    In his Salon article, Gary Legum says, “Enough with notorious liberals like Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly. It's time for True Conservative moderators!” He then continues, “If the wingnuts want to pick their questioners, here are some suggestions.”

    1. Sarah Palin for debate moderator. “Anything she says would likely be a stream of babble that would trail off into nothing, leaving the candidates free to just opine about whatever talking points they would have spouted even if asked a coherent question.”

    2. Curt Schilling. “The former baseball great might need something to do after ESPN suspended him for tweeting out memes he seemed to have found on a Stormfront message board.”

    3. Michael Bay. “Mostly so the candidates could all tell him how stoked they are to watch ‘13 Hours’ and listen to him brag that he should be in charge of the next Benghazi investigation.”

    4. A Tricorn Hat. “[It] wouldn’t actually be able to ask any questions, but as a symbol of the Tea Party, it could just sit on a table and swell each candidate’s heart with waves of patriotic fervor every time they look at it.”

    Legum’s plan would guarantee each candidate a platform with no “gotcha” questions to force them to make any substantial commitments on the real issues important to the majority of Americans. The next debate could be a conservative/neoconservative love-fest with the only harsh words by participants aimed at Hillary. (Although, The Donald probably wouldn’t cooperate on that point.)

    There is a difference between tough questions, none of which were ever asked of Hillary Bernie or the other goofs present at the boring Democratic debate, and questions of the have you stopped beating your wife variety as asked at the CNBC debate.

    Is this supposed to be humor or just shallow and pointless partisan hackery?

    Please let the aforementioned conservatives moderate a Democrat debate I want to see Hillary's head explode. Imagine no planted questions, no soft balls, no script. Hillary's head would explode.

    No one is actually watching the GOP debates to figure out who to vote for...it is mostly a show to see who gets the boot and thus they will know what name to check off on the ballot. Myself, I am watching for pure entertainment value as I have decided to stay home this time.

    I think it is a wonderful idea! Might I suggest some additional "non-invasive" questions for the moderators?

    -Do you prefer chocolate ice cream over strawberry?
    -Can you name the first and last Presidents of the United States?
    -Who is the Lombardi trophy named for?

    Although if one of them is sports challenged, the last one might be pretty tough. The POOR GOP! They are so harassed and picked on my the MSM. The Charlie Brown of the Political World...:cry::gop::cry:

    Gary Legum pointed out some good personalities to be Moderators at the next GOP Debate. Such a Debate would be funny.
