The Presidential Debate moderators have not yet been chosen. Therefore my question is who should NOT be a debate moderator? Not just somebody who has some bias but someone who under NO CONDITION should be allowed to moderate any of the debates.
I'll lead off by naming two:
1. Shepard Smith---Not after what he said about Trump "trading in racism" this week.
2. John Harwood of CNBC---Not after he completely disgraced himself at the GOP debates last year.
Chelsea Clinton, Roger Clinton, andyone named CLinton, Cher, Huma Wiener, any muslim...
The clocks of both participants should be visible to everyone - and there should be no restrictions on visual aids - other than that both sides should disclose the visual aids they plan to use long enough in advance that each knows how to challenge the other.
No restriction on taking notes, using a laptop, using a prop . . . anything except a teleprompter. All the visual aids should be online and accessible to us a priori.
Okay! The only two people that I think should be a moderator are Lou Dobbs and Laura Ingraham for the first debate.
Second: Ann Coulter and Judge Jenine... :)
Rosie O’Donnell, just because...
Don’t slight Sean Hannity!
Anderson Cooper, Don Lemmon, Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough, Jake Tapper, Chris Dickerson, George Steph., Megyn Kelly...
Basically anyone who was tainted by the DNC scandal. Anyone who has a family member in the Obama Administration. Anyone who was a member of Bill Clinton’s White House. Anyone who was a part of Obama’s White House.
Personally, screw the whole lot of them. They are 85% Democrats.
BUMP!
THAT’S WHAT A DEBATE IS SUPPOSED TO BE !!!!!!
Rush, Sean and Mark...
I'd pay to see Mark tell Ms Stein or Johnson or HillLIARy to 'GET OFF THE STAGE YOU DOPE!'
A much shorter question would be who should be one.
and have it pay per view... Ann against Ms. Bill...great moneymaker...
Okay. The Left can call in pre-screened questions to Hillary and the Right can call in pre-screened questions to TRUMP.
Both comments may respond to their own callers and the other candidate may rebut that response.
When one candidate rebuts, the opposing candidate may have the last word.
The “last word” advantage to the candidates alternates with each caller, from the Left or from the Right, as the two sides rotate the calls.
The networks are in it to enrich themselves and for star making, but not for informing a nation fairly.
Only one: Monica Lewinski
I don’t want to spend the time or bore others because my list would be so long.
To shorten it a bit... NO Talking Heads and no Uniparty backers.
Lou Dobbs-—he would be GREAT
The obvious.. George Staphylococcus...
Candy Crowley
Anyone from CNN
Trump’s team should insist that the only questions allowed are pre-screened by both candidates, and in order, so that his team can follow whether the moderators are trying to cornhole him. These questions should be in writing with copies to the candidates with the written agreement that there will be no deviation.
Something like candidates’ oaths to support the eventual GOP nominee ......
From past practice, talk shows, etc. the chances are good the Beast is getting a comprehensive preview anyway; that is, the only thing she’s worried about is getting blistered by The Donald.
Oh yeah, and whether she can stay continent. And not have a fit on stage. So she needs an edge.
Otherwise Hillary will get her usual softballs while Trump will be asked to explain things like, gee, I dunno: “What is Dark Matter?” and “Why there are monkeys if man descended from apes?”
“Ah! But you’re being paranoid, td.” You think so?
You “This isn’t the hill to die on, you wacky Birthers.” folks?
`Go with the flow, it’s the system’ is usually what is said—even here—just before the `rats and their MSM (hint: the moderators are usually `journalists’) pull the football away from the GOP’s poor Charlie Brown... and this time we’re facing the Republicans against Trump (RATs) as well. Trust, but verify right?
If Trump doesn’t have to worry about `Gotcha!’ questions, then who cares? They can use as moderators Andrea “Hatchetface” Mitchell & Shemp”Mascara Boy” Sheepherder. And they can and dig up Helen Thomas if they want.
But if and when during the debate they start playing their usual reindeer games, then Trump does a stutter step, checks his crew and gets the `high sign’?
Then he calls B.S. out loud, explains to America that another agreement is being broken by his opponents, and he talks about whatever he wants to talk about for his allotted time on that particular gotcha. Later he can point out the specific breach of express agreement.
Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan, Juan McCain, Linda, Juan Williams, MeAgain Kelly...
Defeatist much?
Vote Trump 2016
