I don't understand why the commission keeps attempting to make this "unbiased".
Let's just embrace the bias and have the debate co-moderated by Hannity and Rachel Maddow.
Either that or let's just do away with the moderator. Let's have the candidates show up and actually have to work down the list of things they wanna talk about on their own without a 3rd person in there interrupting all the time.

Let's be real: the debates aren't intended to be fair or balanced in any way. They could easily do a dozen different things to improve them, but they won't since they are doing it the way they are doing it to rig it in Biden's favor.
I mean. The idea that they are asked different questions should give it away from the get-go. If both parties had to answer the same topic, that'd be inherently more fair.
Yes! And the narrative from the media is "Trump was interrupting, Trump refused 'again' to denounce white supremacists"
I haven't talked to anybody in real life who understands how big of a deal it was that Trump exposed, in front of the largest TV audience in history, that the Obama administration planned a coup. That should have been all over the media if there was any bit of fair and balanced.
The government is compromised. Not for the people by the people. Someone from outside got in, someone they had no blackmail on, someone who would not do their bidding. So the entire system worked together and failed to get him out.
Trump's second term is literally the only way to move forward without a violent revolution.
Agreed. I think a good solution would be to give the moderators strict rules, just as they do the candidates. I.e. all questions must be “topic” based and cannot have subtext. Leave it up to the candidates to bring up specifics about one another. For example:
Moderator: “President Trump, discuss your track record on the Economy, you have 2 minutes.”
Trump: “My track record on the economy is great. Look what we’ve done... “...” ... Joe Biden on the other hand wants to raise your taxes and say bye bye to your retirements.
Moderator: “Mr. Biden, your 2 minutes to discuss the economy, sir”
Biden: “Your right! If you elect me your taxes will go up not you know the thing”
I do agree though that they could at least select openly biased moderators for each candidate and have them each moderate an equal number of debates. That would be fair.

Lol the commission itself is runned by the same group of biased politicians and urinalists
The original Presidential debate had no moderator. We should return to that.
My proposal: start with a list of topics. For each topic, randomly choose which candidate goes first.
Use a chess-match clock to track the time. Any unused time is "banked" for their closing statement.
Microphones are turned off while the candidate is not speaking, and automatically turn off when the time expires.
The lack of time for rebuttal in the first debate was infuriating.

Also Wallace leading a question by telling Trump his EO on prescription drugs was "largely symbolic".
That pissed me off more than anything

Haha, the debate would be between the moderators!
