    Kristen Welker should not host Thursday's Presidential debate

    A blatantly biased opinion commentator with an axe to grind.

    I fail to see the relevance of stroking the ego of any moderator's implicit bias. Presidential Commission of Debates, can in one day, let both candidates pick 3 topics of their choosing, to discuss. Then let the candidates talk back and forth for 15 minutes on each topic, uninterrupted.

    Perpetuating the notion that we have to have a Candy Crowley as a moderator siding with one candidate versus another is like the perpetuation the idea that the dinosaur is not yet extinct. 3 to 4 topics from each side, that's 6 to 8 topics in total. Make the damn debate 3 hours long and up it to 12 to 16 topics.

    This bullcrap of letting one dipstick partisan hack control the discussion is BS. Nobody learns anything with this condescending circus format.

    Most Americans are not stupid. They see the biased moderators and get turned off by the hard left.

    Kristen Welker is an esteemed journalist. She should not be pushed out as moderator of the third and final debate because Trump claims she is a "radical Democrat." Trump is immature who also claimed Fox News anchor Chris Wallace would treat him unfairly.

    So, Kristen Welker is a terribly biased journalist? Really?

    When even the president’s own campaign manager Jason Miller told Fox News that he has “a very high opinion” of her and thinks “she’s going to do an excellent job as the moderator for the third debate. I think she’s a journalist who’s very fair in her approach and I think that she’ll be a very good choice for this third debate."

    Trump thinks all women are idiots unless they are serving him.

    It's very rare for any candidate to actually answer the questions. trump would back out of the debate in the 11th hour, citing the mute button...but he needs this debate desperately.

    Biden doesn't. trump doesn't do very well in debates.

    Trump does pretty well considering the moderation and their attacks.

    trump's base believes that grandstanding and lying is 'doing pretty well'. The debate is meant to attract voters who wouldn't otherwise be in your camp. trump never focuses on anyone that isn't his base.
