A very clever method of dumbing down the debates by flooding the primaries with many, many potential candidates while the DNC goes begging for another 1 or 2.

(8,217 posts)1. Probably, just give each candidate 5 minutes each...
To spout off whatever nonsense they want, without interruption.
They get another 3 minutes each without interruption to address whatever each other have said.
Then they get 2 minutes each to give their closing arguments.
They wouldn't have to talk to each other or chide each other, and just get them to go pure soundbyte.

Forgot...
Then, I have no idea. Let them talk over each other and just go at it?
Give one question like:
"What would you do as President?"
Then see what shakes out?

We'll see which one of those GOP idiots really wants it.
