teachercd Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Questions should be random and from "us" You get 90 seconds to respond and then your mic is muted. Moderator doesn't matter at that point. And no promising "longer lunches and no homework" like every middle school election. 1 1 1 Link to comment

MUTE And when they start bloviating about all they accomplished as President or Senator or whatever (when they actually didn’t accomplish anything good) we simply say bulls#!t and mute them. Yes debates would look much different on our watch. 1 Link to comment

And your happy with the moderators just letting the candidates talk all over each other, not answer any questions that are asked and asking questions that are at the bottom end of what’s actually on voters minds according to polls? Hmmmmm. Sorry for having higher standards 3 1 Link to comment

Hmmmmm. Sorry for having higher standards Chris Wallace joined the ranks of Donna Brazile and Candy Crowley. He coached Biden and corrected Trump. He lied when he said his intent was to stay out of the way, and lost his place as an unbiased moderator. It was quite apparent. Wallace never pressed Biden, but threw a boyish tantrum at Trump. And calls himself a moderator. Funny how he joined CNN. Debates do not need a person like him or Crowley every involved. 2 5 1 Link to comment

Hmmmmm. Sorry for having higher standards Truth be told a moderator can only do so much. Its up to the candidates to act respectably up there. They are supposed to be the best of us and lead by example on how to debate issues we disagree on with respect for one another. This has sorely been lacking. You can't hang that on the moderators. 3 1 Link to comment

Someone complaining about the commission allowing candidates to talk over each other is complaining about the wrong people. If Republicans don't like that....hey....don't do it. The problem is, it's been adopted as a debate tactic. Talk over the other person so he/she can't answer a question that could help them gain votes. 2 1 Link to comment

Can you please explain Candy Crowley and Donna Brazile? Can you explain the “real time fact checks” that needed up being wrong in real time? How these issues only seem to go one way, in favor of the Democrat on stage? And you think the other side should just take it and ask can I have another 1 1 2 Link to comment

At least you are admitting the moderators are the same as those refs. Progress in short increments is still progress. Do you think Nebraska should play every game with those same refs? 3 Link to comment
