GOP Candidates: "These Debates Are Too Hard."

The present crop of Republican presidential candidates continues to amaze. Now they are telling us they want to change the GOP debates because they don't like answering difficult questions. They want:
1. friendly interrogators who will give them softball questions, 
2. they want the length of the debate limited to 2 hours, 
3. they want the temperature lowered so they do not perspire, 
4. they want rock-star green rooms prior to the debate
5. no questions about things like foreign policy
In other words, they don't want a debate, but have a platform for each candidate to do a free campaign commercial.

PWL_400x400.jpg (400×400)Most of their campaigns are based on fear, but who would have guessed they were afraid of an independent media. Since in the past they have "waged war" on whatever they fear, we will now  be witnessing a "war on the media." And, if that's not enough, one of the candidates, Donald Trump, wants to get paid for participating.

If you're thinking a debate such as they are asking for would be so boring no one would watch, I would agree.;but this could be a lot of fun if the candidates asked each other questions. Talk about a cat fight. Their debates would have the same appeal as a World Wrestling Federation match and would attract the same audience. And, in my opinion, they should, like wrestlers, be paid for their performances.

On a more serious note, one has to wonder how these candidates would be able to handle the presidency if they have trouble with a few hours of tough questions from independent journalists. The questions and decisions become much more so in the Oval Office.
