Radditz will be the darling of the DC cocktail parties tonight with all of the high fives.
You bet.It has been asked before. Why the hell does the GOP stand for liberals always being the moderators of these debates.
Because they want the TV time one-on-one, and this is the best deal they can get in negotiating with the Democrats and wire service journalism. Until and unless the Congress passes a law revoking the FCC license of any TV station which doesn’t broadcast debates, Republicans will be in the “If you want it bad, you’ll get it bad” mode.Having any moderator at all, be he never so neutral, is objectionable because the moderator is “positioned” above the future POTUS and his competitor. There should be debates, and they should be moderated only by a chess timer controlling the microphone being broadcast.The participants in the debate should be in separate venues so that there is no question of anyone talking over anyone else, and no question of anyone hogging the microphone. If it’s a 90 minute broadcast, when you burn up your 45 minutes you have to shut up.
But that’s a pipe dream until a Republican administration and and a Republican Congress grow up and stand on their hind legs.
