In roughly two weeks, the Democratic 'debates' start up via NBC....over two nights. I know....you are fairly excited that this will be a Wednesday and Thursday night situation....with ten different candidates each night.
It's bad enough when you get like five guys up on a stage and limited to a two-minute response, but you get ten, and repeat this the next night? I'll go ahead and predict this....that the audience watching on second evening will be half the size of the first night. If you drew the card for the second night group? You won't make any points and this will be the beginning of the end.
Moderators? Five of them? Yes. Lester Holt, Savannah Guthrie, Chuck Todd, Rachel Maddow, and Jose Diaz-Balart. This will be another problem as they 'run over' each other in asking questions or moderating.
I expect this by the weekend after the 2-day event to be categorized as a mega-screw-up. With this many folks, I think it'd been better to have just candidates up on the stage with one moderator, and just repeat this every other day for two weeks.
Then add to this fury in that they will repeat this roughly a month later (unless this goes terribly wrong).
Trump to watch? That's another thing.....he'll be firing away on Twitter....minutes after some stupid comment is made, and the public will be viewing his comments against the NBC episode.
