Trump should have done a better job to get better moderators, that’s been my biggest disappointment with him this campaign.
She just did a question that only Kaine was allowed to answer! And then he was given this next one too!
GOPe had your best interests at heart.
We love Trump bacause he’s NOT a politician, but he is getting a political boot camp with these moderators, media, election fraud, etc...
I hope he learns enough in time.
It was out of hands, this was cooked by the RNC months ago.
That’s the RNC’s job not the candidate. Yeah, they need to negotiate better terms or frankly atop debating all together.

Does the participants have any say in the format or mods?
The Commission on Presidential Debates: An Overview
How are the Debate Moderators Chosen? The moderators are selected by the CPD. The CPD uses three criteria to select its moderators: a) familiarity with the candidates and the major issues of the presidential campaign; b) extensive experience in live television broadcast news; and c) an understanding that the debate should focus maximum time and attention on the candidates and their views. The moderators alone select the questions to be asked, which are not known to the CPD or to the candidates. They do not meet with the campaigns, nor do the campaigns have a role in moderator selection. Starting in 1996, the CPD has used a single moderator for all of its debates in order to keep the focus on the candidates and their positions. end snip
