[Still Thinking]

I never really have understood why Republicans put up with the moderator choices. During the debates for the general, the choices should at least be neutral, and in the Republican primaries, when everyone watching is to the right of the LSM, they should be downright conservative. I can’t see why Republicans think they have to accept whatever agenda-driven socialist is offered up, certainly in the general but especially in the primaries.

The answer is actually fairly simple. Democrats will not agree to these debates unless everything possible, especially the moderators, are stacked in their favor.

And Hofstra University, located in the "swing state" of New York being a hosting site for two consecutive election cycles? Why?

Republicans, especially Republican challengers, have no chance of reaching low information voters who only watch MSM outlets, in any other way. A Republican has to have the skill set to get through this bullsh*t smokescreen and reach these voters directly. Ronald Reagan definitely had that skill set. Mitt Romney? We shall see.

But he only begin to make this a real horserace after the first debate.
