Real Debates Don't Use Pre-Packaged Questions

I have no questions to ask for the GOP debates because I don't believe that questions (plural) should be asked at debates.

Ever since the Kennedy-Nixon debate in 1960, the USA has believed that debates are events where the rivals stand on stage next to each other and answer standard press-conference questions from the "moderator". This is completely wrong. The point of a debate is that you answer the rival, not the moderator. That's what should distinguish the event from what we see on the Sunday shows every morning.

The modern way of moderating is: The moderator places himself in the middle, his back towards the audience, and gives cues. I want to see the candidates take the cues from each other, as representatives of their factions.

The way an actual debate works is: The moderator gives a brief opening statement (which is optional: the Lincoln-Douglas debates weren't moderated at all), introduces the topic (there is only one, although it's sufficiently broad that tangents aren't allowed), and then keeps his trap shut and enforces the prearranged time limits.

So. The only question (singular) on the table in a primary is "How are you going to win the general election, lead the Republicans to victory in the midterms of 2014, win re-election in 2016, and change government for the better in the process?"

Let's hear it.
