This is how a moderator is supposed to handle a debate. No word salads. Answer the question or STFU

[kpete]

Definitely AMAZING:

1. Pure Gold

Add it to our Olympic medal count!!!
USA, USA, USA, Take it back, with Joy and laughter.
Pisses them off so much.

[rsdsharp]

2. Why isn't this guy on the national media?

If he moderated a Presidential debate, Trump’s head would literally explode.

[Zoomie1986]

7. He's a real journalist

Not a willing bootlicker for fascism.

The oligarch-owned media can't have that.

[intrepidity]

3. I would enjoy this more without the split screen

Jeeze, these youtube "reaction" videos are fine when the "reactor" is a small box in a corner, but half the screen? No thanks.

[ShazzieB]

22. And not only that...

The left side of the screen was mostly fairly static head and shoulders shots, but the guy on the right had his face filling up most of the screen part of the time and was bouncing back and forth at other times. That made his reactions even more distracting than they would have been otherwise. Drove me nuts!

I ended up using my hand to block my view of the right side of the screen, so I could concentrate on what the moderator and the debaters were saying.

[Silver Gaia]

25. Same!

He made it more about him than the actual content. His comment at the end was fine. The rest was over the top. Ugh.

[Coexist]

4. Is that real?

[ProfessorGAC]

6. They Got Stomped

He was so ready for the facts, and didn't let them derail things.
Bravo

[LizBeth]

8. Is this for real? It looked for real. This needs to be sent to every news media outlet.

[appmanga]

9. This is what you get...

...when your reporters/moderators aren't worried about being one of the Cool Kids who can cozy up to the folks in power as "pals" when the cameras aren't on. This man should be gotten on loan to host the ABC debate. He'll ask better, tougher questions of BOTH candidates than Martha Raddish and George Suckenupalist, or whomever they get who won't be the lady from the NABJ conference.

[happy feet]

10. Yup

ABC’s?Rachel Scott is one of a few pure journalists. She, this gentleman, Jonathan Alter or Lawrence O’Donnell will never be tapped for Presidential debates.

[love_katz]

13. DUzy!

Martha Radish and George Suckenapolis!

Perfect descriptions of those worthless pos.

[Warpy]

11. Good luck with that

I don't think TFG is capable of answering questions in a timely manner without going off on tangents and saying what he wants to say in the moment, to hell with the business at hand. For one thing, he's rarely had to. For another, that ability is now beyond him.

But yeah, we all dream of having a real debate with a real moderator presiding over it. It's just not going to happen with TFG.

We haven't seen decent moderation since the debates were taken away from the League of Women Voters.

[FoggyLake]

12. Who is that moderator?

[cos dem]

16. I believe it's Kyle Clark of 9news in Denver

[FoggyLake]

21. Thank you!

[madamesilverspurs]

14. Moderator is Kyle Clark of Denver's Ch 9 (NBC)

He's good. He reminds me of that old joke about the politician who's suddenly looking for the back door when told that Mike Wallace/60 Minutes is at the front door.

[Cha]

17. I thought it might be.. his cips were on DU

awhile ago talking about how great he is in Denver!

TY

[John1956PA]

23. About a months ago, I saw the clip of the Boebert debate with Kyle Clark hosting.

The debate took place on May 29. Over a month later, a DU OP linked clips from the debate. Thereafter, in another DU thread, I posted my opinion that Kyle Clark should be the moderator of any and all future presidential debates this year.

I enjoyed Mr. Clark's line, "Are you apologizing for your behavior or for lying?"

[Cha]

32. Thanks for that! As Opposed to

the Carrying Water for Fascism Calbe ******.

Here's to Kyle Clark getting More and More National Recognition to put the business as usual ****** To Shame.

I was born and raised in Denver..

[John1956PA]

33. Hi, Cha! Yes, you summed it up.

The media are water carriers for the cadre.

I did not know that your birthtown is the beautiful city of Denver. You have been a resident of two marvelous locales.

[Cha]

34. Mahalo John! And, I must say

even more.. I've been lucky enough to live in San Diego, Phoenix,, Asheville NC, and Little Falls NY. Oh and even Gainesville Florida.. back in the day before fascism hit that Wonderful state.

Aloha

[jayschool2013]

24. He and Marshall Zelinger

are a great team.

[Cha]

15. "Can we get this guy to host all debates. Incredible"!

TY!

18. Excellent

[beveeheart]

19. You too can watch Kyle on

Channel 9 evening news Denver. During the last couple minutes of every show, he reads comments, both positive and negative, sent in about content in that newscast. His responses are non-scripted and sometimes hilarious.
Kyle's broadcast is the only local news I watch and I've been a fan since it began several years ago.

[CoopersDad]

20. YES!

He's hired!

[3catwoman3]

26. Damn, he's good.

If Karine Jean-Pierre gets tired of the job, this guy would be a good successor.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

27. krnt

[TBF]

28. OK, that is the best thing I've seen on the Internet today.

"Why do you talk to people like that?" - classic.

[amb123]

29. The moderator did what Harry S Truman would have done.

I never gave anybody hell. I just told the truth on 'em and they thought it was hell.

[oasis]

30. Check out the big brain on mod!

[Freethinker65]

31. Is this real, or spliced together to make candidates look ridiculous?

[rog]

37. I think this is the link to the full debate.

Full Debate: Colorado Congressional District 4 GOP Primary Debate

He is relentless.

[Ruby the Liberal]

35. Thats Kyle Clark from Denver

He truly needs to be on the national stage. On top of being able to cut through the clutter, the guy is a mensch.

[uponit7771]

36. Right !!!!

[uponit7771]

38. This style should be the STANDARD !!
