    I'd be happy if either one had half the intelligence of the average Olympian.

    Can anyone even imagine Trump answering questions for a 15 minute block off the cuff without saying something regretful?

    I don't see why some of the debates couldn't be done sitting anyway. Obama / McCain did at least one debate sitting at a table.

    You didn't hear about her demands. She wanted chairs. I'd be surprised if we don't see them down the road.

    As for the media being rigged-thats a given at all times, even when they aren't this desperate.

    Its something lefties pretend they can't see (though they claim to see such things everywhere else), but its obvious to everyone else.

    Candy Crowley.

    Hillarys healthy right? So it shouldn't matter, right?

    Clinton will find a way to play her gender card, and if she doesn't the press will do it for her. Trump will need all the energy he can muster to not say something stupid or make one of his dumbass faces. This will be like watching a train-wreck,... everybody loses. Thank God for Netflix.

    She is recovering from pneumonia. I don't see why someone who is recovering from pneumonia should be judged on whether she can stand for 90 minutes.

    But if she does get through all the debates without any meltdowns, will you accept that she is physically fit for the office of president?

    Is she healthy or not? If she is, its no problem. If she's not-why shouldn't she have to deal with the political fallout?

    No, I will not accept she's physically fit if she manages to survive 90 minutes on stage.

    Thats a pretty low standard, even by lefty standards isn't it?

    Think maybe we should demand an iron man race, or one of them mud races? I bet someone wants dem ratings enough.

    I'm actually wondering if they are having no commercial breaks, because the attention span of americans fades dramatically when a commercial break hits, we channel surf, we find something else for those few minutes, we might not come back... after thinking about it, I genuinely believe this may have a large impact why the debates shorter, with no commercials, because they would go for massive numbers to much smaller numbers with each commercial break... especially the younger the viewer gets, the more likely they are to just switch when given that break... I'm glad its not 3 hours, I'd never bother to tune in to be honest, I'd be okay with 60min and 4 meaningful subjects discussed in 15min segments... I mean do we need a bunch of odd questions that nobody really cares about, or won't sway either side, lets pick 4 subjects that voters care about the most... heck maybe you could boil it down to 3 subjects, and compel them to dive into details, rather than dance along the one-liners...

    Clearly, it upset you enough to comment on it.

    I don't see all the fuss in this woman being sick at the moment. She really is, she looks ghastly. It's pneumonia not cancer she will recover. Trump still looks surprisingly fresh oddly enough.

    Hillary did amazing during the Benghazi hearings to say otherwise is silly and it was a masterful stroke on her part to be so aggressive. It showed strength of character and the fact she lied means little just like in a debate. It's public perception that will matter not substance that will carry one of them through these debates.

    If substance mattered to us Jeb Bush would be sitting with a nice 10 point lead over Bernie Sanders right now

    I don't think the debate will be quite as controlled as her Benghazi hearing, where she was found to be lying about the attack.
