Limbaugh said it would make sense that Trump would challenge the debate format.
"I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Donald Trump's objective is to blow up this whole format," he said. "Because it's predictable. It's stale…. I think at some point, Trump's gonna say how stupid he thinks this is and how unproductive he thinks this is and how basically what a waste of time."
Limbaugh concedes the high-flying real estate billionaire probably won't use those words, "because he's there."
"But he'll talk about how it's not productive toward choosing a candidate, that it just muddies the waters, and it doesn't give anybody enough time to do anything, and there's no way that all 10 people can personally interact with each other," he said.
Fox News moderators of the debate will try to "get good publicity when it's over by credit for asking the right questions or policing the thing well," he pointed out.
"I wouldn't be surprised if Trump … at some point, maybe after he thinks he's scored a big point… would basically start lambasting the whole format and say, 'You know what? This is what is wrong with choosing a president. What does this got to do with anything? We're all up here, and everybody knows that nine out of 10 of these people, eight out of these, are not going anywhere. What are we doing here? This is crazy. All we're gonna do for two or three hours here is tell everybody how rotten each other is? … What are we wasting our time for? Making TV ratings for?' "

Trump should just say “ Not enough time, can’t answer that, send me a memo” with every question.
I disagree. Of all the blondes on cable news, it is Dana Perino who would make the best female POTUS.
Agreed.
Yes IMO sadly Donald Trump has made us all look at these other candidates in the light of day and none of them is really up to the monumental task of saving this country. Or even close. I don’t that they even want to.
Pretty much your list is my list. My numero uno is EPA followed by Education and then on down the line.
If you listen to these candidates most of them cannot wait to tell you how they would cut SS and Medicare and raise the retirement age but God forbid they could shut down any of the huge bureaucracy which is most of our problem anyway.
I can only figure that YOU ASSUMED I was in favor of softball questions from conservative questioners. That's ridiculous. Fact remains, that a question from the right elicits the opposite type reaction than one from the left.....if we argue from the leftist template, we're never going to win. We must argue from the right.
You figured wrong.
well good, because I was not advocating soft at all....I just want right handed pitchers in our debates, not lefties....
I think 10 people trying to debate is nuts. Ask a question and go down the line giving each candidate 30 seconds no more to answer. Cover as many issues as you can so people can see how they differ.
