Candy Crowley Did a Heckuva Job
That can't be an easy task and I think she was outstanding. She refereed, fact-checked, got the town hall questioners' their moments, and let a lot of the candidates' back-and-forth fly.
Props to Candy, but both candidates did way too much interrupting or going on with their comments despite time being called. I think some back and forth is good, but they should have accepted the ruling by Line Judge Crowley and just stopped when they were asked to.
I just don't understand why she or someone else in the room doesn't have the power to cut off a mike when the candidate goes over.

Maybe there needs to be a big binder full of Women Moderators for future debates.
ReplyDeleteWe need to give the moderators and the time keepers a cut-off switch for the debaters microphones.
