Every Armchair Critic In the US Thinks They Have Better Debate Questions Than the Moderators
Watching the debates this election season has been interesting, to say the least. There is a lot of yelling. Sometimes, candidates talk about their junk. It seems like there have been endless debates, but in fact, there have only been 12 on the Republican side and nine (and a half, as of this writing) on the Democratic side. As they’ve all drawn on, the American public has become more and more vocal about the questions they’d like to see their candidates answer.
Here are the ones people are most upset about this evening:
There have been nine #DemDebate(s) and there has been no in-depth conversation (if any) about Africa or the Caribbean.
