Bipartisan Group Urges Overhaul of General Election Debates

8. I prefer a simpler approach to having more debates each debate focusing on specific

critical issues: environment, economics, etc.

Including third party candidates

Having moderators from independent media outlets

To me the above approach is making the system more complex w/o offering any improvement in having the moderators ask substantive questions....For example, what does it mean by 'expanding and enriching the debate content'? The debates are to be faulted not because they are not expansive but because they are too expansive as they stand.

What does it mean by embracing social media platforms - we tried that with Diane Rehm's infamous list of legislators who had dual citizenship....

I don't see that the above is any form of improvement.
