What do you want to see in tonight's debate?

I’ve heard more than enough about Ukraine this week - would like Sanders and Warren to talk about their vision and policy differences.

1. How about a real debate for a change.

All these things are is a forum, where they give canned answers, some of them just dancing around the issues. I truly think they are a waste of time.

6. I completely agree with you. I've referred to them as "pageants"...

I completely agree with you. I've referred to them as "pageants" where all they have to do is wave and smile, not trip over their shoelaces, not accidentally punch someone in the face, and don't smear the party.

I can almost guarantee you that the moderator/s will speak more words throughout the "debate" than all the candidates combined.

4. If they don't go HARD against Trump on Syria, we have just succeeded in "normalizing" indefensible.

policy and ideas, rather than attack. I'm very interested to see how Steyer comports himself, what his ideas are now that impeachment is happening. I've become more interested in Amy K lately, would like to hear more of what she has to say. I HOPE to hear something from Kamala H that inspires me like it did when she first appeared on the scene and made her my first choice. And I'd like to see Cory B put in a strong performance.

I want to hear plans for putting our nation back together, hopefully even better than it was. I want to hear clearly explained plans for healthcare, infrastructure, education and climate change actions.

What I don't want is a lot of yelling, talking over each other, attacking. I want some Godamned civil INTELLIGENT discourse, FFS.

They can take the physical challenge. Two times being unable to either answer a question well or unsuccessful completions of the physical challenge, and they have to leave the stage.

And I want the moderator to be Marc Summers.

And discuss how to repair foreign policy that Trump has destroyed in the Mid East and with allies.
