A Presidential debate in primetime on a major broadcast network and..........


not one woman or minority moderator is on the panel.



Yep folks, CBS one of the three largest broadcast networks in our country, apparently couldn't find one woman or minority to be included in the debate, to ask questions to people vying to become our next commander in chief!




AMAZING!

1. I think it's because women are smarter and wouldn't want to be seen
with this crowd of clowns. Just my take..

3. One of the clowns is a woman, so that takes the edge off your
argument, that and the millions of women who vote Republican.

2. Litmus tests such as you suggest are revolting to me.
These two are doing a good job, who's to say your chosen few would do better?

5. What really matters is the questions asked - not the color or gender of the
one doing the asking.

repubs have their token woman and black and they haven't raised the level of discourse. Last election dems had a woman a black and a latino and repubs had a stage full of old white guys.

6. The man who is the actual commander in chief right now is a minority
Is that good enough for you?
