The press release for the R's debate that angered trump

This post is regarding a press release, not the primary, so it should not have to be moved to GD-P

I saw the donald pulled out of the upcoming primary due to the host and something in the press release, so I looked up the press release (hosted by FUXNEWS and google). I quickly became interested in how the format is setup and how people not in Iowa will be able to interact with the debate. I watched 2 democratic debates and I am just wondering why the heck we can't do something like this on our side? It actually sounds really cool....

"... the debate will incorporate real-time Google trends and data to determine questions for the candidates. Additionally, several YouTube stars will have the opportunity to pose questions via submitted videos on topics of importance to them.

On the Google Trends homepage, viewers will have the chance to interact with the debate during the telecast. The page will feature real-time insights on candidate search interest, key issues and topics covered throughout the night. Real-time Google Trends will be showcased during the FOX News post-debate analysis. Leading up to January 28th, Google users will have the opportunity to preview the upcoming debate through various content, including a video and election-related search terms."

That sounds like a great idea, too bad it was wasted on the clown car debates. Did we have this type of real time interaction and analysis in any of our debates? Apologies if I just didn't know it and made you read part of a fuxnews press release :p
