The Second Presidential Debate Will Try Something New [View all]

"Viewers unhappy with the questions asked at Monday night’s debate will have a shot to weigh in before Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton meet again on October 9: For the first time, the networks producing the town-hall style debate have agreed to accept questions voted on through the internet."

Opening up questions to the internet is kind of like throwing an all-you-can eat buffet for a hungry pack of bears.
