It's actually pretty difficult to go after the underlying problems of someone who just shot themselves in the head. | ||

But I like the moderator so far. A controlled but fair moderation. | ||

There's plenty of people who go to get help, so you can learn what makes people depressed in this way, and pushes them there. Put programs in place to help these people, not by making it more difficult to commit suicide. It might just be a basic philosophical concept we don't agree on. | ||

I do but even you'd have to admit that this is partially because of Trump. He has obviously decided to be calm in this debate. That helps Wallace. But yes, Wallace in general is doing great. | ||

I always anticipated him to be the best of the moderators - but he is being helped by Trump not being so hyper. I think Radditz could have done a good job on her own as well, but the dual moderator thing didn't work very well. | ||
