Debates have run their course, it’s time to end all of them, forever. Once upon a time, the debates served to introduce the candidates and their policies to the voters, but they are now just a theater of absurdity led by media agendas.

Bingo. The debates were becoming, frankly, boring.

Now this development, this is anything but boring. In fact it’s very entertaining. Trump has broken the stodgy format of the Presidential primary where candidates prostrate themselves to a yapping left-wing press corp who inevitably ask loaded questions like, “why do you think so many women hate you”. Trump has stood up to the MSM and said this debate and the so-called moderators are B.S.; something I think most Republican voters have known and complained about for years.

***************

Don’t agree with forever as some do help expose the candidates to the public.
But twelve seems to be a money grab of some kind.

Good idea! People are bored with the simplistic Q&A format, which is not really a “debate” at all. It becomes almost like a stand-up comedy contest, but not as funny.
