I like your second part regarding presentations. Of course, this would require candidates to be serious and have actual platforms instead of throwing out glorified Tweets.
Yep. It was a series of soundbites. And you really can't blame the candidates too much because there simply is no time for anything more with so many on the stage, such a short format and so many commercials. I have to hand it to Trump and Carson for whittling the time down to a mere two hours. They made sure they didn't have to actually say anything that might cause their numbers to go down.

Can't think of a single breakout moment and or candidate. It was a waste of time.

Poor deduction skills there.

That's the thing about debates, they are great for people like me who do not follow politics on a daily basis!

Still waiting for that source.....

You might also consider that particular mods, like myself, was not keeping up with "debate negotiations." Again, their areas of expertise is more the state of the markets and economy which was supposed to be the purpose of this debate.

I agree 100%.

Unfortunately it was basically his only "score".

I like the guy, but he is a guy that needs more than 1 minute per issue, because solutions aren't easily communicated in sound bytes.

It's good for the left to watch because you know some will eventually wake up. Just like pancakes they will flip when their eyes are opened.
