New debate rules I'd like to see.

[donttread]

1) All parties are allowed in , or at least the top 6-8.
2) The moderator is required to ask each candiate how they would pay for each program, wall , war or tax cut they promise or propose .
3) A statistician back stage crunching numbers and then the moderator confronting the candidate with the fact that their plan to finance the program cannot possibly work

What we have now is a debate where two sides of the same coin lie their assess off. "I Donttread" promise a chicken in every pot, a wall between America and Canada, to rescue all shelter dogs and cats, cut taxes in half , bring NK to it's knees, quadruple manufacuring jobs on my second day in office, end all threat of terrorism any where on the planet and provide free porn channels on basic cable. "That's about as meaningful as these so called debates currently are.

The hard left would never agree to it. They demand increasing the power of the State.

Lmao! NO party would agree to it.

Jesus Pete, you're turning into a total hack.

Not true. I hack for no party. Both are two sides of the same coin. And the typical voter picks D or R without a clue that the goal is the same for both parties.

Only as Hillary's polling numbers tanked.

Yea you been trying to convince us and yourself of that for a while now but that isn't what your actions show.

:smiley:You need bedrest and meds.

[Peter1469]

You need bedrest and meds.


Untrue. But thanks for the heart felt advice. You are a good buddy.

Pete is on the Crazy Train, but does not know it!

He moves further right every day, I have noticed.

And of course you are completely open minded and totally non partisan with absolutely no agenda but the truth.

I would not have the moderator ask the question regarding the impossibility of paying for their lunacy. I would hope the opposition would be quick to point that out if the question were asked. I don't think the moderator should interject himself into the fray in any manner beyond asking the question and keeping the answer close to the topic.

You may be closer to free porn than you think. I have all but quit watching TV because it has become so immoral.

Of course!


NOT! lol.

Nobody is! What does that have to do with what I said?

R = zero government
L = total government

You are a lifelong Republican.

Zero Government? Are you an ANARCHIST? WTF?

[Mini Me]

Peter, let me ask you; Why do you keep thanking me when I disagree with you?

I find that quite amusing, and odd!

I don't have to agree with you to respect you.

[Peter1469]

Zero Government? Are you an ANARCHIST? WTF?

I am not on the hard right.

At the far right you have anarchy. Add government as you move left until you have total government.

[Tahuyaman]

Peter, you have become a total joke and troll.


That's ironic.....

That's ironic.....

It's also true.

Facts at a Donald Trump Debate? :laugh:

[Adelaide]

The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) claims to be nonpartisan, yet takes financial contributions from the two major parties and is run by former leaders of the two major parties. The CPD needs to be taken out in favor of an actual nonpartisan organization.

By the standards of today, Lincoln wouldn't be included in the debates because he wasn't on the ballot in 7 states (think it was 7).

Any presidential candidate from any party should be allowed into the debate if they get on the ballot in 75%-100% of states and/or poll nationally at 5% or higher. It's impossible for third parties and independents to get the public/media exposure to become popular unless they participate in the debates. But the CPD learned a lesson when they allowed Ross Perot into the debate and they weren't about to let that happen again.

Lincoln never participated in a presidential debate.

The parties do not fund the debate commission.

It's also true.

You claim that he's become a joke. You always have been a joke.
