But I'm starting to like Newt's approach. Everyone on the stage needs to follow his lead. Open hostility to idiotic questions...and refuse to take them seriously. When an overwhelming majority of Americans support the death penalty, the way Williams framed the question should have been ridiculed by every one of those candidates. The candidates need to go on the offensive and make the moderators defend the premise of the question, or force them to move on to their next question.
The very premise of some of these questions need to be challenged...by all the candidates.
Declare open warfare on the lib media. They no longer control the message. (Chris Matthews admits SS is a Ponzi scheme.)
I agree with you completely
“If the candidates have another debate run by a liberal I will not watch.”
Which is why I didn’t. I will not increase the audience of PMSNBC, or ABC, CBS, NBC or PBS propaganda services. It’s not news, it’s propaganda.
I don’t mind an adversarial moderator as long as that type of moderating is applied equally in the republican and democrat debates.
Also, the candidates are free to change the subject, refuse to answer, and chew out the moderator.
It’s the candidates’ responsibility to handle themselves well in all encounters with the press. The only situation not in the candidates’ control is a recorded interview that undergoes biased editing before being broadcast.
You don’t want to know.

“Why allow moderators who are the enemy?”
I agree 100%. In fact, I have posted as such on Free Republic before.
I am astounded at who we (the GOP allow) to be the moderators for these debates.
This even extends to general election debates where the moderators are usually those in the MSM. These moderators are about as balanced and unbiased as I am.
When is a GOP candidate gonna stand up and say “I object to the choice of moderator. The person you’ve selected as moderator is anything but unbiased. Is this the best you can come up with?”
I mentioned it before that when debating with a liberal, do not answer the "gotcha" questions. Simply, respond to the question with an answer to the "right" question:
Have you stopped beating your wife, yet? Answer: My wife and I will be better off with Obama out of office.
