Why should Romney even participate in these ‘debates’? I do really look forward to Paul Ryan mopping the floor with Biden.

My theory is Joe will never be in a debate because he will be replaced “to spend more time with his family”

Hillary is on a whirlwind round-the-world photo op tour ... pictures with Nelson Mandela etc... farewell to politics ... or campaign fodder?

The current debate set-up allows for “no one the mop the floor” against the opposing opponent. The moderator can shut down any rational point then begin to editorialize and filibuster the event.

We need debates where candidates can talk for long periods of time about a given subject and be only interrupted if they stray off the topic. Also, the candidate themselves should only ask the questions, not an arrogant news reader/partisan pundit (Even though moderators might not think they are).

He shouldn't participate.

If FOX put on a debate with Hannity, Coulter, and Limbaugh as moderators - does anyone think Obama would show up? Our guys needs to get real - the press works for Democrats - they get 'paid' with inside stories and people of interest to interview. When the coin of the realm is information - it's a bribe...

A lot depends on the questions they are asked. And with the moderator chosen, it will probably go something like this:

For Mr. Biden: You obviously have all the qualities to be the perfect vice-president. Please tell us which of those qualities is lacking in your opponent.

For Mr. Ryan: When did you first decide to destroy social security?

Well, it won't be the first debate Romney turned down. He turned down his friend Trump's invitation with NEWT!!

Paul Ryan mopping the floor with Biden.

Biden goes on a drinking binge before he mop down!

There will be no debates. The liberal moderators will softball the questions, and they will recite their talking points.
