For the townhall debate,

let's make the people who ask questions look like America. Lets have questions from people of all race, all sexual orientations, and all ages. Let's have some women who don't look at all like Fox News readers and men in work-faded blue jeans who have brown skin. Let's have them ask questions that require a little thought to answer. Questions about situations Trump has never faced. Let's have the mother of a black child who was shot by the police. Let's have someone whose business failed because some rich client stiffed him.

Let's have people with disabilities, people who don't meet typical standards of appearance, and people with questions Trump usually skips over.

Let's make the townhall look like America. Let's put Trump in unfamiliar territory and give him question about things he knows nothing about.

That's what should happen, IMO/

Let's not moderate or pre qualify the questions.

Let's get real questions with real answers.

but I live in Pennsylvania and the debate is in St. Louis, MO. No money for a plane ticket.

But I do have the weight requirement to embarrass him regarding fat shaming, something for which he needs to be taken to task.
