Debates should have PANELS. Not a sole moderator.

These debates are a joke. Control never should have been taken by this commission. The are designed and executed to serve the interests of the candidates exclusively. Not the interest of the voters. If it was you'd have a variety of journalists expert in different aspects of public policy and from varied political perspectives. Not some corporate stooge angling for news media stardom who isn't expert in anything beyond reading teleprompters.

So...troll or not...I think you made a good point so I give you a K&R.

Serious public policy experts are not going to waste their limited time asking BS questions like how your faith or manhood affects your public policy decisions.
