Reality show

I love our candidates. I feel the debate format, moderators, media, are doing their best to turn these debates into reality shows. I don't believe it's OUR candidates, anyway, but, Chuck Todd's segway, and the questions that provoke internecine insults...it's a shame it can't be more adult.

what I was trying to express. Sanders is too philosophical to come out with the big sound bites...Hillary looked too scripted....And I think the moderators were giving Hillary more air time....O'Malley had some good ideas but was ignored.

The problem in my view was with the moderators.
