Oh, that would solve any chance of corruption. 
A one term legend in his own mind.

Right now it’s a privately run wealthy affair. How would you make it any different without the government getting involved?
It’s literally the pinnacle of GOP ideals. No government involvement in the process.

You have realized by now that only rich people can become the President, right? Why not just have the candidates pay for their own air time?

How do you make the candidates spend their own money when other rich people are willing to spend their money on the same thing? No one is making anyone do anything here other than traditions from the 80s.
He’s already a legend to his cult. Is he going to become more legendy?
I don’t think he’s expanding his voter-base here.

Didn’t take you guys long to excuse everything Biden did and blame it all on Trump.

Trump doesn’t have a history of doing this in debates??? Why have no other presidential debates melted down like this?
They should include Kanye in the next one.
He could add some sanity and decorum.

They both put it there. Genius move by Biden’s handlers to come out first, blaming Trump, though. As if he hadn’t done his part.
You guys? Did you not read my response.
Both sides need to clean up their act.

Why ? Again, what’s wrong with my idea three way agreement between the networking hosting the debate and two campaigns ?
There’s nothing wrong with your idea. I would prefer a debate on who should run a government be conducted by the government. It would create clear cut rules and allow multiple more parties to be involved because the government can’t violate the first amendment.
You obviously prefer not to have any organization involved. Which is another way to do it, too.

Is it okay to use the word cult now?

Here’s my prediction. They submit a change to allow the cutting off the mic of either candidate if they start interrupting…the Biden campaign agrees, the trump camp does NOT agree and uses it as an excuse to ditch the last two debates.

Whatever happened to the League of Women Voters? They used to run the debates.
I called it a couple of days before the debate to the question: “How many debates will Biden attend?”
My answer: 1
Trump will do so poorly in the debates that he will back out of the other 2 resulting in only 1 debate being held.

Yes, I saw that…and I believe this “cut mic” issue will be trump’s excuse to back out…and cry victim.
They are still around, but they stopped the debates in 1988 because of collusion between the two major candidates.
