“Last night in Donald Trump’s first debate appearance since January 6th, the debate moderators did not ask him what the January 6th committee very much wanted to ask him, what were you doing for those 187 minutes?”

“Instead … the very first question to Donald Trump was:”

CNN: You want to impose a 10% tariff on all goods coming into the U.S. How will you ensure that that doesn’t drive prices even higher?’

TRUMP: It’s not going to drive them higher.

    Judges don’t tell a team their facts are wrong, the other team does. Judges decide which of the teams had better argumentation.

    I find the judge symbolism interesting and compelling, but moderators are not judges. They’re not making a judgement in place of the citizens by the end.

    Rather than only letting two people debate, they could ask for clarifications. If you see them as press, and as representing the citizens, you may even think they have to to fulfill the press code and their responsibility.
