Trump and Hillary can agree on at least one thing. If they're going to debate Sanders, they might as well debate Kim Kardashian since she's equally relevant to the campaign at this point.

And the 2008 debates were not buried by someone like DWS either. This is an utter disaster no matter who the nominee is--the debates were mostly about issues instead of prickmeasuring. Too bad the general public was not able to compare and contrast.
