpetuating the power of the GOP.
Think beyond the debatse. I suggested seven years ago that some of those who have become wealthy talking about conservatism should start educating new potential conservative voters. Where is “The Conservative Channel”? Limbaugh’s audience isn’t growing and he doesn’t like TV. Hannity is a bore who isn’t changing hearts and minds. It is a huge missed opportunity.
The way Huckabee interviewed one candidate at a time elicited better information from the candidates than do the network debates.
The networks like the current debate method because they are in control — of the participants, of the moderators, of the questions, etc.
A well-organized Internet method could be possible through streaming services. ROKU and similar devices are already bypassing and supplementing network/cable TV. It takes technical knowledge but it is doable.
Does anyone else think that a requirement to debate in a manner accessible to most Americans should be a requirement for anyone running for the position of President?
Politicians will not embrace a format with “no grandstanding.” Author must be slow on the take!
