Wouldn't it be great if DWS decided CNBC would be a great moderator for one of our debates?

It would show the public how a real debate is conducted and let the moderators do their thing. How bad could it be?

I know that it's a town hall rather than a debate but it will still be much better than the CNBC food fight debate.

in the original meaning of the term, since the invention of television. What today is euphemistically called, a "debate", is just a glorified press conference. A real traditional debate would entail each candidate laying out their positions and allowing them to interact with and question each other. "Moderators" should be irrelevant to the process.
