CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and Fox News host Megyn Kelly are voters’ top choices to moderate the upcoming presidential debates, according to a poll released Monday.

Mr. Cooper was the top choice for 34 percent of registered voters, followed by Ms. Kelly at 25 percent and Fox News anchor Chris Wallace at 22 percent, according to the Morning Consult poll.

Both are crappy choices! No audiences either!!!

[mass55th]

Beavis and Butthead would be a better choice than those two.
Better yet, Penn & Teller.

Anderson (tea bagger) Cooper OK. He thought the term was acceptable.

[castlegreyskull]

I think I would like Greta. I don’t think she would attempt gotcha questions, or conspire with either of the candidates like Candy fat-ass did.

[dragnet2]

There ya go.

Using the lying biased media to moderate the political debates is like walking into court of bogus charges and seeing the prosecutors wife sitting on the bench.

[Ray76]

Those two make me puke

[DefeatCorruption]

I simply cannot imagine a WORST LIST. EVER!!!

[maddog55]

Wouldn’t be fair having two women moderators.

[Leep]

Pooper probably polled himself. Then him and his boyfriend poled each other.

[Essie]

Cooper only got 34% and Kelly 25%. There are no real favorites.

[Leep]

Otherwise, doesn’t Sarah Palin have a journalism background?

[HombreSecreto]

I’ll pass on Levin (too anti-Trump for my tastes, which is a darn shame).

But how about Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage and Rush?

[pfflier]

How about they pick some “nobodies” so the debates can be about the candidates and their positions instead of moderator cameos?

[nfldgirl]

Kelly? Disgusting! NO WAY!

[xzins]

The ideal moderator is not in the news, media, or entertainment business in any manner.

I’d like it to be Alex Trebek with a Big Board with Questions on it.

“I’ll take Defense for 1000, Alex!”

“Iran is rushing toward development of a nuclear weapon. What is your approach to that concern?”

“What is...’til they glow’ Alex.”

[americas.best.days...]

NO. NO. NO.

Why does it always have to be the same jerks with their pre loaded biases.

Questions on a screen. Five minutes to respond. Two minutes for rebuttal.

Or someone like Brian Lamb from cspan.

[b4its2late]

They both suck (probably in more ways than one, but that’s just a sidebar).

[Tax-chick]

Lousy choices. They should get a good interviewer, like Shannon Vickery at UNC-TV.

But how about Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage and Rush?

I'd go for Laura Ingraham and Mark Steyn.

[Major Matt Mason]

If we are stuck with choosing from the lamestream media, I think my choices would be Bret Baier and ...? I can't really think of any other person I would remotely trust, and even with Baier, I'm not 100% in his camp. The network and cable news offering have truly become a pathetic joke.
