Do you remember back in 2012 when debate moderator Candy Crowley interrupted Mitt Romney for having his facts mixed up? There was a big brouhaha about that and it might have cost Crowley her job. It\u2019s taboo in a debate for a moderator to challenge the veracity of a candidate, and it would become an absolute circus in 2016 with Donald Trump, who seems to be challenged in saying what actually happened in the past, what is happening now, and what might happen in the future.<\/p>\n
But the biggest problem is getting a straight answer from candidates or their surrogates. When confronted with a question that they don\u2019t want to answer (most questions), the frequent modus operandi<\/em> is to deflect the question and morph it into an opportunity to criticize their opponent. To control this errant behavior requires a moderator to immediately step in and stop a candidate who deviates.You don\u2019t think that it can be done? Well watch what Rev. Faith Green Timmons did yesterday in Flint, MI when Trump deviated from addressing Flint\u2019s water problem and tried to attack Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n
