I’d have to say the hag. Sooper Dooper Pooper Cooper was surprisingly restrained. He must have left his cheerleader outfit at the cleaners.
They weren’t moderators. They were participants.
Radish was worse, but they both kept telling off the contestants AND the audience.
Where is Bob Barker when you need him?

Debate? What debate? I saw a lousy parody of a debate. High school debates are more balanced and professional. It was an unfair setup from the beginning. The “moderators” are all Liberal partisan hacks setting up a propaganda crossfire of “gotcha” questions designed to tear down their victim. Time limits were unfairly managed. The “moderators” are also backed up in real time by a second rank of “fact checkers”. What individual candidate standing in a podium by himself has a fair chance of debate? After the debate is over, spin doctors tell us what we saw. It looks more like a public stoning than a debate.
Both candidates were a disappointment. Lots of name calling, smirking, mud slinging, accusations and lies. Very little substance and details. Not much time for that, and anyway most voters are not that sophisticated or have the attention span to absorb details. Questions from audience were brainless.
All Trump needed was to explain to the undecided voters that this election is a night-and-day choice between two opposed political philosophies and highlight a few major contrasting points about one.
Partisan views are likely unchanged. The undecided voters saw nothing new, nothing intelligent, nothing but political theater, to help them out - but they are probably a lost cause anyway. Modern advertising ought to be proof of that.
Was that sexist?
Raddatz for sure. Cooper got all the straight man lines in whatever script they had worked out with the HRC camp, with Ugly Martha playing advocate.
Martha was worse, she and Hillary were both debating Trump - both lost.
Several times Hillary tried to bring Trump down but with subject matter that only would have opened another door for Trump to come in and hammer her. I can’t recall the specific incidents but every time Martha jumped on Hillary and changed the subject so Hillary wouldn’t trip on her own feet.
If she had to stand alone with no outside help she wouldn’t have lasted five minutes.
