Why do we even know who the moderators are at these debates? Why don't they bring in one fair even handed man or woman and ask them questions? Because they have egos as big as the candidates and it's all a show for themselves instead of an actual debate. About the only thing of interest I have seen at any of these debates was Christie making rubio look like a complete idiot. It's too bad Christie would walk all over the constitution if he thought the government needed it or he would have made a decent candidate.

I want a leader who recognizes how to negotiate from strength. If putin, or kim Jong un, or whoever want to meet with the president what good does it do the US if there is nothing to be gained? When there is something to talk about and they want to get serious and deal then meet, otherwise it's a waste of time and you run the risk of looking weak. You know why he can choose to show up at the debate or not? Because the Republican party is not pulling his strings and threatening to cut off his support like they would anyone else. Every one of them are under the thumb of the party. The same party that hasnt done a damn thing with the majority in both houses of congress for the past 2 years.

Why can't he show up and take the jabs and answer to whatever they throw at him like the others do? What makes him any more or less important. To me it says he does not care about his supporters, I would love to see them play some tapes of him in past interviews like they did for Rubio and Cruz. He probably realizes how many people would slap themselves and wake up and think how the crap have I been supporting this guy. Hopefully they will ask the other candidates questions and let them answer for trump since he is too good to be there to compete for mine or your votes.
