The Moderators

The Moderators (Republican debate 10/28) By Franklin Price 10/29/2015 The moderators were not debaters They were not supposed to be Should have controlled and asked the questions Not to agree or disagree Should have taken answers given And moved on to the next Why they chose there to participate Has me really very vexed The evidence was plenty Moderators there to stir the pot Directly Bait debaters To develop their own plot Debaters stood up to them Tried to keep things pertinent Tried to address this country's issues Those they would face as president Moderators tried to cut them off Did not want to hear their views Strife among the candidates Raises ratings makes better news To me control and questioning Was a joke that was not fun I'm sure the debaters were sick of it Long before the night was done If candidates are serious About a win election day The next debate get moderators Who will keep out of the way

Glad you agree. It was pretty evident what was going on. Such a shame.
