How will the GOP rewrite the forum for debates???? (Original Post) CK_John May 2015 OP
Probably, just give each candidate 5 minutes each... Xyzse May 2015 #1
Right now they over 21 and I doubt the networks will give them that much time. CK_John May 2015 #2

To spout off whatever nonsense they want, without interruption.

They get another 3 minutes each without interruption to address whatever each other have said.

Then they get 2 minutes each to give their closing arguments.

They wouldn't have to talk to each other or chide each other, and just get them to go pure soundbyte.

Forgot...

Then, I have no idea. Let them talk over each other and just go at it?

Give one question like:
"What would you do as President?"

Then see what shakes out?
