Sorry to interrupt

We are far too polite. We're taught that it's rude to interrupt people and to wait our turn. I'm sure that many of you, like me, are tired of watching debates that are anything but....debates. No matter whom you support in this election, I'm sure you'll agree that no one is consistently answering the questions directly and rarely are directly addressing and countering on a point-by-point basis claims and arguments by their opponent. Isn't that what a "debate" is supposed to be?

I put the blame squarely on the moderator. Too much emphasis is placed upon them asking clever questions (which by the way are always the same easily predictable questions) and barely any emphasis on actually moderating. I want to see them interrupt the candidates and same "no, you may not change the topic...you did not answer the question...please respond to your opponents claims...and beat them over the head until they do so!

I don't need another opportunity to hear them tell me their positions, which we're already acquanited with!
