I would love to see a presidential debate with two moderators to ask questions. A politically conservative moderator and a liberal moderator. Each moderator will get to ask their opposing candidate the hard all questions for the first half and then the softball questions to the candidate they are more in line with. This would give both candidates a good positive end for their prospective voters while giving the more independent and undecided voters a true hardball question session to help them to decide which candidate they should choose.
I'd like to see fact checkers on duty and the debaters called out immediately when they stray from the facts.
Depends on who are the fact checkers and from which source do they pull their facts from. If all the fact checkers are pulling for the same candidate then they’re going to nitpick everything the opposing candidate says while going easy on the candidate they support.
Another idea is fact checkers from both sides fact check and a follow-up debate is held with each of the two moderators armed with the facts from the previous debate.

I'd like that but instead of a follow up debate, a follow up calling onto the carpet and the lies clearly identified and proven to be lies.
More fun would be a line of opposed backers asking tough questions of the opposed candidate with a $100K bounty on each "team member" that asked the question that got the biggest deer in headlights moment for their team.
