Well, if you don’t have the ba**s to Debate with Donald Trump being Moderator, are you gonna have the ba**s to Debate with Barack Obama being your opponent? I don’t think so. Paul is a nut, Romney is a wuss and Huntsman is a whiner.
Who cares?
We are going to listen to winkin’ blinkin’ and nod. We can listen to the different ways in which the candidates will say things so that they are not disclosed to be progressives, so that we will feel comfortable in our blindness.
There are no choices now, except how fast we head over the cliff.
The election will be exciting, after which, the government will grow, and we will pay, and it will be someone else’s fault.
No one is even discussing the reduction in the size of government...only vague policy plans to balance the income with the spending.
A pox on them all. I feel for my children.
For those who claim Trump is using this for publicity for himself only, they’re doing a great job of giving it more attention than any previous debate (all of which but 2 have been horrendous wastes of time, moderated by lefties). I vote NO.

This is the only debate where the moderator will get more time than the candidates combined!
Freeped and voted YES
Trump plans on opening up the subject of Obama’s eligibility to be President.
How nice of you to be a useful tool of this administration.
Hyping his book and Season 12 and giving some time to the candidates, at least the ones that decide to show up.
Wonder if he will announce his third party run during the show.
Thanks Yosemitest.
>> Freeped and voted YES
You prefer debates moderated by Obama’s allies?
Wow! These guys really are in the tank for Romney. Voted no. Romney is a coward.
Voted NO.
Trump will attract viewers to this debate, and regardless of what people think of him, he’s automatically a vast improvement over Scott Pelley.
LOL. You got that right.
Cannot believe the fall out over this. Worse if not as amusing was hearing Chrissie Matthew railing against Trump. . .as IF, Matthew himself; was seriously respectable. . .Not enough room on the planet for Liberal arrogance.
This may also be the only debate where conservatives on the candidate panel are in the majority.
Of course, that would work!

I voted NO also.
National Review has jumped the shark on this one. A debate moderated by Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos is just fine for conservatives to attend and watch, but one hosted by Trump is bad?
Oh, right, forgot, it’s easy for Romney to polish up for that debate, because odds are they know what questions will be asked, or at the very least, what topics might be covered. Whereas the National Review is likely paranoid that Trump might make the debate about how to defeat Obama, or about all the idiotic policies in Washington, or .. could it be possible, perhaps even ask questions to candidates whom don’t know the answers?
I’ll have to hook up the old TV and pull out a converter box and watch it.
