While perhaps somewhat helpful (you see the candidates with each other and how they react or not with each other) this is the wrong format to really find out what the candidates think and will do - with specifics.

A real debate formate would throw out a problem or policy and then let the candidates talk about how they would address or deal with the issue. Perhaps have a time for follow-up - more like the first Obama/Romney debate (and “yes” I know there were only two people in that debate).

I am so hoping Cruz gets a chance to shine in the months ahead!

In the end, it’s all talk. Mind numbing.

He needs jackets with shorter sleeves and shirts with longer sleeves. Just MHO.

You mean, a real debate consists of give and take on current political issues. both global and domestic? Not three hours of, "Candidate X, Mr. Trump said something mean about you last month. Would you care to comment?"
