    We need to go back how it was before it was televised…

    Now you can just ramble for 90 seconds, and everyone moves on.

    Back in the day there was no time limit. Moderators asked a question, and just kept asking it till the candidate answered or admitted they had no clue how to answer. The debate might take an hour. It might take 12.

    It’s crazy we’re still letting the limitations of broadcast television take precedence.

        Shit man, we have CSPAN for a reason, but yeah…

        Without ads there’s no reason not to let literally anyone that wants to run the stream. Especially if they went far enough to require it be a complete Livestream without anyone talking over it.
