To the Editor:
I finished watching the recent Democratic debate and I’m disappointed in some of the candidates and the commentators. There was no debate control. Here’s my solution and some new rules for debates.
I propose we follow soccer rules and have yellow and red cards to be “awarded” by commentators. If a candidate uses up their allowable time and continues after the warning, they get a yellow card.
The same rule would apply to anyone who rudely interrupts another without being recognized. If one earns two yellow cards the next penalty is the issuance of a red card. A red card comes with a 10-minute loss of speaking time supported by the offender’s microphone disabled for the 10 minutes.
One more yellow card being issued results in removal from the debate stage.
I also suggest that the past and current candidates do as Michael Bloomberg said he’ll do and promise to give funds to the nominated candidate. They will all have money left over in their campaign funds. The money would be used to defeat President Donald Trump.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
