The network and cable news offering have truly become a pathetic joke.

Yup

noooooooooooo! Is there no one in this entire industry that can do this other than these two?? Why can’t they pick someone no one ever heard of? Never mind, I know. They can’t crown an unknown with the **star** crown.

What jerk voters chose MK?? Ones who prefer to see personality clashes rather than what the purpose of the debate actually is?

And who the heck lets ‘’voters’’ choose the moderators? MK is simply out for herself and getting the attention focused on her. The debates at this stage are too important for that!!!

At least, he is rational and professional.
He was reasonable conducting his interview with Trump last Thursday.
Plus, even Trump admitted that Melania watches AC 360 and likes Cooper’s work.

I hope Trump and Rinse and Repeat show a spine on picking moderators. At best they might get one neutral moderator, at the very worst Trump will go up against the Hag and all the moderators. Choose wisely Trump!

Negative. Levin would be actively campaigning for Cruz during the debate. TV is the last place he belongs. Rush might be okay unless gets star struck.

“I suggest Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin. “

I’ll take those two over Cooper and Kelley any day of the week.

Why do these people running these debates continue to insist on using biased left wing media personalities.?

It’s time that that is stopped and stopped now.

Either no moderator (preferred) or someone good from C-SPAN.

No Megyn, Anderson, Gwen Ifill, Candy Crowley and anyone from that ilk.

Two idiots. Most important debate in my lifetime and these two will be asking the questions. Kelly’s first question: Mr. Trump, when are you going to release your tax return? What are you hiding? Cooper’s first question: Mrs. Clinton, your pantsuits are beautiful. Tell everyone the location of the Walmart where you buy them.

Hell no! Greta should be considered as one of the moderators. Kelley shouldn’t even be considered to moderate a pile of dog crap much less a Presidental debate!

I suspect Megyn Kelly is a non-starter with the Trump Campaign.

Mark Levin - rabid Mr. Trump Hater? Has he changed his tune lately? No Way. Rush is a non-starter with Hillary .... she’d probably have his plane shot down taking off/landing on the way to the debates (some of those MANPADS missing from Libya /sarc).

As for Anderson Cooper .... I don’t think the “media” of any stripe should be moderating the debates - too biased one way or the other.

Surely there are people in this country who are not the “enemedia” and who could do a passable job representing the interests of the American People with their questions & behavior at a Trump/Clinton debate.

Kelly would be a good choice.

Think about it, a known threat, etc.

Hillary won’t tolerate a Limbaugh or Levin. They know too much.

The U.S. main stream media has zero business moderating political debates.

Clue....it's a TELEVISION SHOW!!!!!

Presidential "debates" are wholly a construct of television. There NEVER was a Presidential "debate" before television. The first Presidential "debate" was in 1960
