This format is ridiculous. There's a much better way to vet the candidates

The debate format is ridiculous. What matters most is nominating someone who can go toe-to-toe with Trump.

Instead of two nights of 10 candidates talking to each other, which only shows how good they aren't arguing with normal human beings, we should have a series of 20 different debates, maybe 30 minutes each, with each candidate going one-on-one against Dennis Miller, who's about the most Trump like entertainer out there--and who frankly needs the gig.

So then, whoever gets in the best zingers, perhaps as judged by an applause-o-meter... that's who we nominate.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Can you think of anyone else who gives off that smarmy Trump vibe?
