I've Been Thinking:

The final Presidential Debate finished up last night.
Once again, what a disappointment.

Presidential debates do not have to be inspiring, but they should at least be entertaining, they should at least provide the public with some insights.
Voters are less interested in sparring than they are in personal details.
Of all the debates this one had the most tension, but even that led nowhere.

As I review the debates I have come to a conclusion.
It is the moderators, not the candidates, who are at fault for the lackluster quality of the presidential debates.
The moderators were incapable of getting to the heart of the candidates.
The moderators were content with almost every answer they received.
The moderators hardly ever followed up seriously on any issue and did not force the candidates to think seriously or show us who they really are.

High school debates pack more wallop than these presidential debates.
