Shit, it is the moderators who are combative, not the candidates! This is stressing me out!

Jake Tapper is particularly bad. He thinks the point of a question is to create fireworks, when the point of a question should be to inform the public.

And this cutting people off right in the middle of an importance sentence is ridiculous.

Whole swaths of this mess are them getting men to yell at each other and women being ignored.

Absolutely disgraceful.

I don't want arguments. I just want to hear his positions and see how he holds up. I'd like someone else but he's leading right now so I'll give it a peek.

Line is really good. We're only up to Season 4. It's riveting.
