Tell me again why FOX isn't allowed to moderate a debate?

[TheDoctorIsIn]

You’re missing the point. Think about the target audience for the primary debates.

It’s not about overall ratings.

@TheDoctorIsIn

See, that’s the point. The target audience of the primary debates is Democrats - not everyone.

The debates are mostly just free ad time for all candidates. The DNC is going to go with the channels that are most likely to get the most Democratic viewers.

Fair assessment.

Fox should host a debate during the general election and so should MSNBC.

I however have a feeling that Trump won’t debate. He may not want to place himself in a position where he doesn’t completely control the discussion.

Why should he?

To remind people of who he is and what he stands for. He should be willing to defend his positions and to show why he is the better choice.

He’s trying to win, not lose.

Well said. When you’re right you are right.

If I was making a bet, it would be that more Democrats and independents watch Fox than they do MSNBC,

I doubt that but I think it would be great if the Dems had the guts to debate on Fox.

[Cynic]

They are a right wing propaganda entertainment cable channel, why would Democrats care about them?

With the exception of a few small states, independents don’t vote in the primaries.

There are a lot of reasons why the DNC should not give FOX a debate - and very few reasons why they should.

I thought Lester Holt did a good job last night.

Oh so, Democratic candidates don’t really want to start swaying independents right now? Ok, works for me. Take your time. No rush. If you never get around to it, that’s even better. Oh and yes they do in at least some states. Small states? Like Illinois, Texas and Virginia? lol

I wanted to see him debate Biden. I think Biden would have swung on him.

I’m not sure why they would. I could be wrong but I think most people feel more comfortable within their own bubble.

@FlameHeart

The same is true with MSNBC, CNN, NBC, and PBS. The state seems to have gotten its paws in all the news stations.

I think that’s backwards.

I want him to debate Mayor Pete. It would be fun to watch someone that can speak English debate someone that speaks gibberish.

Try to think about this from a practical, reality-based perspective, rather than a rhetorical ammunition perspective.

@altair1013

What gives? After watching that debacle last night how can anyone say that FOX moderators would have done a worse job than those MSNBC goofballs? It was total chaos. Mainly just an exchange of insults with very little substance being discussed. Out of control crap. There is no way this would happen with real professionals such as Brett Baier and Martha McCallum. Ridiculous. Fox could teach them a thing or two about managing a debate.

Because they’re trash.
