IT IS TIME TO SHUT THESE DEBATES DOWN

The format sucks.

The moderators are more concerned with fireworks than real substance.

The yelling is worse than a professional wrestling match.

The whole thing is just plain UNDIGNIFIED.

1. I agree, so far what I am seeing is bullshit
 
and not at all helpful to the objective of electing a Democratic president.

6. They are all ""Please attack another Democratic candidate" questions, nothing about policy, its a
 
dog & pony show for network profits.

7. What I hate is how talking heads will spend the next 3 days
 
criticizing the candidates for not discussing things that the moderators did not bring up.

10. They've lost total control of the candidates. It's a side show and a screaming match....
 
Nice to see though that Biden watching it all and then drops zingers. Good for him. And Bloomberg is being civil as well but he knows what he's talking about. Klobuchar is pretty good, too.

Unfortunately I couldn't take any more and went over to Big Bang Theory.

13. I'm not even watching but have felt the same for awhile
 
Substance is out the window. Moderators are pressed for time, and want to score points. The last debate was bickering and squabbling, jabs, and shouting. There is no place to act presidential, or articulate vision. Policies and numbers substitute for vision nowadays.

Is the whole world in a debt for equity swap? Trump and corporations get cash, Putin gets capitalism, dictators get a chastened democracy, and Bernie brings socialism?

14. It's a food fight ....
 
.... gets all their clothes filthy, and they're still not fed!

For dang sure UNDIGNIFIED as you said Stinky; now it feels like mockery of the civic square.

I'm between SMH and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

How many of the Klowns in the Kar demanded questions about policy? Silence gives assent.

Biden has been doing that for a while now, discussing things no one brought up and mostly lying about it.

IT IS TIME TO SHUT THESE DEBATES DOWN

All the candidates are a bunch of ass clowns who couldn't run a circle jerk. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :-) :-) :-) :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

All they are doing is showing the rest of the country what a bunch of pathetic losers we are. :thatsright: :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser:
Life is tough and it’s even tougher when you’re stupid

Basking in the glow of my white Privilege and toxic masculinity while I water the Begonias with liberal tears!

I will give up my guns when the liberals give up their illegal aliens

We need a Bull Shit tax to make the Democrats go broke!

After Biden claimed that half the population of the US has been killed by "gun violence" since 2007, and BloomingIdiot claimed he "bought" a bunch of Dem Congressional seats, I can see why Stinker would want to shut down the debates. Who knows what Pete might pull out of his ... and how Fauxcahontas might go off the reservation at the next Klown Kar Show?!
