Come debate time they will be tearing each other to shreds the when somebody wins the primary he will be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
5 Former Governors, 3 sitting Senators, a Billionaire Businessman and a world class neurosurgeon. Sounds like a well rounded field and healthy competition to me. Open debate is a hallmark of democracy. I look forward to it...I hope the moderators don't throw softballs and that the best person wins.
I look forward to the Democrat party exercising this American tradition too. I wanna see what Bernie has to say and how Hillary responds. Remind me when are those Democrat debates scheduled???

None of that on its own impresses me at all.

I understand that. I'm just pointing out they are for the most part formidable people with at least as much or more experience as our current president when he took office. That's in response to those who are calling the debates a 'clown show'.
It's not like Kim Kardashian or some Reality TV Star is participating. Oh wait a minute. But seriously, there's a reason political debate has such a long and storied history in this country...It weeds out those who are weak in thought.
I wish they'd go to a true Lincoln-Douglass Format for the Presidential Debates. Two opponents ....Toe to Toe. One candidate speaks for 60 minutes. The second goes for 90 minutes. Then the first gets a 30 minute rejoinder.
I agree and have to say I'm a little taken aback by the number of completely closed minds, I mean why watch if your mind is already made up. I mean I fully expect it from the village idiot who plans on sitting around slapping his own head(who, I'm certain is incapable of any type of independent thinking/thought), but some of the others...well, I guess I shouldn't say I'm shocked. Seriously?, having a party with popcorn and everything? Never mind. Again, what's the point if your mind is that closed already.
Even tho there's pretty much 0% chance of me voting for Hillary, I AMlooking forward to hearing everyone, both sides/all sides speak and see how they handle the debates. One person who intrigues me, I guess 'cause I know nothing about but is getting a good bit of press not to mention a respectable following (on a small budget no less) is Bernie Sanders.
I really hope the debate doesn't turn into an out of control yell fest with I could see happening if the mod loses control. I wonder if they have any type of controls if that starts to happen.
MOD: Mr Trump, Gov. Bush and Sen Cruz, that will be a 60 second time out, go stand in the corner..
To each his own I suppose, SIGH...
