The candidates want more control over the debates, which is understandable, given the useless disaster of a debate they had on CNBC.   My suggestion is that they all produce a 5 minute commercial, and get one of the networks to run them all back to back.   Then have an interviewer record a 5 minute interview and run all those back to back.   Standing on stage answering dumb questions about irrelevant stuff and seeing who can pivot into their campaign talking points most seamlessly and most smoothly is not really a good test of who should be President in my opinion.
