Episode notes
Debate Partnerships
- Fox News should not have partnered with Univision for the Republican debate.
- Univision is a leftist organization, and their involvement created bias.
Moderator Role
- Debate moderators must control the flow for the audience's benefit.
- They should enforce rules, manage interruptions, and ensure clarity.
Christie's Quip
- Chris Christie's "Donald Duck" line during the debate fell flat.
- It felt rehearsed and uncomfortable, not his usual strong debate performance.
