#9 The RNC didn't "pull out" of the debate. Donald Trump told them that they were f%@ing "fired" and the RNC put its tail between their legs and whimpered off into a corner. |

#7 I think rjschwarz has a good idea but if it's Too boooorrrrrring, not enough "excitement", pizazz or BS then you could have some televised debates as well. The media has an important role to play in the process but they're all so lazy, biased and crooked they're not playing it anymore. It was nice to see the candidates calling them on it but there is quite of bit of lazy, bias and crooked among them too. |

#6 Step one - kill the media and their political operatives by attacking, attacking, attacking. Step two - (for the short attention span theater goers) stop calling them 'Liberals' or 'Democrats' and start calling them what they've already called themselves - Socialist |

#4 "hopefully we would learn a bit more about them" Too boooorrrrrring, not enough "excitement", pizazz or BS. Actually the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 were a lot like that. Thousands traveled to hear them in person, reporters transcribed the speeches, and they were published in full in many newspapers. |

#3 They'll probably set up the next one with CBS to get a fair shake... Personally I think the candidates should get together a list of topics, each make a short video discussing their opinions on that topic, then make rebuttals to the other candidates opinions. Do it all online. This would allow them to research and consult their experts before they make the videos and rebuttals which is more akin to what the President does anyway. It would remove gotcha questions and capture headlines week after week as new topics were posted (with rebuttals). And hopefully we would learn a bit more about them. |

#2 Comcast/NBC is a Democrat front. Nice to kick them in the ass. Perhaps the Republican President should pay them back |

#1 aka... letting the enemy choose the battlespace so they can take out the popular but not desirable to the establishment plan backfiring so badly that Jeb is Dead and the RNC looks like complete fools. |
