It is about time the media was told they don’t control the dialog.

Yes! And limited to only those candidates that have over 5% in a legitimate national poll. Hear me? Only over 5% in a legitimate national poll. Time to cut bait. 👹

Stupid move, but predictable.

Less time equals less of a chance for a candidate sitting lower in the polls to break out, but more likely to be excluded altogether.

In other words, they’re chickens.

I thought the debate format from the last 3 hour one was pretty good given the number of people on stage.

Until more people get out, the 2hr format isn’t going to work because the time will end up lopsided and too short.

Anything to stop Cruz I guess. God forbid someone have to answer a question with substance instead of just rhetoric and clever witticisms.

It’s a reasonable request. Those three plus hour talkathons are designed to end up showing the republicans in their worst light. At the end of a Three Hour Tour, nobody looks good. Sweaty dress shirts, rumpled, crooked neckties, shirt tails partially exposed, a facial expression of angry exhaustion and weakness in body posture, just the way the Dems want to see us.

Agree. 3+ is too long. And there shouldn’t be a kiddie’s table debate between Jindal and a potted plant either.

How do I get rid of accidental double postings?
Must I ask the moderator for help every time, or can I delete a double myself?

This is a great idea. It's hard enough to watch most of these clowns for 2 hours, but that is better than 3 tediously boring hours.

Now, if we could completely eliminate all the less-than-1%-ers, and get the media debate moderators to limit their questions to legitimate questions about how the viable candidates are going to deal with the actual problems we now have, or will likely face in the near future in this country, that would be even better.

(Another great idea would be to get Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin to be the debate moderators.)

DT was on Greta tonight. He claimed that the MSNBC had been selling 30/sec ads for $4K...and jacked it up to $200-250K/30 sec spot....and in the process wanted to extend the time to 3 hours, when DT had agreed to 2 hours.

He sounded stern ..."The networks are making a fortune off this stuff," Trump said. "I wonder why."

Watch the Greta interview here:

It is time to limit participation in the next Republican debate to only those candidates that have over 5% in a recent legitimate national poll.

TIME TO CUT BAIT!

Good move. Glad to see the Donald & Carson dictating terms, not the other way around. Go Trump!

He’s too busy booking football stadiums and whatnot for the people who want to see him and hear his message.

Media, you lost your right to ANYTHING after the crap you’ve foisted upon the public.

A very smart common sense move.

The most important part being being their request to speak directly to the camera before and after, instead of having the repulsive, condescending schoolmarm moderators snarking and framing the entire experience for the audience.

Great! Let them sit this one out if they are too weak to put in a 3 hour work day.

Maybe one of the other candidates will exhibit more energy, and we won’t find him/her spending all his/her time on the golf course or flying around on AF1.
