I take back my praise for these moderators

We want to listen to the candidates, not the moderators going "your time is up, your time is up, your time is up" after 30 seconds when the candidates are just getting into their answer or having some interaction. They're not giving the candidates time to speak in sentences. Bernie wasn't given enough time to respond to the revolving door between Wall Street and government because by the time he responded briefly to Hillary's smear on how he criticizes Bill Clinton and Obama but not George W. Bush, his time was up.
