debates. I want Mic Checks, glitterbombs, surprise unscripted questions, etc etc.

These "debates" so far have just been an Orwellian "2 hours of hate" from the GOOP establishment. John King should have stuck the infidelity question on Newt, as well as his "food stamp" racist comments. But he backed off and let the GinGrinch have it. The corporate/mainstream media is not going to ask the REAL questions, and its important that we not let the GOP control these debates.
