amateurs? very poorly run debate. the comments from the moderators (with the possible exception of Chris Wallace) throughout the thing made me think of these guys:

Refuse to watch FNC

Fair and balanced my ###. The only thing you are going to learn from that channel is the GOP establishment's talking points.

purposefully screwed Dr. Ron Paul out of his debate spot in 2008. Seems that they have developed a formula of having blond babes with law degrees pair up with dark haired studs.
There was a time when FNC had Fred Barnes, Mort Kondracke, Brit Hume, and some other respected media types. Now FNC is like the Golden Corral for lazy pseudo conservative Republicans.

The treatment of RP and libertarians is one of the reasons I'm still pretty sore with the GOP and FNC. I view the GOP more negatively than dems eventhough in theory I should be more closely aligned with the pubs.

FNC moderator: Dr. Paul, can you tell us why

you hate America so much? Oh, and a follow-up to Rev. Huckabee's very valid question: why are you in this primary and not the ISIS primary?

The production did not feel polished. I am not sure why

that is because I thought FNC had a reputation for good presentation. But I was more than happy with the tone of the debate, the questions, and the actual moderation.

seriously, if Roger Ailes is going to pick our candidates, he should put up a classier window dressing.

I agree that it was not polished.

Indeed it was far from it. It was disjointed with odd added commentary from the moderators. Timing was also strange.
I didnt watch a debate. I watched a question and answer session. A town hall q&a would be better because at least that is spontaneous. This was worse than a town hall because it was completely scripted by FNC. FNC wanted a narrative and wanted to elicit sound bites and it did just that.

I just kept thinking "American Idol" for some reason

Bunch of guys on stage, three judges, one hot woman and two guys, Trump calling out Rosie. Just struck me as a reality TV show. That's part Trump and part the setup I think.
